15 more beds have a cabinet taller than 84 inches and no listed minimum. They are not included in these tables.
Cabinet beds
The 6 cabinet beds stand on the floor, so the ceiling does not limit them. They are 41 to 43 in tall when closed. They open to 76.4 to 83.1 in from the wall.
Sources of the minimum ceiling heights
Bedder Way minimums are calculated from its listed rule of bed height plus 2 1/2 inches, or are the fixed heights it lists for the economy frame. Lori Beds minimums come from its measurement guide. Bestar lists a minimum on each product page.

Wall anchoring must follow the manufacturer's install instructions. A professional installer is the safe choice for any wall in doubt.
