A Low Loft in Solid Wood

The Ivara loft bed is the twin size version of this low frame, built for a room that needs the floor back without anyone climbing to bed. A solid rubberwood frame carries wood slats for a twin mattress with no box spring, purchased separately. Guardrails enclose every side of the deck at a height that clears the mattress top, and a ladder of wide flat rungs is built into one end of the frame rather than hooked over the rail. Beneath the deck, the span stays clear post to post at just under two and a half feet, room enough for bins, a bookcase, floor cushions or a low dresser. Nothing is built in below, so what goes there changes as the room does.

FEATURES

• Solid Rubberwood Frame carries the whole structure in hardwood rather than tube steel or panel board, holding square through years of daily use
• Low Deck Height lifts the sleeping surface just under two and a half feet, close enough to make the bed while standing and to sit up without ducking
• Full-Length Guardrails enclose every side of the deck above the mattress top, closing in the sleeping surface without walling off the room
• Built-In Wide-Rung Ladder climbs one end of the frame on flat rungs that take a whole foot, fixed into the structure rather than hooked over a rail
• Wood Slat Foundation spans the frame to hold a twin mattress flat with no box spring above or below it
• Open Span Underneath leaves the floor beneath the deck clear post to post, taking storage bins, a bookcase, floor cushions or a low dresser as the room changes
• Kids' Room Footprint clears the floor of a small bedroom, shared room or guest room while keeping the bed within easy reach

Care Instructions

• Dust the frame with a dry cloth, following the grain rather than working across it
• Wipe finished surfaces with a soft damp cloth and dry immediately so water does not sit on the finish
• Avoid abrasive powders, scouring pads, bleach and solvent-based cleaners on any wood surface
• Keep the frame away from radiators, heat vents and long hours of direct sunlight, which can dry or fade the wood
• Check the slats every few months to make sure none has shifted out of position
• Retighten every frame bolt after the first two weeks of use, then check them every few months
• Keep the ladder rungs clear of clothing and bedding draped over them
• Lift the frame clear of the floor when repositioning rather than dragging it
