Lofted / Raised MALM Storage Bed converts to 1. The bedroom measures 8ftx. Before this all started we were sleeping on a boxframe and mattress on risers with a bedskirt, and things just stuffed under the bed as they could fit.

When I saw the MALM storage bed with hinged mattress, I was ecstatic. However, with only 1. I pondered infinitely on how to raise the bed up high enough to fit our air conditioner among other things, and below is my solution! When all said and done, this lofted bed now has over 1.

This bed has a frame that touches the floor on all sides, and considering it does not have a center support I wanted to make sure all points of the bed were supported, so simply putting legs would not be a solution. I started by ordering 2. I then stained them “Ebony” which is actually a close enough match to the IKEA standard “Black/Brown” color. Also essential to any project is a willing helpful friend, and a sense of humor!

I put felt furniture pads underneath the frame so that when completed the bed could slide without scratching the floor. I then attached the 1/2. This was to prevent the MALM from sliding from one side to the other. I couldn’t use a bracket because the MALM pieces are hollow and cannot support screws, so this was purely to prevent the bed from twisting/sliding one way or another.

My lovely friend, who so kindly assisted me through this 2- day ordeal (as well as helping me paint an accent wall!) excitedly shows off the lifting frame. I then put the mattress on top and made the bed!

This thing is EXTREMELY sturdy and heavy enough so that it doesn’t move an inch. It is possible to lift the frame without disturbing your beautifully made bed. And as a bonus, my completed accent wall as well!
