A loft bed is a type of elevated bed that creates extra space underneath for various uses. Unlike traditional beds, loft beds do not have a lower mattress, allowing for room for a desk, seating area, or storage. They are popular in small living spaces, such as dorm rooms or studio apartments, where maximizing floor space is essential. Loft beds come in various styles and sizes, accommodating different needs and preferences. Some models include built-in features like shelves or desks, while others are simple frames. They are suitable for both children and adults, making them a versatile furniture option for many households.
