Anyone who has ever lived in a small space knows one thing to be true: Maximizing vertical space is a must. This statement is also true when talking about outfitting a kids’ room. From essentials like clothing and bedding to toys, toys, and more toys, your kids’ room holds a lot, which means being smart with your layout is key. For many, this means investing in things like shelving, smart organizing solutions, and closet organizers. However, there’s one place that parents can sometimes overlook, and that’s the bed.

If you’re dealing with a particularly small room (or simply are someone who likes to maximize space) there’s a specific type of bed that should be on your radar: The loft bed. Beloved by parents and kids, loft beds lift your child’s bed off the ground, leaving room beneath for a play area, a desk, or storage, essentially doubling the rooms’ usable square footage — and we all know how precious each foot is. Looking to invest in a loft bed? We did the hard work for you and rounded up 10 of the best kids’ loft beds your kid will love almost as much as you do.

The best part? It stands at about 4’2” tall, at least a foot shorter than a typical loft bed, making it the perfect first bunk bed that allows for easy goodnight kisses and an increased sense of security.
