My boyfriend has a double loft bed in his apartment.
He really likes it becauses it's bigger than a twin bed (regular size twin beds are really too short for most guys) and he still has tons of room (has his desk and bookcase under his desk).
Problems with it:
It's a little unstable. Sometimes when I'm up there I feel like I'm either going to fall off, or that it's just too shaky.
It's very difficult/a pain to make his bed and change the sheets. I wash my sheets every 2 weeks or so (at the most) and make my bed everyday. His sheets are hardly ever washed, mostly because it's such a pain to remake the bed.
Daybed's seem like a nice compromise.
Futons are VERY uncomfortable, and horrible for your back, unless you get a very expensive one. And then, it's much more worth it to spring for a higher quality mattress.
