a-anon you live in a bunk bed?
Yeah! Wanna see my ant farm?
whats wrong with ant farms?
Anon sounds like a cool guy.
With the price of house square footage that's becoming less of an argument. But the ladder is always gonna be a problem.
Come on anon, a houses structure should be able to take human being having sex.
Support, mostly.
this
If it's gonna be king sized you'll need at least one beam going through the middle, probably more.
>Why shouldn't I
Because you're an adult that doesn't live in a dorm and might want to frick in one?
>...
Sorry, OP. I guess that doesn't apply.
>one beam going through the middle
as depicted
I'm not OP but the type of girls that I'm into and that I've been with so far would all love this kinda shit. Also the fact that I made that myself would get their pussies wet fast.
>Also the fact that I made that myself would get their pussies wet fast.
this board is virgin heaven.
browsing PrepHole is synonymous with vegana repellent
it's not about the ability to pull
or how much they weigh
it's about having it creak and sway beneath you
very likely in resonance seeing as all the dimensions are roughly man-sized
pulling screws straight through that shitty pine
it it collapsing beneath you
very likely impaling the mattress and your paramour
>but the type of girls that I'm into and that I've been with so far would all love this kinda shit
8 year olds, dude.
>the type of girls that I'm into
Ok, but what about the types of girls who are into you?
I have one and I like it.
Pros:
> Being elevated makes it warmer in winter
> lot of space under it
> super confy
> you can leave the bed messy and your bedroom will look fine
Cons:
> It's hotter in summer. Usually we sleep on the sofa one week per year in August.
> Sex. The problem is not that it's unstable (eve if you cannot really go full speed), but if you ancor it to the wall you will end up pounding your home. The only solution was to keep it 5 cm from the wall.
> changing the sheets is not practical
> no night table (we mounted a shelf)
> Not the best if you are planning to have a baby soon.
like any other fuking king size bed?
One reason not to do it is that it's very important to separate, as best as possible, your working, playing and sleeping areas.
> Sex.
It's already unbearable for me the noise from a normal bed banging on the wall and screeching.
The only exception is once I had sex on a loft bed that didn't make noise at all: it was all metal frame and bolted on 3 sides of the wall (a very narrow room).
neat fort
for a child's room
I would literally look at any person who said this deeply on their eyes and ask,
>Oh, how many paid-off houses do you have again?
Anyone who only criticizes others rarely has anything of worth built of their own.
Why not? They"re an old dorm standby for many decades.
Picrel won't be cheap or easy to take down when you move. I'd use scaffolding components/staging hardware and steel, mostly bolted for easy future disassembly which that heavy bulky wooden thing does not suit. The bed frame can be any conventional steel style.
Wood devours a surprising amount of room space. For example the heavy workbench style benches in picrel are better replaced with rolling carts on decent sized casters for easy cleaning, rearrangement and eventually moving. Thinking ahead avoids suffering.
Not op but could you use scaffolding style tubing to build it and clad it with pine for the effect? How would one bore a scaffolding tube width hole through a 5ft piece of pine? I doubt they make drills long enough would a professional lathe even be able to bore it out?
>Or would you just join 1ft lengths that sounds like a more reasonable idea
Because:
i. You're no longer 12 years old
ii. You do not live in a tropical or mountain paradise with glass walls and million dollar views.
>ii. You do not live in a tropical or mountain paradise with glass walls and million dollar views.
I do
would be better if the ceiling wasn't so close right above you
Even when designed/built properly to minimize footprint and not wobble, they still suck due to the access being restricted to a single point, that usually involves someone being crawled over and having to make room for the transition from crawling to climbing and vice versa.
Also with typical ceiling heights in temperate climates they're usually either hot AF or get blasted directly by AC.
Add: pain in the ass to make up with sheets/ blankets you are on top of, pain in the ass to flup/ rotate mattress, pain in the ass when you are sick, pain in the ass when you have to pee in the middle of the night or in any GTFO emergency like a fire or earthquake.
t. old girlfriend had one
I have the exact setup only my bottom part is huge and the top part is huge, both have multiple rooms, and there’s enough room to stand whether I’m on top or on the bottom, and instead of a ladder i have a full on stairway. It’s also waterproofed and opens directly outside onto my property. Also has water, gas, and electric going to it. Oh and I can park my car in it too
So much room for activities!
A king size loft bed sounds kind of interesting but tough to stop from swaying my condo is only around 1k square feet so saving room is always a good thing
Also the amount of morons trying to shit on someone for an idea like this are peak sad neet or just really angry people who have never properly interacted with another human
Okay, now ask your gf if it's okay
Y-you do have a gf, right, anon? Right??
Pros:
>More floor space
>Good sound absorption
>Lot easier to clean under the bed
Cons:
>CREAAKKK CREAKKK CREAKKKK
>Only one way to get in
>Possibility of banging head on ceiling if you frick on the bed (not an issue for anons here)
>Fricking nightmare to move
>Changing the sheets or making the bed just got 20x harder
>Earthquake risk
Honestly it's kind of a flex but it's just like... why bro lol, a normal bedframe is fine. The only possible use I could see is if you're in a studio apartment but why the frick would you have a king bed in a studio lol
>why the frick would you have a king bed in a studio lol
Every man a king-sized bed, but no one wears a crown.
