By using a bed loft, you can free up space for comfort items like a futon, refrigerator, bean bag chair, additional storage, and more! In addition to the extra space they provide, Bedloft.com’s equipment is easy to rent, simply to set up, and very safe.

Our Residence Hall Linens and Residence Hall Carpets programs help parents and students prepare for move-in. Room sizes and bed sizes on college campuses are unique. In fact, residence hall beds are usually 6-8 inches longer than beds at home. These programs take the guesswork out of which items to bring to campus and ensure every college student is comfortable those first nights away from home. With one easy visit to our e-commerce website, parents can outfit their student with extra long sheets, mattress pads and comforters, along with storage and décor items for move-in. Students get to choose their favorite colors or patterns and personalize their rooms, parents get to save money and time. Everyone wins! And remember, those buildings on campus aren’t dorms! DORM stands for Dark, Ordinary Room of Mind. With more comfort, a nurturing sense of community, and fun, quality products from RHL.org, a dorm truly becomes a welcoming Residence Hall.
