Standard Loft Bed Sizes

Loft beds are all about making the most of your room, and size plays a big role! 

Most commonly, you’ll find loft beds in twin or full sizes. These two options offer plenty of sleeping space while still leaving room underneath for storage, playing, or lounging.

Maxtrix Unique Loft Beds

At Maxtrix, we’re all about helping families solve their bedroom battles. That’s why we’ve taken loft beds beyond the standard twin and full sizes. If those options don’t suit your space, we also offer twin XL, queen, and even double corner loft bed setups to help you find the right fit for your family.

5 Loft Bed Sizes

With so many sizes, how do you choose the right loft bed frame? Let’s break down the different sizes so you can find the best fit for your family, space, and way you use the room.

Twin Loft Beds

A twin-size loft bed is one of the most common choices for kids’ rooms. It fits a standard twin mattress, measuring about 39" wide by 75" long.

Due to its smaller footprint, a twin loft bed frame is a smart pick for shared rooms, bedrooms with limited floor space, or younger children who don’t need a larger sleep surface quite yet. It gives kids a safe, comfortable place to sleep while opening up valuable floor space underneath.

Full Loft Beds

A full loft bed frame fits a standard full mattress, which measures about 54" wide by 75" long. That extra width gives older kids, tweens, and teens more room to stretch out, roll over, and settle in comfortably.

Since full-size loft beds are wider, they can also create a generous space underneath for a desk, dresser, or all-in-one storage setup.

Twin XL Loft Beds

What’s the difference between a twin and twin XL loft bed frame? It’s simple: extra length!

A twin XL mattress measures 39" wide by 80" long, giving sleepers 5 extra inches of legroom compared to a standard twin. For growing kids and tall teens, that extra length can be a total game-changer.

For parents tired of replacing furniture after every inevitable growth spurt, a twin XL loft is a smart, long-term investment. Kids are less likely to grow out of their beds, and can still enjoy all the benefits of open underbed space.

Queen Loft Bed

Truly fit for royalty, queen loft bed frames are the largest option we offer. While they take up the most space, they also come with big benefits if your room can fit one.

A standard queen mattress measures 60" wide by 80" long, making it a great setup for teens and adults. Plus, the larger the bed, the larger the underbed space. Use that extra room for a world of storage, a spacious lounge area, or a multi-use space with storage, a desk, and seating.

Double Loft Beds

Struggling with a shared space or need to be guest-ready? Try a double corner loft bed!

Exclusive to Maxtrix, this unique bed frame combines two loft beds into one corner configuration. Available in twin, twin XL, twin/full, or twin XL/queen setups, it’s a flexible solution that looks cool and delivers on space, comfort, and everyday use. What’s not to love?

Loft Bed Height

Now that we’ve covered size, let’s talk height. Maxtrix offers four loft height options, available in a range of sizes.

Bed height and ceiling height are essential to creating a safe, comfortable sleep setup. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends at least 30 inches of clearance between the top of the mattress and the ceiling. For extra guidance, check out our size guide.

Low Loft Beds

Low loft beds are often best for younger kids ages 6 and up. They keep the sleep surface closer to the floor, making climbing in and out feel easier.

Our low loft bed frame stands 50.75” tall, providing safe access for kids and extra peace of mind for parents.

Even with a lower setup, families still gain helpful space underneath. A low loft can fit a small dresser, a short bookcase, or a cozy reading area. Not sure what to add below? Our preconfigured loft bed with storage makes it easy, no guesswork required.

Mid Loft Beds

Mid loft bed frames take things up a notch at 61.5” tall. They’re a great fit for shorter ceilings and late-elementary to middle-school-age kids.

The added height creates more usable space underneath. Add a wide dresser, a long bookcase, or a slide-out desk to make the most of the space below. The perfect in-between of height and function, families love our mid loft beds with storage for good reason.

High Loft Beds

Next up: meet our high-loft beds. Ideal for ceilings at least 8 feet tall, they give busy teens plenty of underbed space for studying, storage, and hanging out.

Create the ultimate homework setup with a built-in desk. Display books, treasures, and trophies on a tall bookcase, then tuck extra clothes, gear, and everyday clutter into a dresser. When friends come over, the tall underbed space is perfect for lounging. 

Uber High Loft Beds

Finally, the tallest of the bunch. Standing at an impressive 88.25” tall, our Uber High Loft Bed is an exclusive design to Maxtrix. With a minimum ceiling height of 10 feet, there's underbed space like never before. Create an at-home office, world of storage, or even your very own art studio!

Now that you know the four height options, how do you pick? The right height depends on your child’s age, your ceiling height, and how you plan to use the space underneath.

Safety and Quality

A Maxtrix loft is unlike any other. Made from premium hardwoods like maple, aspen, and birch, our heavy-duty loft beds deliver unmatched strength and durability. With an 800 lb weight capacity, you can count on your setup to last through years of big kid energy and growth spurts.

When paired with a 5”–8” low-profile mattress, our industry-leading 16” guardrails help keep kids safe in bed all night long. Even better, our beds are GREENGUARD Gold Certified, meaning they’re tested for over 1,000 VOCs and contribute to cleaner indoor air for your family.

With premium safety and strength, there’s no better option for parents who want the very best!

Planning for Long-Term Flexibility

Kids grow fast, and their rooms need to keep up. That’s why it helps to choose a space-saving loft bed that can adapt as your family’s needs change.

The right setup can support your child through new routines, room layouts, and sleep needs, so you’re not starting over every time life changes. With the Maxtrix Method, families can customize now and reconfigure later. Add a desk, swap in a dresser, or combine both to create a setup that works for today.

As your child grows, the same system can keep working in new ways. Your Maxtrix loft bed can be rebuilt into a bunk bed, a standalone bed, or even a corner loft bed. When it’s time to reconfigure, reach out to our Custom Design Team, and we’ll guide you every step of the way.

The right fit depends on your child’s age, ceiling height, room size, and how you plan to use the space underneath. With four height options and reconfigurable designs, Maxtrix loft beds can adapt as your family grows for a long-term investment.
