Bed Lofting You also are allowed to loft your bed, but we ask that you not attempt to loft the bed yourself. Lofting the bed requires specific tools and is a two person job. Additionally, if you request your bed to be put on the “high” height, we highly recommend that you buy a bed rail. These can easily be found online. If you are interested in having your bed lofted, we will be happy to accommodate your request. There are three options available and we have provided pictures to show you the different heights:
