When you live in a 12' x 10' room, every inch of space matters. Lofting your bed comes in handy when you want to maximize your limited space — but it does come with a few challenges.
Here are ten things that people with lofted beds know to be true.
1. Feeling like you're going to die every time your bed shakes
2. Not being able to comfortably watch Netflix in bed because you're afraid of your laptop falling off
3. Almost falling off of the ladder while trying to climb down
4. Doing parkour as a result of trying not to fall off of the ladder
5. Thinking through everything you need to turn off before climbing into bed
6. Hitting your head on the support rail while trying to get to whatever is under your bed
7. Creating a mini-earthquake every time you move to get comfortable
