Trundle Bed Frame

If you have need of an extra bed in your child’s room but not enough room to keep two beds in there fulltime you may wish to consider a trundle bed frame as a way to give your children more room and still have plenty of sleeping space for your kids. A trundle bed is also great for a child who want to have sleep over’s, or for the blended family that has children coming to spend the weekend. Simply tuck away the bed when it is not needed so there is more room in the bedroom and pull it out when it is necessary.

There are different types of trundle bed frames depending on what you are looking for you can get a trundle bed that can independently fold underneath another bed, or you can get a trundle bed that is all one frame with the lower bed attached to springs that will raise it up the same height as the original bed. This is a great bed to keep in a guest room as the resulting bed is the size of a king sized bed which is ideal for adults that come to visit.

While most trundle beds you see are made for children this is not always the case, some trundle beds are also made to accommodate adult couples, with the pull out bed creating either a full size, queen size or king size bed. This makes the trundle bed a very versatile bed for a number of different applications. Perhaps you live in a studio apartment and need a bed that is more comfortable than a hide-a-bed. Or maybe you have frequent company but only have one spare room that you use for other things, a trundle bed will take up far less room that a full size bed does.

When choosing a trundle bed look for beds that have mattresses that are as close to full size as possible, an eight inch thick mattress for a trundle bed frame is about standard, but some may be a bit thick allowing you to have a bit more mattress than if it is a bed that is going to be used frequently. Look for a trundle bed that includes a box spring for a bit of extra support, not all trundle beds have them but there are a number of recent models that have started adding them. Look for mattresses that are specially designed for a trundle bed so that whoever sleeps on it will be as comfortable as possible.
