Full Size Loft Bed | Full Size Loft Bed with Desk

Q: What size mattress fits a full size loft bed?

A full size loft bed takes a standard full size mattress: 54 inches wide by 75 inches long (137 cm × 190 cm). Most manufacturers recommend a mattress between 8 and 12 inches thick to maintain proper guardrail clearance. Confirm the maximum mattress depth listed on the product page before ordering a thicker hybrid or pillow-top mattress.

Q: What can you put under a full size loft bed?

The space under a full loft bed is wide enough for a desk and chair, a dresser and bookcase, a small sofa or bean bag chair, or modular storage units. The 54-inch width gives more flexibility than a twin loft, making it practical to combine a desk and storage beneath the same frame.

Q: How much weight can a full loft bed hold?

Most solid wood full loft beds are rated for 400–800 lbs (181–363 kg) per sleeping surface. Always verify the weight limit in the product specifications for your chosen model.

A full size loft bed elevates your sleeping area so the entire floor footprint beneath it stays open for a desk, storage, seating, or play space. At 54 inches wide by 75 inches long (137 cm × 190 cm), a full loft bed offers considerably more sleeping room than a twin while still fitting comfortably in a standard bedroom. Whether you're outfitting a teenager's room, a college apartment, or a compact guest space, our loft bed collection has a solid wood option built to last.

What Is a Full Size Loft Bed?

A full loft bed is a raised bed frame that positions the full size sleeping surface high off the floor — typically 60 to 70 inches (152 to 178 cm) above the ground for high loft models, or 40 to 55 inches (102 to 140 cm) for low loft versions. The elevated design creates usable space underneath: a built-in desk for studying or working from home, deep storage drawers, open shelving, or simply room for furniture you'd otherwise have no space for.

Unlike a bunk bed, a full loft bed has only one sleeping surface, making it the better choice when you need smart space planning for a single occupant without sacrificing the comfort of a full size mattress.

Types of Full Loft Beds

Our full size loft beds fall into several configurations. Understanding each type makes it easier to match the right bed to the room.

Configuration	Best For	Key Feature
Full Loft Bed with Desk	Students, remote workers, teens	Built-in work surface under the loft; eliminates need for a separate desk
Full Loft Bed with Storage	Small bedrooms, shared rooms	Integrated drawers or shelves — often in stair steps or end units
Full Loft Bed with Stairs	Kids, adults, anyone preferring step access	Safer entry and exit than a vertical ladder; stair drawers add bonus storage
Low / Junior Full Loft Bed	Low-ceiling rooms, younger children	Platform sits 40–55 in. (102–140 cm) off the floor; fits rooms under 8 ft.
All-in-One Full Loft Bed	Maximum room efficiency	Combines sleeping, storage, desk, and stairs in one integrated unit

Desk + Storage Tip: Many of our full loft beds with stairs include drawers built into each step — giving you 3–4 extra storage compartments at no additional floor footprint. Models with a built-in desk beneath the loft eliminate the need for a separate desk entirely, freeing up floor space for a chair or dresser.

Ceiling Height & Room Requirements

Before purchasing any full loft bed, measure your ceiling height and compare it to the bed's overall height plus the required clearance above the mattress. The CPSC recommends a minimum of 30 to 36 inches (76 to 91 cm) of clearance between the top of the upper mattress and the ceiling so the sleeper can sit up safely.

Loft Type	Typical Platform Height	Min. Ceiling Height Needed
Low / Junior Loft	~40–55 in. (102–140 cm)	7 ft. / 84 in. (213 cm) or more
High Loft (standard)	~62–70 in. (157–178 cm)	8 ft. / 96 in. (244 cm) recommended

How to measure: Add the mattress thickness (typically 8–12 in. / 20–30 cm) to the platform height, then add at least 30 in. (76 cm) for clearance. That total needs to be less than your ceiling height. When in doubt, choose a low loft model.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size mattress fits a full size loft bed?

A full size loft bed takes a standard full size (also called double) mattress: 54 inches wide by 75 inches long (137 cm × 190 cm). Most manufacturers recommend a mattress between 8 and 12 inches (20–30 cm) thick to maintain proper guardrail clearance above the sleeping surface. Confirm the maximum mattress depth listed on the product page before ordering a thicker hybrid or pillow-top mattress.

How much ceiling height do you need for a full size loft bed?

For a standard high loft bed, an 8-foot (96 in. / 244 cm) ceiling is the typical minimum. You need at least 30–36 inches (76–91 cm) of clearance above the top of the mattress so the occupant can sit up comfortably. If your room has a ceiling lower than 8 feet, a low loft or junior loft model — with a platform height of 40–55 inches (102–140 cm) — is a better fit. Always check the specific height listed in the product specs before purchasing.

Is a full size loft bed good for adults?

Yes. A full loft bed works well for adults in small apartments, studio spaces, or guest rooms where floor space is at a premium. Look for models with a weight capacity of at least 400 lbs (181 kg) per platform and staircase access rather than a vertical ladder for easier, safer entry and exit. The 54-inch width accommodates a single adult comfortably; for two adults sharing, a queen loft bed is the better option.

What can you put under a full size loft bed?

The space under a full loft bed is wide enough to combine multiple uses side by side. Common setups include: a full-width desk and desk chair for a home study area; a dresser and bookcase for clothing and book storage; a small sofa or bean bag chair for a lounge corner; or modular storage bins and shelving units. The 54-inch width gives you more flexibility than a twin loft, making it practical to place both a desk and a small chest of drawers beneath the same frame.

How much weight can a full loft bed hold?

Weight capacity varies by model and material. Most solid wood full loft beds in our collection are rated for 400–800 lbs (181–363 kg) per sleeping surface. That figure covers the sleeper and the mattress (which can weigh 60–100 lbs / 27–45 kg on its own). Always verify the weight limit in the product specifications for your chosen model, and never exceed the manufacturer's rated capacity.

What is the difference between a full loft bed and a bunk bed?

A full loft bed has one sleeping surface elevated on a raised frame, leaving the space underneath open for a desk, storage, or seating. A bunk bed stacks two sleeping surfaces — one on top of the other. If only one person needs to sleep in the room and you want to maximize functional floor space, a full size loft bed is typically the better choice. If you need two sleeping surfaces in the same footprint, a bunk bed is the solution.
