Loft Beds

Loft Beds for Kids

A loft bed is an elevated bed frame: like the top bunk of a bunk bed with open space underneath instead of a lower sleeping berth. The space below can be used for a desk, storage, or play area.

Elevate your child's bedroom experience with Boori Australia's range of kids loft beds. Ingeniously designed to maximise space, our children's loft beds offer a practical blend of functionality, style, and fun.

One of the standout features of our kids' loft beds is their space-efficiency. Especially in smaller rooms, a loft bed can free up valuable floor space. At Boori, some of our loft beds for children come with integrated storage solutions, helping keep your child's room organised and clutter-free.

From single loft beds to teepee and king single loft beds, our collection caters to diverse needs and room sizes. Whether you're searching for a loft bed with a ladder or a loft bed with storage stairs, Boori has got you covered.

Benefits of a Kids Loft Bed

The main benefits of a kids loft bed are: floor space freed for other furniture, the area below can be customised, and integrated storage options reduce clutter. A loft bed typically frees 4 to 5sqm of floor space in a standard Australian bedroom.

• Space Maximisation: Boori kids loft beds are practical for smaller rooms because raising the sleeping area leaves more floor space for a play zone, study desk, or extra storage.
• Creative Play Areas: The space under the bed can become a reading corner, play nook, or quiet hideout, depending on your child's age and interests.
• More Storage: Many loft beds for kids include drawers, shelves, or staircase storage that can hold toys, clothes, books, and seasonal items.
• Room to Grow: As children grow, their needs change. A loft bed can support different stages by shifting the lower space from play to study or storage.

What Types of Kids Loft Beds Are Available?

Boori kids loft beds are available in four main configurations: single loft, teepee single loft, king single loft, and king single loft with integrated storage staircase.

• Single Loft Bed: A single loft bed is ideal for a smaller room. It raises the sleeping area and leaves open floor space underneath for a play area, low storage, or a simple study zone.
• Teepee Loft Bed: A teepee loft bed adds a playful tent-style element under the bed. The Forest Teepee Single Loft Bed Package is one example for children who enjoy imaginative play.
• King Single Loft Bed: As children grow, their space requirements change too: a king single loft offers the same floor-space benefits as a single loft but with a wider, longer sleeping area.
• Loft Bed and Desk: A kids loft bed with desk works well when a child needs a quiet study area. The area under the loft bed can become a homework zone, especially when paired with kids desks and chairs.

Choosing the Right Kids Loft Bed for Your Child's Room

The right loft bed depends on ceiling height, floor space available, and whether a study zone or play zone below is the priority.

For a standard Australian apartment or townhouse with a 2.4m ceiling, check that the total loft bed height, including frame, mattress, and sitting clearance, does not exceed the available room height. Measure before ordering.

• Room Size: Make sure the kids loft bed fits properly in your child's room by measuring the floor area, ceiling height, and access around the ladder or staircase.
• Safety: Make sure the kids loft bed has safety measures like guardrails and strong ladder systems built in. Many loft beds also come with stairs instead of ladders, which can make access easier.
• Storage Needs: If your child's room tends to get messy, a kids loft bed with storage could help keep things in order. Look for beds with drawers, shelves, or staircase storage.
• Functionality: A kids loft bed with desk can give a school-aged child a place to do homework and read. A teepee loft bed can create a fun play area under the bed.

What Ceiling Height Do You Need for a Kids Loft Bed?

Ceiling height is the most important measurement to check before ordering a loft bed, particularly in Australian apartments with 2.4m ceilings. Most Boori loft beds sit at approximately 165 to 185cm to the top of the sleeping platform. Add a 20cm mattress, then 60cm of sitting clearance above the child's head: total space needed is around 245 to 265cm. If the ceiling is lower than 270cm, measure your specific Boori model carefully and confirm with the Boori team before ordering. For small-space planning, read Boori's guide to designing a child's bedroom in a small space.

Additional Furniture for Your Kids' Room

A loft bed works best when paired with a chest of drawers or storage unit beneath it, and the right mattress: max 20cm thick on the sleeping platform to maintain safe guardrail height per AS/NZS 4956 guidelines.

Adding furniture that goes well with your child's room will help you get the most out of it. A chest of drawers is a terrific way to store clothes, toys, and other things that do not fit in the loft bed. The Chest of Drawers Collection has storage options that can work with a kids loft bed.

Kids also need a good mattress for their loft bed. A comfortable mattress will help your child sleep well at night. For options that go well with your kids' loft bed, look at the Kids Mattress Collection.

If the area below the bed is being used for study, compare the Natty Study Desk with Hutch Package or browse kids storage to keep books, toys, and school supplies organised.

Why Choose a Kids Loft Bed?

A loft bed is the right choice when floor space is limited, when the child needs a dedicated study area below, or when a play zone is the priority. A standard Australian apartment bedroom can be as small as 2.7m x 2.7m, so lifting the bed can make the room more usable.

• Space Efficiency: A loft bed for kids can free 4 to 5sqm of floor space compared with a standard bed, making room for a desk, reading corner, or storage unit.
• Durability: Loft beds are made to last. A solid loft bed can meet your child's needs for many years when the frame is maintained and the mattress height stays within safety guidance.
• Fun and Functional: Loft beds make the room more engaging for kids while still creating a practical place to sleep, store belongings, study, or play.

How Can Parents Use the Space Under a Loft Bed?

The space under a loft bed can become a study zone, storage area, reading nook or quiet play corner, depending on the child's age. For younger children, a soft rug, low bookshelf and toy baskets can turn the space into a simple play area. This works well when the bedroom does not have enough room for a separate playroom.

For school-aged children, the area under the bed can become a compact homework zone. A small desk, supportive chair, task lamp and shelf can keep school supplies in one place. This helps separate sleep from study while still using the same bedroom footprint. If the room is shared, this defined space can also give each child a clearer personal area.

For rooms that need more storage, the space underneath can hold drawers, baskets or modular storage units. This is useful for toys, seasonal clothing, spare bedding and school bags. The key is to keep the area easy to access. Storage that children can open and close themselves is more likely to stay organised.

Avoid overcrowding the space under a loft bed. If the area becomes too full, the room may feel cramped again. Choose one main purpose first: study, storage or play. Then add only the furniture needed for that purpose. This keeps the loft bed useful without making the bedroom feel busy.
