How Can I Loft My Bed?

Students are responsible for lofting their own beds. However, lofting the provided ADA compliant modular beds is a simple process requiring two people. Just follow the steps below.

  1. Remove the mattress
  2. Lift all four corners of the spring frame out of the headboard and footboard
  3. Raise the frame to the desired height (11 different options)
  4. Hook the frame on the brackets on each leg
  5. Make sure it’s secure
  6. Replace the mattress
  7. Enjoy the extra space!

What is a Modular Bed Frame?

The bed frames provided are modular, which will allow you to raise or lower your bed to various heights without a loft kit. Raising the height of your bed creates more floor space, which allow more room for things like futons and TV’s.

Can I Use Other Lofts/Risers?

Raised platform floors, bed risers, personally constructed lofts, or other physical space alterations are not allowed in any University-owned housing.
