The Microspace Design Bed Loft System

Queen Bed Loft
The MicroSpace DesignTM Queen Bed Loft is an innovative, modular bed loft system that maximizes usable space and under-loft headroom in your studio or micro apartment. Its innovative steel and wood frame design is both sturdy and (relatively) lightweight, and accommodates a Queen-Size Mattress. In a room with 10'-0" (3.0m) ceilings, a 6'-0" (1.9m) person can sit upright in bed and stand comfortably underneath the loft.
 
The Loft is designed to be installed in a corner of the room; It is a free-standing piece of furniture, however, up to six wood or sheet metal screws (provided) must be drilled into wall studs to provide lateral stability.
