It might be viable to think about investing in a trundle bed, especially if you have kids who love sleepovers and don't have room for a triple-sized bunk bed. This space-saving piece of addition in your bunk bed will give you an additional bed within the same footprint. Plus, these are designed to fit under a twin bed, some tuck under a full-size or king bunk bed, it has been a popular choice in bunk beds used in small quarters, such as studio apartments.

Even though these beds look fun in-store, many homeowners brush off these additions because they don't see them as a worthwhile investment. The bottom line to this statement is that trundles have a variety of uses and have extended their usability far past than homeowners actually think of them.

However, are king bunk beds with trundles right for you? Let's explore more about these versatile and functional beds and decide whether it is right for you or not.

What is a Trundle Bunk Bed?

Ever wondered about trundle bunk beds? They're super cool! Picture this: a regular bunk bed with an extra mattress tucked neatly underneath. It's like having a secret bed drawer! Perfect for sleepovers or when guests pop by. Our trundle bunk beds are made to last and comfy too. Say hello to more sleep space without taking up extra room. Try one out and make bedtime awesome!

Great for small space living! These work well in a variety of spaces and for surprisingly different functions. For instance, we often associate bunk beds with trundles best for kids and sleepovers but there is more to it. Here are a few key features to note:

  1. Construction: Don't want to take up too much floor space with an extra bed? You can quickly roll out the additional bed beneath your king super-sized bunk bed frame.

  2. Function: Just add your mattress some pillows and you will be up with additional sleeping space. During the day you can keep the mattress stored and pull it out when necessary.

  3. Size: Trundles bed can be incorporated into twin, full, queen, and king bunks. Plus, these are also available in a pop-up design that is when used in a twin bunk it can transform twin mattress into a full-size, making room for two more people.

Why Should I Buy a Trundle bed?

Low cost and compact style, the addition of this feature in your bunk bed frame will allow you to accommodate overnight guests easily or friends for sleepovers without having to invest in another bed. What else?

You should buy a trundle bed when:

  1. You don't have a guest room at home and you want some extra sleeping space for guests to come over.

  2. You just want to add some style to your room

  3. Or if you have children who share a small bedroom, a trundle can be a safer option for small kids.

Here are a few of the reasons you need to consider a trundle when getting your bunk bed customized:

  1. Extra bed for sleepovers! If you often host parties or have frequent guests visiting, you can use your trundle bed. They are comfortable, convenient, and easy to use. Typically, if you opt for a standard bunk bed, which is a twin-over-twin, it can only accommodate two people. However, a bunk bed with a trundle can sleep three people.

  2. Maximizes small spaces: When you live in a small space, such as an apartment or studio, trundle beds are a smart piece of furniture to invest in. The extremely small footprint can be tucked under, offering you free floor space. This will allow you to keep your guest room looking spacious and aesthetically pleasing when the trundle is not in use.

  3. Storage: You should keep your trundle and convert it into hidden storage, even if you no longer have a need for a spare bed. Confused how? Picture it as one gigantic under-bed storage rather than small drawers, you can use these without a mattress to create extra space for your bedding and other essentials.

  4. Make the most of the compact space with different-sized trundles! Though the bed frames come in different sizes, shapes, and heights to provide better support for your mattress. Note that a bunk bed frame is generally slightly smaller than the regular bed above it. Trundle beds typically come with a twin or full-frame as queen and king sizes take up more space. While twin-size mattresses are popular, particularly in twin-over-twin bunks, full-size trundles also make great options with our "CASTINE" King Bunk.

What Kind of Mattress Should I Use With a Trundle Bed?

As we stated above, trundle whether you opt for a twin, queen, or a king-size bunk bed only uses a twin or a full-size mattress. However, to get the best you need to be sure that you invest in a high-quality and comfortable mattress just like your upper bunks. It totally depends on your bed frame, some trundle beds require a thinner mattress while others might need a thick mattress. A thin mattress can also be supportive, offer an impressive level of comfort, and foster good sleep if you opt for handmade or natural mattresses made by highly skilled artisans.

For serious comfort seekers, we at Maine Bunk Beds have a range of natural fiber mattresses available in cotton, wool and latex. Plus, we also offer great prices on high-quality innerspring and foam mattresses available in different sizes and thickness. So you can customize according to your needs and comfort levels!

And lastly, it's all about finding the right bed online!

Even though trundle beds don't take up as much space as a typical double bed would do, it is likely going to be an investment! Thus, it is imperative to choose a design and bed frame that will suit your room dimensions, complement the room theme, and is versatile to grow with your needs.

Shopping with Maine Bunk Beds is much more convenient and comfortable, all you need to do is scroll through the different bed frames available, design according to custom dimensions and features, select the paint color and finish, approve the unfinished one, and then reconfirm the built!
