Firstly it is important to clarify exactly what a loft bed frame is. This is the term used for a bed when it is raised off the ground creating space for storage, a work station or even another mattress. There was a time when a loft bed was a low bed which would fit into a area with reduced height; these are now referred to as low platform beds.

When you are choosing a loft bed frame it is important to consider a few things. Below is our guide to the three most important factors to think about.

1. What size mattress do you want? The loft bed frame can now accommodate single or full mattress sizes. Even if you only need a single mattress it may be worth looking at the full size as they can create a more practical work station underneath.

2. What do you want underneath your bed? The most popular choices are either a workstation, great for kids who have homework. Otherwise storage is another one. If you go for the storage option then the bed does not need to be as high and this may be more suitable if you have lower ceilings or sloping walls. The third popular choice for underneath the bed is a sofa which will convert to further sleeping space if needed.

3. What do you want your loft bed frame made from? The wooden beds create a lovely traditional look. However for a more contemporary design there are some great metal loft bed frames. If you are furnishing a teenagers bedroom then the metals beds are certainly worth considering and are likely to be a popular choice.

Once you have worked out the basics of your requirements you will then need to be sure that you understand exactly how the space works. For example, some of the work stations have a futon style chair which will pull out for extra sleeping space when needed. These are great, but remember to check that there will be room to extend the second bed as it will be perpendicular to the upper bed.

If you are choosing a loft bed frame with a workstation then make sure that there is enough space. For example, will it be used for writing and drawing or do you need to have a computer there? If you need a computer then it is worth getting one especially designed for this as they will also be able to accommodate a printer and other accessories.

There are so many designs for a loft bed frame that really the difficulty is in deciding exactly what you want.

We all want to have a stylish home, but how do we keep out home simple and uncluttered without getting rid of everything we possess? The answer is to have clever storage and the platform bed with storage is a great place to start.

A bed is a big investment, so you need to spend some time making sure that you don’t get it wrong.

The first thing that a bed must be is comfortable. Bed comfort used to be associated with a sprung frame. This is no longer necessary. The advance of the mattress designs means that the comfort of the bed is primarily defined by the mattress. So it is important that you keep money aside to buy the best quality mattress you can.

The next thing that we want from our furniture is for it to be practical. Well, a bed is without doubt a practical piece of furniture, but you can make it more practical by having storage built in.

Finally we want our furniture to look good. The most popular styles at the moment are streamlined, contemporary styles.

The platform bed with storage is all of the above. They are very comfortable, they offer a huge amount of storage and they are designed to meet the stylised home which we want today.

The platform bed with storage comes in two basic styles. The first and most traditional design is to have drawers which pull out either side of the bed if it is a full size or larger and one side if it is a single bed. If you are choosing this style then it is important to make sure that you have enough space around the bed to access the drawers.

The second and newer style of platform bed with storage is where the whole platform and mattress lift to reveal a huge area for storage under the bed. This is great for longer term storage, you would not want to be lifting your bed up every morning to access your clothes!

Which ever platform bed with storage you choose you can be sure that it will prove a great improvement on a traditional bed where there is all that wasted space underneath it.
