The woman who lives in Houston, Texas, had purchased the tiny house for £68,000 and it came to her on the back of a lorry already built.
The stunning home was kitted with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and a loft.
But instead of using her bedroom to sleep in, Bresha decided that the loft would make more sense.
The only issue is that the loft is only 3 ft 6 inches high - meaning she was unable to stand up in her bedroom.
This had left millions of people on social media to ask why she even put her bed there in the first place.
Bresha finally revealed why in a recent video posted to her TikTok account @ breshajeanae.
She said: "I live in a tiny home and I get hundreds of questions from people asking me why I chose to make the upstairs loft area my bedroom.
"For context, this is how big the bedroom is downstairs. It's very small, the bedroom is only 8 foot by 5 foot."
Bresha went on to say that her queen-sized bed would barely fit inside the room, let alone her bedside table and other belongings.
She then took people upstairs to the loft which she had turned into her bedroom.

"Guys, this is the room upstairs. The loft area. And yes, it's not tall at all. It's only 3 foot and a couple inches tall," she explained.
"But it's so big. There's so much room. As you can see, I have my queen size bed, two side tables, a dresser."
She even had room for a small seating area to be put in.
The loft would have been used to store Bresha's clothes and dressing table so she could get ready in the morning,
But she decided to switch the spaces around so her bedroom was now her wardrobe as it made more sense to store clothes where she could actually stand up and get ready.
She continued: "It just made more sense to me to have the downstairs room be my getting ready room where my vanity is and my clothes.
The idea of the bed space having such a small ceiling makes me sick.

"Rather than trying to get ready upstairs because I can't fully stand up. So I would have to take my clothes, bring them downstairs to the bathroom and put them on."
The clip went viral on her account @breshajeanae and people were quick to take to the comments and share their thoughts.
One person wrote: "Love the logic, makes sense to me. Who's standing in their bed anyways?"
Tiny Homes FAQs
The tiny house movement began in the USA before gaining popularity in the UK.
What is a tiny home?
Tiny houses are small, fully-equipped living spaces designed to lead a more sustainable, off-grid lifestyle. Although they vary in size and shape, tiny homes tend to be between 15 and 50 square metres in capacity, made of sustainable materials and are easier — and cheaper — to maintain than traditional brick homes.
Are tiny homes legal in the UK?
As long as the tiny house doesn't exceed 19.8m x 6.7m in size, it is defined as a caravan in UK law. Therefore, tiny houses are classed as legal additional living space.
Can you get a mortgage for a tiny home?
The small size and relatively low cost of tiny houses means they're not generally considered eligible for a mortgage. However, there are plenty of options to take out a loan to fund your dreams of the perfect, moveable home.
Another commented: 'I could not do this I'm so claustrophobic."
"I 100% support this. You're sleeping or sitting up there, you're not doing cardio up there, people need to relax," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "I know it's not my house but my brain likes the loft space being the room. Love the living room area and then the windows either side. I'd love waking up to sunlight in the morning seems far less claustrophobic too."
"The idea of the bed space having such a small ceiling makes me sick but I'm glad it works for you I see the appeal,' claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: 'It looks so nice, I just get claustrophobic being close to the roof."

