The material is 25*25 2 mm thickness. Lightweight. But extremely sturdy!! No flex at all!!

Many hours in the punch and milling machine it took!!! I have everything saved as dxf.er

I got really satisfied kids.

Seriously cool. Regarding sovloft.se, there's something insanely stylish about untreated pine... seriously, maybe I've been affected, but I really like it.

Super nice beds! However, I'm concerned about the protruding rods on the sides of the safety rails. It might just be the pictures that are misleading, but otherwise, I think they look a bit too long – meaning there could be a risk of children getting caught with clothes or similar if they climb down a bit carelessly. There have been tragic accidents that way :-( If that's the case, it seems like it would be easy to fix by adding extra "holders" at the ends of each side :-)
 
I was browsing Hemnet a bit yesterday and saw a cozy apartment with a loft bed, but it's probably higher ceilings than in your apartment:
A small apartment with a loft bed above a door, accessed by a wooden ladder. The room has a TV, a sofa with cushions, and a light, minimalistic design.

However, I agree with those who point out that 120 cm sounds a bit narrow for 2 people. I would rather go for a good sofa bed that you fold out when you have guests.

Regarding the height, you don't have to be able to sit completely upright, but it's good if even a tall person only needs to bend their neck a little. Sit under the desk and try it out.

Link to the apartment, but the ad will probably disappear soon:

Please note the "ruined hallway." Do you do that in a house built in 1920?

I understand what you mean!! In this case, I thought it looked nicer this way. Instead of having the holders at the ends. We use the beds frequently!! Even during the day, with their friends and so on, who also climb. But there hasn't been any tendency for anything to get caught. Partly because they are well-rounded, but also because the paint is very smooth. That probably helps too.
 
Agree that it's stylish :-) I wouldn't quite have the nerves to have it like that myself. I remember, as you describe, that there was a lot of climbing in bunk beds when I was a child :-D Just wanted to mention the risk, but you're already aware of it then.

I built some loft beds 200x180. The frame can be securely made with 2 by 4, which builds up 95 mm in height. On the inside, I screwed on 22x45 slats that supported the mattress frame or similar.
Screwing a 45x95 beam into a concrete wall is very simple with, for example, nylon plugs (buy brand-name ones) and large wood screws.
Such a loft holds up for all kinds of play.
We inaugurated a new build with 10 people and a crate of beer on the loft for a movie night.

I copied the design from a loft bed in a furniture store and adapted it for my first small apartment in Stockholm. It turned out great with a corner hanging from the ceiling and integrated brackets for a desk. Sold that apartment in 2005 but I'll see if I can find a picture. Back then, we barely had the internet. I think the hanging corner was great so no legs stood out in the room. Airy and stylish. I had about 95 cm from the top of the mattress to the ceiling so you didn't risk hitting your head on the ceiling when sitting up.

I lived in a 100-year-old house and used two large French screws. It was solid as a rock. We tried having two people hang from that corner, and it worked great. It never fell during my three years there, and I sold the bed with the apartment.

This exact variant was it, though I had legs in the corner and the desk was free-hanging (90 degrees from the desk in the picture). I used the same design and had it powder-coated in black by a company that made strength training equipment.

Where can one find ceiling mounts for a hanging bed?

I had it made at a machine shop based on my own design, so it was a mounting plate with two holes integrated/welded into the leg that attached to the ceiling.
