Trundle bed: These are the units that fit underneath the bunk beds and usually accommodate a twin mattress. It can be used as a large drawer, pull out pop-up trundle, which is basically a folding frame designed to hide inside. If your kid does have regular sleepovers or your kids share a bedroom, the compact, cutting-edge design of this bunk bed will afford you more floor space, giving your kids the liberty to play around the bottom bunk, relax and doze off when it's time to turn out the lights.
Accommodating 2 or more people: Depending on the configuration you choose, the bottom bunk can be a captained bed box, which provides a built-in storage system, usually consisting of drawers, below the sleeping area. As bunk beds come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs, choosing the right one will inspire your children to engage in a more consistent bedtime routine, resulting in a better quality of sleep for everyone sharing the room.
