The Best High Sleeper Beds with Desks for Teens

When it comes to creating a bedroom that works for teenagers, choosing the right furniture can make all the difference. As your child grows, their room often needs to work harder; it becomes a place to sleep, study, relax, and sometimes even entertain friends. That’s where high beds with desks come in.

A high sleeper bed is a clever space saving design that raises the sleeping area off the ground, leaving plenty of space underneath for a desk, shelves, a wardrobe, or even a sofa bed. It's cool, it's compact, it's clever. In other words, it's a great option for teens who need a bit of everything in one room.

So, what is a high sleeper bed and why do teens love them?

A high sleeper (sometimes called a loft bed) is a raised bed with a sturdy frame, often designed with a secure ladder for safe and easy access. Underneath the raised bed, you’ll find a built-in setup that can include desks, integrated shelving, or even a small wardrobe.

This setup helps keep the room tidy without needing extra furniture that takes up valuable floor space. Teens love high sleepers because they offer independence and a sense of personal space—a little area that feels more like their own.

The (many) benefits of high sleeper beds with desks

There are plenty of reasons why a high sleeper with desk addition is worth considering for a teenager’s room:

• Unlock more floor space: By lifting the bed up off the floor, you create usable room underneath for a desk, storage options, or a sofa.
• Space saving design: Ideal for smaller bedrooms where fitting in a bed, desk, and wardrobe separately would be tricky, get two (or three) in one.
• Built in desks and storage: Many Millie & Jones bed styles include built in desks, shelves, or drawers, helping keep things organised.
• Flexible for teens’ needs: The space can grow with your child — study zone, chill-out spot, or both.
• Stylish designs: From sleek modern frames to classic wood finishes, there’s a high sleeper bed style to suit every teen’s taste, even if they are 'too cool'.

How to choose the right high sleeper for your teenager

When it's time to start shopping for a high sleeper with a desk for your teenager, it’s worth thinking about a few key points to help you find the right fit (and not purely what they think is cool...).

Start with the recommended age for your chosen high sleeper model. Most high sleepers are suitable for older kids and teens, generally from around six years upwards, though this depends on the specific model and design. Think about how long you'll have the bed as well as safety concerns.

Next, think carefully about the room size. Measure up to ensure there’s plenty of space for the ladder, the desk, and any extra furniture your teen might need. It’s easy to underestimate how much room a high sleeper with built in features can take, so it’s always good to double check before you order.

Consider your teen’s storage needs too. If they've got a lot of clothes, hobby equipment, books, or collectibles, you're probably searching for somewhere to tuck it all away. Some beds in our Millie & Jones range come with integrated shelving, drawers, or built in desks that make it easier to keep things organised and the room tidy.

The style and finish of the bed matters as well. Whether your teenager prefers something simple and modern or loves a natural wood look, there’s a wide choice of designs to suit their taste and the rest of their bedroom.

Finally, always look out for essential safety features. A secure ladder, sturdy frame, and strong guard rails are important for keeping your child safe, especially on high beds.