She starred in iconic 90s teen drama that made household names of her co-stars... can you guess who it is?
This actress embodied the quintessential girl-next-door in a fictional Massachusetts coastal town on a legendary 90s teen drama - a groundbreaking series that catapulted many of its stars into lasting Hollywood fame. Think you know who it is? Born in Texas and raised in Illinois after her parents' separation, this star discovered a passion for the performing arts early on and went on to pursue a modeling career in New York City after graduating high school. Before ever stepping onto a film set, she quietly built a presence behind the scenes - appearing on product packaging like a Conair hair crimper and on the covers of five books in the iconic Nancy Drew mystery series. In 1996, she finally made her television debut in a Tylenol Sinus commercial, a small but significant step that opened the door to future roles on screen. That same year, her modeling career soared as she landed spots in a wave of television commercials and magazine ads for major brands, including L'Oreal hair-care, Disney Resort, Huffy bicycles, Ford cars, and Mattel toys. Her early modeling success quickly led her to a real film set, where she stepped into the role of a confident, determined young teacher facing the harsh realities of a tough inner-city school in an episode of ABC's Dangerous Minds. Her growing exposure soon earned her a small recurring role on the short-lived 90s drama Sunset Beach, where she played a pregnant teenager navigating life in a tight-knit California town where everybody knows everybody's business. However, it wasn't until her sun-kissed blonde hair, approachable smile and all-American charm landed her a series regular role on a beloved '90s drama that she truly cemented her place in television history. This actress portrayed a cheerful, high-achieving blonde teenager who, beneath her sunny, determined exterior, wrestled with profound personal struggles - including anxiety, depression and complex family trauma. Navigating Capeside High School alongside her friends as they transitioned to college and adulthood, she quickly became a fan favorite over three seasons - her character playing a pivotal role in reshaping how television addressed mental health. With a career spanning over 25 years, this star has amassed more than 80 acting credits across a diverse array of films, television shows and guest appearances. Have you been able to guess who it is yet? It's Meredith Monroe! The now 55-year-old actress masterfully captured the vulnerable and emotionally layered essence of 14-year-old Andie McPhee - the somewhat stubborn, preppy blonde teen at the core of the hit 90s drama, Dawson's Creek. Running for six seasons, the series saw Monroe become an essential presence after joining the main cast in season two, where she was introduced as fiercely intelligent but troubled girl with an unrelenting drive for success. Her arrival at Capeside High School added a new layer of emotional depth to the series, as she stepped into the story while grieving the loss of her brother, Tim, and caring for a mentally ill mother. Andie was one of the earliest characters on mainstream TV to openly grapple with mental health struggles - a bold and groundbreaking departure from the norms of TV at the time. She embodied the kind of character who tries to fix everything - when she's quietly unraveling herself. Though she cared deeply for her group of friends, Andie brought a layer of realistic complexity to the teen series, as the show portrayed her own gradual downfall under the weight of family trauma and the pressure to maintain good grades. Monroe's character also marked a turning point for Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson), whose relationship with her sparked significant emotional and academic growth, helping him mature in ways the series hadn't previously explored. She also played a legendary role in one of the most revolutionary LGBTQ+ storylines on television at the time, with her unwavering support for her brother Jack after he came out. Throughout Monroe's time on the show, her character's mental health steadily deteriorated, ultimately leading her to push Pacey away at times. Her notable departure from the show come Season 4 was intricately aligned with her character's arc, as she chose to study abroad after years of grappling with her own emotional well-being. She also played a legendary role in one of the most revolutionary LGBTQ+ storylines on television at the time, with her unwavering support for her brother Jack after he came out serving as a powerful message of acceptance After leaving the show in 2000, she returned to the Dawson's Creek universe to film the graduation episode. The beloved show served as a launching pad for several actors who would go on to become household names including Katie Holmes, James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams and Joshua Jackson. While Monroe didn't achieve the same level of Hollywood fame as some of her co-stars, she has maintained a steady and consistent television career since her departure. Since then, she has found success with the ABC film The One, a major role in ABC series Married to the Kellys, and a small appearance in Minority Report. More recently, she has landed recurring roles on Criminal Minds, Hart of Dixie and 13 Reasons Why, along with numerous guest appearances on a variety of popular shows. In 1999, Monroe married Steven Kavovit, a massage therapist. Together, the pair have two children together and reside in Calabasas, California.

HBO star reveals why he has 'no hair and no eyebrows': 'I know I look weird'
Actor and comedian Jeff Hiller has revealed why exactly he has 'no hair and no eyebrows,' admitting: 'I know I look weird.' The 48-year-old reached new levels of prominence as the best friend on the HBO series Somebody Somewhere starring Bridget Everett. Demonstrating his range, he also played the villainous role of a serial killer targeting gay men on American Horror Story: NYC in 2022. Now he has published a new memoir called Actress Of A Certain Age, with a whole chapter devoted to the question of his hair. He disclosed that he suffers from frontal fibrosing alopecia, which occurs mainly in postmenopausal women and can result in eyebrow loss as well as a receding hairline at the front and sides of the patient's scalp. Jeff shared why he found that chapter to be the 'hardest' to write, and why he was surprised by the way people responded, via People. In the same chapter, he wrote about having patches of discolored skin brought on by the condition morphea, aka localized scleroderma. Although he was bent on including a chapter about 'morphea and having no hair or no eyebrows,' he found himself taken aback by the reactions. 'What's funny is I thought everyone would be like: "Oh my God, you're so brave for writing this," and no one has even mentioned it,' he dished. Jeff also pointed out that even his editor thought he might not 'need' to include the chapter in the book, which was published this Tuesday. 'When I first came out, it was really important for me to tell people I was gay, not because I thought they didn't know, but because I thought they weren't sure if I knew,' explained the San Antonio native. 'And I think I want to get out where I'm like: "I know I look weird, I've seen that you Googled it, I've talked to these hair and makeup people, I just want you to know I know it, too. So, if you're talking behind my back, I know it."' Although he found that chapter the 'hardest' to cobble together, he also noted: 'People get uncomfortable when you say: "I know I'm not attractive," but, also, that's not really where I hold myself esteem.' Jeff observed: 'I'm not a young, hot movie star that needs to be f***able to get my next role. So it's not that big of a deal. I know my hair looks weird.' The memoir also continues reflections about growing up in Texas, where young Jeff found himself getting picked on over his homosexuality. He found that portion 'surprisingly difficult' to get through, sharing: 'I forgave myself a little bit by writing about that, and I have a lot of compassion for my younger self.' Jeff continued: 'When I look at my little fat kid self with my perm from my mom that she gave me in the kitchen, I feel a lot of compassion for myself.' However not all the personal details of his life made it into the book, and he 'left out a couple of things that I thought were maybe a little too much,' he teased.
