They also have Murphy beds that pull down from side to side, therefore taking up a lot less room. Think of a twin bed sideways against a wall.

How about using the loft bed space and building a platform bed with storage.

Most Murphy beds need to be bolted into the walls and the floor for safety. Be sure this is something you want for a long time because it's costly to repair when removed.
