What is a loft bed?

A loft bed is a type of bed that is raised off the ground, typically in a loft or bunk bed style. The space underneath the bed is left open and can be used for additional storage, workspace, or as a seating area. Loft beds are popular in smaller living spaces such as apartments or dorm rooms, as they maximize the use of vertical space. They are also a popular choice for children's bedrooms, as the raised bed allows for more floor space for play and activities. Loft beds come in a variety of styles and materials, from metal and wood to bunk bed combinations. Some loft beds also come with built-in features such as desks, shelves, or stairs for added functionality.
