Hi! I’m Sally Elshorafa — Home and Garden Editor here at BuzzFeed — and I’m here to help you find the perfect trundle frame. But before we dive into your options, let’s discuss some basics.
So, what is a trundle bed, and why might you need one? Let’s break it down. A trundle bed is basically a bed with a secret — and who doesn’t love a good secret? It looks like your standard comfy bed, but surprise! There’s another bed hiding underneath, just waiting to pop out like it’s the star of a dramatic reveal.
Why would you want one? Well, imagine this: You’re hosting a sleepover, your in-laws stop by, or maybe you just have more friends than you have space (congrats!). Instead of offering someone the couch and a questionable pillow, you can roll out a trundle and let them sleep like royalty (or at least, not in the living room). Trundle beds save you space, keep things stylish, and make you look like a master of hospitality.
Types of trundle beds:
Daybed with trundle: Looks like a couch by day and transforms into a bed + bonus bed by night. It’s the mullet of furniture — business up front, party in the back.
Bunk bed with trundle: This one is for serious space-savers. A bunk bed on top, trundle underneath. Stack ’em up and get ready for the ultimate sleepover showdown.
Pop-up trundle: Want two twin beds that magically transform into a king? You’ve got it! A pop-up trundle does exactly what is says — pops up to create more space (or combine for a bigger bed).
