In an attempt to optimize floor space, an enterprising Redditor with user name ‘Virian’ has constructed a uniquely functional, yet playful hanging loft bed for his son. While the wooden framework of the bed is secured to the wall by means of lag bolts, it derives additional support from a sturdy chain hooked onto one of its corners. An 800 lbs-rated proof coil chain, suspended via an eye-bolt drilled into the ceiling joist and then clamped to one end of the wood skeleton, keeps the bed afloat. Stained 1x10s, attached to the outer edges of the bed using screws and finishing nails, create a kind of raised casing required to keep the mattress in place.
Caulking seals the gaps between the joints, while the bottom of the bed is coated with white paint to give the whole thing a clean and polished finish.
