What is a Trundle Bed?
A trundle bed is a twin bed that has a second bed stored underneath it. This makes it easy to have an extra bed on hand for sleepovers or overnight guests.
The second bed, under the main bed, is on a platform with wheels. This allows the second bed to easily slide under the main bed when it is not in use. Interestingly, the name "trundle" comes from the sound that this bed makes as it slides in and out of the bottom of a twin bed.
Most trundles are used with kid's beds. The platform under the bed takes up all of the space under the bed and is usually the same size as the bed above. The mattress on the trundle is thinner and shorter than the twin mattress. This makes it easy to store the trundle away when it is not in use.
How Twin Trundle Bed Sets Work
Trundles work pretty simply. The main bed, which can be larger, is found on the top and sits in a mattress frame. Under the frame is a hollow bottom where the trundle is stored.
The trundle bed is a platform on top of casters. The casters are what allow the trundle bed to slide in and out from the hollow space under the bed. This enables you to use two beds at the same time.
The Difference Between Trundle Beds and Daybeds
Daybeds and trundle beds have many similarities. Both offer an extra bed for guests without taking up extra space in a room. However, twin trundle bed sets are very different from day beds.
The key difference between the two is how they are used. A daybed is a twin bed that has been outfitted with a headboard and a footboard. Daybeds are meant to be used as a sofa during the day and a bed at night. A trundle bed is a twin bed on casters that can be rolled under another twin bed.
Is a Trundle Bed Right for You?
You may be wondering if twin trundle bed sets are right for you. While these beds are convenient, versatile, and space-saving, they may not be the right fit for your needs. Here are some things to consider:
-
Do you have a small room?
-
Do you have overnight guests often?
-
Do you need an extra bed for your child's sleepovers?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those questions, then twin trundle bed sets are right for you! A twin trundle bed set, such as our Forrester Trundle Bed, is the perfect bed to fit your needs.
The Benefits of a Trundle Bed
There are many benefits to having a trundle bed versus a regular twin bed. For starters, trundle beds take up less space. This is because the second bed is stored underneath the first. Other benefits of twin trundle bed sets include the following:
Perfect for sleepovers
A last-minute sleepover can have you scrambling to figure out sleeping arrangements. With twin trundle bed sets, all you have to do is roll out the second bed. This eliminates the need for noisy air mattresses that deflate in the middle of the night.
Can be used as a guest bed
Twin trundle bed sets are perfect for guests. If you have guests staying over, a trundle bed can come in handy. It provides a place for your guest to sleep and can easily be hidden during the day.
Great for small spaces
They are great for small rooms. If your child's room is on the small side, a trundle bed can help you save space.
Many children also have a range of toys and activities that fill their room. This can make it difficult to fit a second bed. Overall, twin trundle bed sets are a great option for those who are looking for an extra bed without taking up too much space.
Cost-effective
If you're on a budget, twin trundle bed sets are a great option. They are often more affordable than buying two separate beds. A twin trundle bed can also be a great investment. If your child outgrows their twin bed, the trundle bed can be used by another child in the family.
