Can you use this bed without the bottom full bed? Just using the top loft, and creating a play space underneath?

Yes! My kids love to build a fort below. We roll the bottom bed out (it's on wheels). Very happy with this purchase.

Yes! The bottom bed is totally independent and can be placed anywhere (it has wheels)

Yes! The bottom full size bed is a very nice, wooden frame that has wheels attached to it. It can be wheeled around or not used at all. The entire assembly is very well built!!!

yes. they are not connected. Full bed is on rollers ad can be rolled out and put anywhere.
1495792
Yes you can but I think you can purchase bed made just for this and it turns out cheaper.

Yes, just don't build the bottom bed. We are saving the full bed frame for when our son is older and doesn't want to sleep up top anymore.

I think you can since it holds like 600 lbs or something like that. It was tall enough and the website said it isn't needed so I didn't. It's really sturdy without it and the height of a regular bed without one. Using one won't hurt it.

I don't believe that would work, Lori. Because of the way the ends curve, even if it were possible, I don't think it would look right. It is a beautiful bed. I love mine.

I actually suggest doing that. We have had this bed for 5 years. After about 2 years the supports that came with it snapped. They were thin and I worried about them breaking to begin with . I wish we had added our own 2X4's from the get go.

You would have to disassemble the entire bed. I think with the right tools, there would not be a problem. I really like the bed and it's sturdiness.

Yes, it's actually better to use the bed without the tent because the tent is a hazard. I'd even recommend saving $20 by purchasing the same bed without the tent. The tent is not safe so we've never even used it.

You have a 10-1/4" opening height under the bottom bed and you can assemble without the latters. Might be tight for a trundle.

I guess you could since it comes in pieces and you put it all together. You just wouldn't set the bed on top.

We did for the first year and then got rid of it. If you're considering buying this bed I would not recommend it. It was extremely difficult to put together. Some of the "wood" (partical board) broke while putting it together. We've had it 3 years and it's deteriorating.

You could fit a full mattress on the end. You might be able to fit a queen mattress, but it would be a tight squeeze. My son used a twin mattress on the end and there was lots of room to spare.

Yes, we also have a twin bed width underneath with a 4 cube storage, they fit neatly side by side. Still plenty of room to scale the loft. It is an excellent buy. Would suggest purchasing the ladder though. We left it natural wood with pale grey walls and white trim in the room. The climb at the end is a bit vertical. Happy Christmas.

I used a regular mattress on the top and bottom. But it does not have to be so for the bottom. it is just a matter of personal preference.

No, it's just the mattress alone. Best idea would be to use a large piece of plywood or an ikea bed frame + slats.

I suppose you could but (a) it's going to be a high bed and (b) the foam mattress might slide atop the box spring base. The whole point of this mattress is that you don't need a box spring. I bought the bed "box" to go along with it and it's perfect!!

I suppose you could purchase a box spring and frame and then, place this on top if you want it to function more like a traditional bed. I don't think that is how it is meant to be used but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

the bottom bunk can be removed or not used at all. although it may effect bed stability. haven't tried myself. but i could see it working.

I suppose you could put a boxspring on top of it, as long as the boxspring and the mattress did not slide around each other. The way it's designed though, you don't need a boxspring. The boards/slats have some flexibility. Mine is very comfortable with just a mattress.
