Full metal loft beds are available in different heights, configurations and finishes. Below you will find a few of the most popular specimens made by reputable manufacturers. Full review for each of these beds is just a click away.
Here we have a couple of bare-bones, high, full size metal loft beds. They go up to 72 inches or thereabouts and require at the very least an 8 foot ceiling. 9 would be better. There is tons of space under the bed in return, though, to be used at your discretion.
DHP’s Tommy is the more affordable (and more modest) option. The Monarch Hill Haven loft is part of the Little Seeds brand by Dorel Home. So, basically the same company. The Haven is more of a high-end product and that reflects in its price, but the majority of buyers seem to think that its robust build combined with the classy appearance is worth the spend.
Full Size Metal Loft Beds With Desk
Two workstation lofts with full-length desks incorporated into the bed frame here. The award-winning Z-Bedroom black metal loft bed looks like the ultimate gaming lair. It has that hi-tech, futuristic vibe about it. The Maxwell bed appears a bit plain in comparison, but is not any less functional. It comes with two corner shelves that can be used to store study supplies or some other accessories.
Low Height Full Metal Loft Beds
Moving on to lower heights. DHP’s Jett Junior is the lower cousin of the Tommy full metal loft bed featured above. All circular steel tubes, rounded corners, simple but elegant frame, it’s the same design language.
The Alistair low loft is geared towards the gaming crowd. The attached led-brimmed desk is a clear letter of intent. The 350 lbs weight capacity also suggests the bed is aimed more at the tweens and teens and young adults. With that said, parents have been known to use beds of similar height to transition their 3 or 4-year-olds to their first big girl/boy bed.
Full size metal loft beds come with several advantages.
Furniture made of steel is known for its strength and durability. It can support a significant amount of weight and can take a lot of wear and tear. This latter part is not insignificant, considering that loft bed users are usually younger persons with excess energy to spend. In that vein, metal is also hard to break. It will bend and warp, but you’ll have a tough time trying to break a post or a rail made of quality steel. Which is pretty important when it comes to elevated beds.
Another thing to consider is the aesthetics. Loft beds made of metal tubes have a sleek, contemporary look that complements modern interior designs. Also, metal can easily be shaped into curves, and every now and then this results in a product that is visually pleasing as well as functional.
Last, but not the least, metal full loft beds are usually more affordable than their wooden counterparts, which makes them a a budget-friendly option.
