I would use these if there was a modern take in it. There's so much wasted space. All that space above my bed is unused; all the space underneath becomes a magnet for dust and dirt.

I would need to be able to sit up in my bed and get in/out without bumping my head. An integrated light would be nice- for reading, along with some chargingp ports and integrated shelving along with a built-in central air unit with a heater/airco for the hot + warm nights would save a ton of electricity in the extreme seasons.

And if you live in a home with others, a fair bit of privacy is always lovely.

I'm shocked this isn't a thing yet.

You sound like someone dying to live on a sailboat for a few months of the year. There’s something quite cozy and gentle about those berths when done well.

I think noone does that because 2 meter long shelf to put over the bed wouldn't be sturdy enough with modern furniture materials. So any cupboard that's 2m wide and at least 1m deep would need to be custom made. High up, 1 meter deep shelves are not that much more useful than empty space above the bed.

You can put storage above the bed. With some clever engineering, you could probably fit an entire closet at no cost to your sleeping space. It's much easier to sleep nearer the ground than it is to place a loft bed closer to the ceiling to create more space. There's something about climbing up a ladder that's not quite so fun.
