While not every tiny home needs a sleeping loft, they’re an awesome way to give you more room in your tiny house. When designing a tiny house with double sleeping lofts, there are several things worth considering that will help you set your lofts up for maximum space and comfort.

Hi, I’m Ryan

As a fan of slow living, one thing I refuse to sacrifice is a quality night’s sleep. I’ve set my own tiny house up with two sleeping lofts that are both extremely cozy!

Design Considerations For A Tiny House With Two Sleeping Lofts

There are so many effective ways to make room for two full sleeping lofts in your tiny house. Tiny homes come in a myriad of different designs, and there are pros and cons to each design option out there—especially when it comes to lofting a bed.

When making design choices for your tiny house, consider what purpose your double sleeping lofts are going to fill. Will you be using these lofts for your kids to sleep and play? Will the lofts be used as designated guest spaces? Will this be where you sleep each night?

Ask yourself what reasons you have for adding two separate sleeping spaces and let that inform your design choices. Adding a sleeping loft is truly one of my favorite ways to make the most of the space in a tiny home.

No matter what reasons you have for expanding your sleeping space in your tiny home, always prioritize comfort and the potential for a good night’s sleep. Design a space that’s functional but remember it’s where you’ll spend a lot of your time, so it should feel as cozy as possible.

Tiny House With Two Double Lofts Across From Each Other

The most common route for designing two sleeping spaces in a tiny house is to create two separate sleeping lofts across from one another at the front and back of your trailer. With this design choice, your lofts can function as two separate spaces.

It’s important to note that if you do add a sleeping loft to both the front and back of your trailer, you must ensure the lofts are of equal weight. Even weight distribution can truly make or break a tiny house. If you want a playroom or office lofted across from your main lofted bedroom, just make sure both sides are close in weight

Setting Up Your Two Lofts For A Cozy Night’s Sleep

Once you’ve found the perfect design for two lofts in your tiny home, you’ll want to consider how you’re going to set your lofts up to get a good night’s sleep.

There are several elements of your loft setup to consider other than the basic design. You’ll want to choose a mattress you love, decide how you want to frame your bed, and surround your loft with comforting items and a cozy, homey aesthetic.

Select The Ideal Mattress For Your Sleeping Lofts

Choosing the mattress for the double lofts in your tiny house is one of the most important choices in the process of building and designing your home. When selecting your mattress, you want to consider lots of different key elements like the comfortability, size, and the type of material the mattress is made from.

One piece of advice I give to people just starting out, is to consider your mattress dimensions first and foremost. Go ahead and pick out which mattress you’re going to use, so you can ensure the exact dimensions will work in your space.

I honestly haven’t found a better mattress than the Ecosa Sleep mattress to outfit the sleeping lofts in my tiny house. I love the way that it feels on my back and lets me sink into it for a long, peaceful sleep in my tiny house.

Choose A Bedframe For Your Tiny House Double Lofts

When it comes to framing the beds in your tiny home’s sleeping lofts, there are several routes you can choose to take. I have tons of friends who just like to lay their mattress directly onto the flooring of their tiny house sleeping loft.

This is fine option if you don’t want to spend the extra money on a bedframe, or just like the minimalist aesthetic of laying your bed on the ground. The only downside I’d caution against is that neglecting a bed frame on a sleeping loft can lead to more moisture in your tiny house, since humid air rises.

Another option for framing the mattresses in your sleeping lofts involves getting extra creative. Some ways to creatively frame your bed include placing your mattress on top of items like wooden pallets, cinder blocks, or plastic milk crates. A huge aspect to minimalism is finding unique ways to repurpose our stuff, so consider these creative bed frame options for your sleeping lofts.

There are also tons of gorgeous traditional bedframes you can use to lift your bed in your tiny house sleeping loft. While this option may be the most sturdy, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing, it can sometimes pose an extra challenge. Keep in mind that whatever you use as your bedframe will have to be carried up to your raised loft, so try not to go with something too heavy.

Spruce Up The Remaining Space Around Your Sleeping Lofts

The area that surrounds your lofts is certainly a space to have fun with. You can surround your bed with a short side table, line the back with a headboard or bookshelf, use the side walls for toy or office supply storage, or adorn the windows with plants and trinkets. The possibilities are endless here!

Inspirational Photos Of A Tiny House With Two Sleeping Lofts

Like I mentioned before, there are so many amazing ways to design a double loft tiny house in a way that accentuates your own personality and needs. Take a look through some of these photos to see if any of them inspire your DIY adventure.

What I love about these designs is that each double lofted setup is entirely unique. Some use stairs, some use a ladder. Some are outfitted with carpet flooring while others use hardwood. Several of the designs are created around an open concept ground floor between each loft, while others have the lofts directly across from each other.

There are so many ways to create your own tiny house with two sleeping lofts and you can choose one that really works for you and your lifestyle. With these design techniques, it’s easy to set your sleeping lofts up for maximum comfort.
