How to loft a dorm bed at K-State (lower it to what they call a Captain bed height)

[@erynh113]

This was such a helpful video, thank you! I go to a different school that uses the same style of bed frames and wanted to lower one of them. I had no idea where to start, so this video was such a help. Now my friends can use it as a hangout spot!

This was so helpful!! I never thought to lay it on its side!! I was all alone moving in and I couldn’t get it standing up!! Thank you so much!

[@justinvalentin8983]

This really helped me, thank you! I only wish I did this during the day time as to not bother my neighbors.

glad it was helpful!

This will be helpful! I don't go to the same school, but some of the rooms at my school have these beds and I'm hoping to raise them to the same height as shown here if I get a room with these beds.

[@myinspirationcorner4499]

Hope it turns out to be similar and helpful.

[@sarahsypnieski7474]

helped tremendously!!! thank you so much, im heading to college in a couple weeks and needed to figure out how to get more storage room under that little bed 😂😂

[@mariahhasfuntimeshere]

Honestly I was just so surprised to see kstate in the title of a recommended video so I watched this even though I already know how to do this haha. Too bad I didn’t see this two years ago it would have been helpful

[@elisel8828]

Thank you so much for the video, ive been dying to figure how to adjust the height

[@ronodell2896]

How much clearance under bed

[@corriroberts1726]

What is on top the desk that is grey? Is that contact paper?

[@myinspirationcorner4499]

Yes. It's contact paper. This is the one I used: amzn.to/2OFXheL

[@DBolar-mo3wv]

what is the desk topper and where did you get it? Also storage drawers. Thanks!

[@333cparker]

Most want to do the opposite as most dorm rooms are too small and you get a desk space underneath the bed.

[@suzannalopez8487]

What’s the name of that bed ? Can anyone purchase this bed ?

[@myinspirationcorner4499]

I don’t know how or where to buy the beds. These are the beds that are already in the university dorm rooms.

[@shanshan8113]

They're called university bunk beds and the cheapest one I've found is like $600 🤯 maybe find a college that's closing and see about trying to get one 🤷🏾‍♀️

Great video, thank you!

What if your bed is down where do you get the thing you took out to move it

[@myinspirationcorner4499]

I would suggest looking around in the room (in window ledges, on shelves in the room, etc.). If you can't find them, I would ask someone at the dorms. I would imagine they'd have replacements for lost components.

[@jazmineochoa8037]

My Inspiration Corner can you paint it

[@myinspirationcorner4499]

Jazmine Ochoa no. they don’t allow you to paint then.

[@dswdostaywith3720]

Can you ask to take the whole bed frame out and bring your own

[@myinspirationcorner4499]

They normally do NOT allow this. You typically have to keep everything in your room that they’ve put in there

[@mr.mayochup9166]

what type of bed is that? I'm trying to get one with a similar premise, adjustable height but I cant find it.

[@Hanson97]

Yes I want something like this and I’m not even in college. 😂 How tall is the bed frame when they resize it?
