Looking for Heavy Duty Loft Beds? Let's Explore the Best Wood

by William Dawson Writer

Loft beds are a common space-saving solution for studio apartments, college dorms, children's rooms, or any other area where space-saving is at the priority. If you are investing in a loft bed, good planning is essential. You might be trying to get this addition as inexpensive as possible, yet long-lasting and above all SAFE!


However, what is it that makes a loft bed sturdy? The durability of the loft bed is the key to safety and longevity. The stronger the material used, the more stress and weight it will be able to handle. So would you be okay with pine? Or what are the reasons for choosing hardwood?


Before we hop onto the best materials for heavy-duty loft beds, here is a piece of important information we would want to share. Note that: You need to check the materials and gain knowledge about their properties. For instance, pine and spruce are softer woods that most manufacturers use on the lower bunks and structures of loft bed models, but these don't hold up as long as solid woods, especially under stressful conditions. Other cheaper alternatives to avoid are particle wood frames.

 

What is The Best Material for Heavy-Duty Loft Beds?


Hardwood or solid wood is the most suitable material for a loft bed frame, which is also durable and expensive at the same time as compared to softwoods. Quality hardwoods for loft beds like American Poplar and Tulipwood provide the structural strength necessary to support the weight of large adults as well as rambunctious kids.


Besides the material, quality, construction and design also plays an important role. That is, you need to check whether the design and construction are optimized for sturdiness? Many a times the wood starts to crack or the structure is wobbly. So it is not only about choosing the best materials for loft beds, there are some considerations on the manufacturer's part. For instance, the design is taken care of and the loft bed is secured with dowels, heavy-duty architectural bolts, and hidden structural screws for maximum structural strength and stability. 

 

Are Solid Wood Loft Beds Safe?


Yes, totally safe. Solid wood loft beds don't give you that 'unsafe' vibe that you or your kids might face with elevated beds. That's because they are stable, don't easily move, come with safety rails, and can keep your sleep as peaceful as possible. With quality hardware used in the construction, you can be rest assured that your solid wood loft bed will remain solid and stable. 

 

However, we recommend you to go through the safety information whether you opt for a hardwood bunk bed or loft bed!