>but why the frick would you have a king bed in a studio lol
Manlet confirmed
>you must waste as much floor space as possible in a useless proof of """man"""hood
NTA but he might mean that you don't get just how inadequate smaller beds can be for someone who isn't short, especially if you toss and turn or especially especially if you have another human being in the bed with you
>not an issue for anons here
Just install a Murphy bed.
Make sure to securely fasten it to the wall.
I never really understood what the frick the point of a murphy bed is, because you are taking up room against the wall but you can't really put a whole lot in front of it since every night you are going to deploy the bed so you haven't really saved any room at all or the most part
at least with OPs setup you make use of the room below but you would need much thicker posts or else that thing is going to sway or bolt it to the wall
For vr obviously
You put a Murphy desk on the opposite wall.
wha
Then put a Murphy 2 piece bathroom on the north wall and a Murphy kitchenette on the south wall.
Why do houses even need more than one room?
Why do houses need
Lofted beds are great in college and for kids. But think for a moment how much of a pain in the ass changing seats will become for a long sized bed. Easier with a xl double or whatever they use in colleges.
They're only useful In studio apartments because when cook shit the smell seeps into the bed. When it's up it is reduced. I also like having the mental barrier of separating "sleep mode" from living mode but then again I don't live in a studio anymore and haven't for over a decade. 1 bedroom or bust at this point.
a murphy bed is for guest bedrooms, so you don't ALWAYS have to use it as a guest bedroom, only when you have guests.
You move a few things into the garage for the weekend, pop down the bed, and voila.
have fun dying trying to put a fitted sheet on that bastard
honestly I would assume a normal ass adult could make that without needing the huge guardrails just a platform or rails that can fold then you just need a small step stool and could probably get sheets on there real easy with the access
but honestly the only reason to bother with something like this would be if you lived in a 500sqft area and absolutely needed the room
Put the bed underneath the office instead.
At least a Murphy bed wouldn't wiener block you
Just put the bed down before going out
I had a loft bed in my dorm in college. I had to install a pad on the ceiling because my roommate's overly loud alarm kept waking me up violently. I'd sit up like the undertaker out of a dead sleep and hit my head on the ceiling. had a bloody scalp a few times
you'd be better off having a normal bed and then just making your desk/workspace collapsible. fricking with your bed and whatever novelty gimmick it has gets annoying after about a week. a desk that folds up out of your way would be a lot easier to make, a lot cheaper, and wouldn't incur the chance of dying in your sleep
I feel like the kids in this thread who have takes like this have never, ever, built anything with their hands in their life aside from maybe a shitty birdhouse or somesuch that made them give up long ago and resent anyone else who can make things
If I was a woman I'd shave my hair and wear a hijab. Just seems way more efficient to me and I feel like that would ward off rapists better.
Could do what I have done op. Made my own bed frame tailored to my height. Get 2ft of storage underneath. Covered the thing with fabric.
>take off slippers
>climb up

etc
so just make sure you aren't stupid and it's a nice setup? Half that gets solved by having a little spot next to your bed for your phone to rest on and the other by knowing you are going to bed and adjusting your curtains accordingly
I also don't get the crawling out of sheets on all fours, do you do that now? even if you have a small ceiling you would just swing your legs off the side of the bed and slide off
Don't be stupid
Really smart folks forget things all the time and try getting all snug as a bug in a rug on a bed that is 8ft high and then just "swing your legs off the side and slide off". You will unintentionally murder yourself to death
Install a grip bar in the ceiling off to the side that you can hold onto when lowering yourself, or just put an impact absorbing mat down
Sure, you could do that. Or you could just have your bed be at a normal height so you don't have to install gymnastics equipment in your bedroom to help you get out of bed safely.
>Why shouldn't I just make a king size loft bed
Because people will lose whatever respect they might currently have for you. Bunk beds are for children, boats, barracks, and college dorms. And that's it.
Imagine a grown adult having to climb a ladder to get into bed. It's absurd.
What if he builds stairs instead?
I have never seen so many people react to a thread in such a childish manner, as though the very essence of this specific board isn't doing things yourself in a way you want it done, if the dude knows what he wants and is confident enough to build it why would you react as though you were some prostitute coming over to his place to suck his wiener?
But enough about my A-frame house.
when it comes with beds, I just side with Asian countries, they have this figured out already.
if you live in the west, I would highly recommend a frame like in picrel which solves a few women problems.
pros
>all the bedding is stored away every morning and brought out in the evenings so it stays cleaner
>frame folds up and is stored away, leaving maximum space
>enforces anti-clutter practices, you cannot sleep until you finish daily activities
>better temperature control
>sex is very quiet
cons
>western women simply do not understand
>you sleep in a giant dog bed
>incompatible with being fat and lazy
>most western houses have no means of storing away the bedding
>elevated risk of snakes in your bed
Pretty sure the murphy bed was the western and superior version to rolling out a fricking mat to sleep on, which really only works for asian midgets anyway
yeah but it has this weird stigma in the US thanks to like the Simpsons and other shows.
also they are not quite the same unless you have a room specifically built for one so it is embedded into the wall instead of sticking out like a giant piece of weird cabinetry.
