(...) Loft-beds are also useful for providing large amounts of storage space. Not a lot of talent is required to build them, just make sure they are sturdy! But lofts do require a tolerant attitude from anyone involved. When we lived in an apartment (...) (26 years ago, 28-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I've been considering doing this with my queen bed, but my ceiling is only 8' :( How much clearance is needed over the bed? Can the boxsprings be jettisoned if you have a board underneath the mattresS? Sarah (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.storage)

(...) The answer to both questions is: depends on your preferences. I had a loft with only enough room to roll over (and sometimes I hit my elbow on the ceiling in mid-roll). If you've got a plywood board on the frame(1), boxspring is not required (...) (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.storage)
