More room to play, study or simply keep things organised – without needing a bigger bedroom. Our children's loft beds make clever use of vertical space, lifting the sleeping area to leave valuable room underneath.
Explore our collection of Benlemi wooden loft beds, from lower raised beds to high sleepers with desks, storage stairs and house-inspired designs. Whether you're making the most of a smaller bedroom or creating a more practical space for a growing child, discover beds that offer more than just somewhere to sleep.
Children's bedrooms have a lot to fit in. There's the bed, of course, but also toys, books, clothes, school things and whatever collection they're currently working on.
A loft bed offers a clever alternative to arranging everything around a traditional bed frame. By raising the mattress, it frees up floor space underneath for other uses.
That might mean extra storage, a desk for homework or simply more room to move around. The best arrangement depends on the height of the bed, your child's age and how you want the bedroom to work.
Our Benlemi collection includes wooden loft beds in different heights and styles, so you can choose a design that makes sense for your space rather than simply opting for the tallest one.
Not all loft beds are equally high. In fact, choosing the right height is one of the most important decisions when shopping for a raised bed.
A low loft bed raises the sleeping area enough to create useful space underneath without placing the mattress as high as a traditional high sleeper.
Benlemi designs such as TULY and PLOTTY offer a lower raised sleeping arrangement with ladder access.
These can be a good option when you want some of the space-saving benefits of a loft bed but don't need a full-height structure.
The area underneath may be useful for suitable storage or other low-level arrangements, depending on the bed's clearance. Always check the actual measurements before planning how to use the space.
A high sleeper raises the mattress further from the floor, creating a larger area underneath that can be used for furniture, storage or a study space.
Benlemi's MAKALU range includes loft bed configurations with desks and storage stairs, offering practical solutions for older children who need a bedroom that works for both sleeping and schoolwork.
Higher beds need more ceiling clearance and may not suit every room, so it's worth measuring carefully before choosing.
Benlemi offers several approaches to raised sleeping, from simple wooden frames to more elaborate designs with integrated furniture and storage.
A ladder-access loft bed is a practical choice when you want to keep the overall footprint relatively compact.
With the sleeping area raised above the floor, the space underneath can be used according to the bed's height and design.
Before ordering, check which side the ladder can be fitted to and make sure there's enough room to climb in and out comfortably.
As children grow, bedrooms often need to accommodate more than toys and bedtime stories. Homework, drawing, reading and creative projects all need somewhere to happen.
A loft bed with a desk brings the sleeping and study areas together, using the space underneath the raised mattress rather than requiring a separate desk elsewhere in the room.
Selected Benlemi MAKALU configurations include a desk beneath the sleeping area, making them worth considering for school-age children with limited floor space.
Check the desk dimensions, available headroom and natural light before choosing a layout, particularly if the desk will be used regularly.
Storage stairs combine access to the upper sleeping area with additional compartments for keeping belongings organised.
They're a useful alternative to a conventional ladder, particularly in bedrooms where extra storage is welcome.
However, stair units generally require more floor space than ladders. Check the complete bed and staircase dimensions, including which side the stairs will occupy.
For a bedroom with a little more character, selected Benlemi loft beds feature house-inspired details and roof-shaped structures.
These designs bring together the playful appearance of a house bed with the practical advantages of a raised sleeping area.
When measuring for a house-style loft bed, remember to include the full height of the roof structure as well as the sleeping platform.
Many Benlemi loft beds have a 90 × 200 cm sleeping area, offering the length of a European single bed.
That's 10 cm longer than a standard UK single mattress, so it's important to choose the correct mattress size.
| Mattress Size | What to Know |
|---|---|
| 90 × 190 cm | Standard UK single mattress size. |
| 90 × 200 cm | European single size used by many Benlemi loft beds. |
Remember: Mattress measurements are not the same as the overall bed dimensions. Ladders, staircases, headboards and house-style frames can add considerably to the complete footprint.
Always check the measurements of your chosen Benlemi model before ordering.
Loft beds are designed for children who are old enough to use an elevated sleeping area safely.
Children under six years old should not sleep in a raised loft bed. Benlemi specifies a minimum age of six for its loft bed range, in line with the age restriction for elevated sleeping positions under EN 747-1.
Age alone isn't the only consideration. Your child should also be able to use the ladder or stairs safely and understand that the raised sleeping area isn't somewhere to jump or play roughly.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific bed, including age restrictions, maximum load, mattress thickness and installation requirements.
A loft bed can be a brilliant space-saving solution, but it needs a little more planning than a traditional single bed.
Measure from the floor to the ceiling, then compare that with the complete height of the bed and the position of the mattress.
Your child needs sufficient space to sit up comfortably without hitting the ceiling. Remember to account for sloping ceilings, light fittings and ceiling fans.
Before choosing a design, think about what you actually want to fit beneath the bed.
Check the clearance underneath the bed before buying furniture for that space. Not every loft bed has enough height for a desk or seated activities.
Ladders usually need less floor space, while stairs may offer a different access arrangement and, on selected designs, useful storage.
Consider where the access will be positioned, how much space it needs and whether your child can use it confidently and safely.
Mattress height is particularly important with raised beds because a mattress that's too thick can reduce the effective height of the surrounding safety barriers.
Benlemi's recommended maximum mattress thickness varies between models. Always follow the limit stated on the individual product page and in the manufacturer's instructions.
Changing the sheets on a high sleeper can take a little more effort than on a low bed. It's also worth considering how your child will manage getting up during the night.
And while a loft bed can free up space, the furniture underneath should be arranged so it doesn't interfere with the ladder, stairs or safe use of the bed.
Raised beds need to be assembled correctly, with all specified fixings, guardrails and structural components in place.
Some Benlemi models also recommend wall anchoring. Follow the instructions supplied with your chosen bed and never use it with missing or damaged components.
Both use vertical space, but they solve slightly different problems.
If you're furnishing a shared bedroom for two children, a bunk bed may be the more practical solution. If one child needs somewhere to sleep and the room could benefit from extra usable floor space, a loft bed is worth exploring.
As a small, family-run business, we look for children's furniture that offers something beyond simply looking lovely in a photograph.
Benlemi's wooden loft beds bring together practical space-saving layouts and thoughtful details, from compact raised frames to designs with integrated desks and storage stairs.
Whether you're creating a bedroom for a school-age child or updating a room that's starting to feel a little crowded, explore our Benlemi loft beds and find a design that makes better use of the space you have.

Yes, if the bed is designed with sufficient clearance. Selected Benlemi MAKALU models include integrated desk options. Check the dimensions carefully before choosing a separate desk for another loft bed.
Mattress inclusion depends on the individual product and selected options. Check the listing for the exact contents, mattress dimensions and maximum permitted thickness.
Installation requirements vary by model. Benlemi recommends wall anchoring for selected loft beds. Always follow the assembly and installation instructions supplied with your chosen design.
No. A loft bed normally has one raised sleeping area with open space underneath, while a bunk bed provides two sleeping levels. Both make use of vertical space, but they're designed for different needs.
