Loft bed with desk

What is a loft bed with desk?

A loft bed with desk consists of two major elements. First, there is the bed part which is positioned at height, hence the name loft bed. Most often, we talk about a wooden loft bed, as the bed is positioned on a solid wood structure at height. A bit like a bunk bed where only the top bunk has been kept.

The 90x190 loft bed (you can also opt for a 90x200 loft bed) is also equipped with a desk. Indeed, rather than having an empty space underneath the bed as is the case with a classic loft bed, here, a desk is installed. Therefore, it is not uncommon for this piece of furniture to be described as a teenager's loft bed with desk since it is older children and teenagers who most often need a desk to work. The desk in question is often equipped with storage. In short, all that's missing is a comfortable chair.

Why choose a loft bed with desk?

The loft bed with desk is a perfect teenager's loft bed, but it is also suitable for children from the start of primary school. Indeed, when homework starts to pile up in the evening, having a quiet desk for a child is essential. However, installing a desk in a small child's room is not always easy, so the loft bed with desk is the ideal solution. It allows you to save a lot of space while benefiting from a functional and practical space for everyday use.

What criteria to choose a loft bed with desk?

Here are some criteria you can consider when choosing the right loft bed with desk for your child's room:

• The materials: opting for quality materials is essential when choosing your loft bed with desk. Prefer solid wood certified PEFC, ecological panels with low formaldehyde content, or solvent-free paint and varnish.
• The origin: by choosing a loft bed with desk made in France or made in Europe, you have the opportunity to consume more locally and therefore more responsibly. You are also assured of full compliance with current European standards.
• The brand: preferably opt for a brand specialising in children's bedroom furniture design. They will be better designed and more functional.
• The price: the cost of a loft bed with desk can vary from 300 to over 1000 euros. There are therefore models for all budgets.
• The style: here too, there are many possibilities available to you with more or less elaborate designs, white, wood, colours, etc.
• Storage: storage can also be offered with the desk. This will be very practical for storing books and other school supplies more easily.

Complete the installation of your teenager's loft bed

Once your teenager's loft bed with desk is installed, you can complete the room's layout.

The mattress

Start by adding a mattress (a wooden loft bed is rarely sold with a mattress). Make sure that the thickness of the mattress does not exceed that recommended by the furniture manufacturer, otherwise the guardrail may be ineffective.

Bed linen

Opt for quality and comfortable bed linen such as cotton or linen for example. These materials are natural and breathable for an even healthier sleep. For added safety, you can check for the presence of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label.

Decoration and accessories

Finally, all that's left is to decorate and accessorise the whole thing. Add a desk lamp, for example, so that your child can see well when working. You can also install a pencil holder, elements for organising and sorting documents, a perforated wall panel, in short, practical desk accessories for even more organisation. Let your child place the elements as they wish, this will allow them to make the space their own as they see fit.
