Get comfy in a bed that fits your style—and your storage needs!
Each room comes with:
- A twin (regular) size adjustable-height bed
- A dual-firmness mattress—choose between firm or extra firm by flipping it over
- Bed dimensions: approx. 80.5″ long x 41″ wide x 37″ high
You can choose from three different height settings to match your storage preferences.
Setting Clearance Under Bed:

You’ll have your own space to study, create, and focus.
Every resident gets a desk and a two-position chair. The desks are approximately 42″ wide by 24″ deep and 30″ high.