Either weird cabinetry or you put your big ass futon somewhere, I would go with the cabinetry I think, in favor of a more comfortable sleep
And who cares about stigma, stigma balls homie look at all the fricking teenagers who are coming out of the wordwork to pretend they are masculine badasses yet scared of an anon who wants something their way
well my bed fits entirely in a 60cm cube, so it fits perfectly inside a cabinet in my closet I built. I actually have multiple bed sets stacked up in the cabinet which I can join together or provide for guests, but I am heavily introverted so I generally use them in rotation.
I do not use a wood frame and instead just have tatami flooring in the sleeping room. but If I had to go that route, i would simply fold it up and it would have little wheels so I can roll it under the couch in the other room. though in that scenario I would be living in just one room likely
>yeah but it has this weird stigma in the US thanks to like the Simpsons and other shows.
Of all the alternative sleeping arrangements that the simpsons have callously made taboo, I don't remember the one about the murphy bed.
Anytime you see them featured they are always in the most run down dingy apartments or motel studios etc

>if you should die before you wake
>>sex is very quiet
>cons
women simply do not understand
Not having sex is indeed very quiet
Gross. If you’re hittin a girl doggy style, you will be on your knees. You need to think about height for such activities when choosing a bed.
Just get a bigger girl. 😉
You fricking morons in here talk about making choices based on fricking prostitutes like tryhards make choices over in /k/ for vehicles or home defense like they live in an action movie
Shut the frick up you aren't banging no one, if you did you would know you can frick a prostitute anywhere
>>all the bedding is stored away every morning and brought out in the evenings so it stays cleaner
thats not true
>Snakes
Yeah... right... snakes.
That said I do love not having a frickhuge bed taking up space.
Raised access flooring.
Don't worry, those are all about proper air flow.
>Yeah... right... snakes.
well any creatures, but snakes are like attracted to heat i think so would be the biggest problem
i guess no problem if you live in the middle of a city or something where your only inhabitants are rats and pigeons
>incompatible with being fat and lazy
False, many a gainer's goal is to be bound to one of these.
I have an Ikea Kura bed because it's a kid's bed therefore cheaper. Nice pine material. The bottom is a bit small but fits an Ikea Kallax perfectly. I planned for it to be a reading nook but oldgays can never leave PrepHole so I just sit in the corner and browse/shitpost. Some of those garden fairy lanterns make the place pretty comfy.
This is the area with lights on.
Hope you're not a big guy.
please post body
Did that for my kids. Plan to do it for myself if I ever move out of my trailer and have actually tall ceilings.
Why not put the desk on top and the bed on the bottom
If storage is what you're after flip it around. Storage up top, bed on the bottom. You could even drape some sort of curtain around the edges to hide away the junk up there
>king sized loft bed
Big enough for this I'd imagine
>Maybe if I cram some more useless children's toys into my room I will feel complete...
It isn't to feel complete, moron, it's to get kids hype so they use their moms credit cart to pay money to jerk off to her feet
Nobody is jerking off to this shaved hobbit foot.
That's a man.
Well we've pretty much figured out all the reasons why putting the bed up in the air is a bad idea, but what if we put the bed really low and found a way to use the space above it? Have a king sized cubby you crawl into with a platform above it for activities.
I wouldn't be able to breathe. I'm fine being constrained to the sides because of autism but I need air above me.
I have a metal full size loft bed. I love how much space it saves me and makes my room look clean. I don't talk to women so no issues with that, but there really is no way impressing a woman when you gotta climb up into bed.
however, if you don't mind being single, it is a great investment.
pics
i built my loft bed when i was 13 yo together with my dad, according to my own rough design on which my dad filled in the details and technical stuff
it had a desk, cupboards and a couch underneath. it was made from recycled flooring and stood the test of time untill i wanted a king-size.
i painted it metallic grey and painted on rusty accents as an hommage to Water World and Max Max.

My fren did something like this and the real problem is climbing in and out of bed. i.e., tired, hangover, sick, wahmen, piss-time, water, brief naps, sitting, etc.
>the real problem is climbing in and out of bed.
It's a good way to see how "old" you are. Little kids enjoy all that climbing, bigger kids not so much, older adults no fricking way. And some bunk beds have vertical ladders which is fine to a kid, but that alone is a lot to ask of an adult. I paint houses and climb ladders all day every day, but they are at the usual angle, where gravity supports you, but when I have to go up a vertical ladder my arms get tired of having to pull me toward the ladder.
If you can't handle getting in and out of bed even a little bit of a climb or stairs depending on what you put in it, then you might as well just be too old and unfit so you should drop dead
