We were gifted the twin over full loft. It does not come with any mattresses. You will need to purchase a twin sized mattress (below 8inch), and a full sized futon mattress.
You need to put it together methodically and use common sense. You need to begin by taking everything out of the box and organizing all the pieces. That is a HUGE part. There seems to be 2 parts of putting it together that are not included in the instructions. The first missing instruction, youll need to refer to prior instructions re the same style piece. The final missing instruction youll need to realize you only have one set of screws left so you need to use those. You can put it up by yourself (I had minimal help from my husband). The hardest part was figuring out the moving mechanism on the futon. LOOK AT THE PICTURES. Look at where the holes are facing. That is the key here. If you dont do this, youll think the manufacturer forgot to drill a hole. Also, it comes with a set of spare parts, which is nice. One futon piece had a slightly flattened opening where it should have been round, but my husband was able to rework it pretty easily.
One thing other users noticed was that there is no entry to the top bunk. The child has to climb over the entire rail, so not the safest for littles. This is for my 11yr old, so not a big deal. We have normal sized ceilings (im thinking 8ft ) and you can see in my pics how high the bed goes. I doubt my child will stay on the top long. Better than I even expected
Pleasantly surprised
