Maximise your floor space without compromising on comfort with high sleeper and sofa bed collection. Designed for the modern UK home, these loft beds do more than just provide a place to sleep; they create a versatile "living zone" right in the heart of the bedroom.
By elevating the sleeping platform, you unlock the area beneath for a comfortable sofa that doubles as a guest bed. Whether it’s a dedicated spot for gaming and relaxing during the day or a convenient solution for weekend sleepovers, our high sleepers with futons are the perfect multifunctional focal point for kids and teenagers.
Why Choose a High Sleeper Loft Bed with a Futon?
- The Instant Guest Solution: No more wrestling with air mattresses. The integrated futon pulls out in seconds, providing a comfortable sleeping space for friends or siblings.
- A Private Lounge: For older children and teens, having a sofa under their bed offers a sense of independence—a private retreat to read, socialise, or relax away from the rest of the house.
- Vertical Efficiency: Ideal for smaller rooms, this setup combines a bed, a sofa, and often additional shelving into a single, compact footprint.
- British-Inspired Design: Our frames are crafted from premium wood and metal, ensuring a robust build that withstands the rigours of childhood while looking modern and sleek.
Buying Guide: Selecting the Right High Sleeper Loft Bed with a Futon
Measure Twice, Buy Once
Before ordering, ensure you have the correct ceiling height. We recommend at least 60cm of clearance between the mattress and the ceiling. Additionally, check the floor space to ensure the futon can fully extend without being blocked by other furniture or the door.
The 15cm Mattress Rule
Safety is our absolute priority. For the top bunk, we strictly recommend a slim mattress (maximum 15cm depth). This ensures the safety guardrails remain effective and comply with UK safety standards.
Frame Durability
High sleepers with sofa beds are often used as social hubs. Our frames are built to be stable and secure, using heavy-duty fixings to prevent swaying, making them a long-term investment for your child’s school years and beyond.
FAQs for High Sleeper Loft Bed with a Futon
How much space is needed to pull out the futon?
When converted into a bed, the futon extends outwards. You will typically need around 2 metres of clear space from the back of the bed to the front to ensure the guest mattress can lie flat and be easily accessed.
Is the sofa bed comfortable for regular use?
Our integrated futons are perfect for lounging and occasional guest use. While the top bunk is the primary permanent bed, the sofa offers a supportive and cosy spot for sleepovers.
Does the sofa bed come with the mattress and cushions?
In most of our "all-in-one" sets, the futon mattress is included as part of the package. Please check the individual product details for available colour options and specific inclusions.
Can the ladder and sofa be swapped to the other side?
Many of our models feature a reversible layout, allowing you to choose which end the ladder and sofa sit on during assembly. This is ideal for adapting the bed to the specific layout of your room.
How do I keep the guest bed clean?
Most of our futon covers are made from durable, easy-clean fabrics. For long-term freshness, we recommend a light vacuuming of the sofa cushions and using a mattress protector when the futon is being used as a guest bed.
Can I replace the futon mattress separately?
Yes! One of the benefits of our high sleeper designs is that the futon mattress is usually a standalone component. If it becomes worn after years of use, or if you simply fancy a change of colour to refresh the room's decor, you can easily replace the futon cushion without needing to buy a whole new bed frame.
How can I make the sofa bed last longer?
To ensure the longest possible lifespan for your sofa bed, we recommend:
- Rotate the cushions: If your model allows, flip or rotate the cushions periodically to ensure even wear.
- Plump it up: Just like a living room sofa, give the futon a quick "plump" after a sleepover to redistribute the internal fibres.
- Use a Protector: When using the futon as a guest bed, a single-sized mattress protector will keep the fabric fresh and prevent spills from reaching the internal foam.
