<p>Yes, if you loft the bed there will be nothing underneath. I believe you can also rent a futon from the bed loft company. My son purchased a small futon that folds out to a bed for guests from Ikea in Sunrise, FL for $150 [SOLSTA</a> Sofa bed - IKEA](<a href=“Products - IKEA”>Furniture - Shop Furniture Online & In-store Near You - IKEA) It is small enough that he can still fit a mini fridge next to it with a microwave stacked on top of the fridge. He actually rented a zipcar and squeezed the sofa in the backseat (after removing the packaging at the store) to transport it to the dorm. He plans to store it over the summers and use it as long as it holds up.</p>
