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).
Now, let's take a look at your best options:
1. A metal twin daybed with trundle to prove less is definitely more. Its steel frame is built to last and the trundle adds extra space for when your guest list unexpectedly grows (or when you just need somewhere to nap and Netflix).
2. A twin bed with a trundle if you're looking for a bed as sturdy as it is chic. It can handle sleepovers, guests, and kids bouncing like they're on a trampoline (hey, we've all been there) because it's made of solid wood.
3. An upholstered daybed with a trundle can turn any room into a guest room in no time. With its soft, upholstered frame and curved edges, it blends effortlessly into any style of interior. The twin trundle easily slides out for extra sleeping space, making this daybed perfect for last-minute visitors.
4. A pop-up trundle bed because why choose between a twin or king when you can have both? This daybed extends from a twin to a king-size with a simple pull, making it perfect for guests or anyone who loves options. And with two spacious drawers underneath, you'll have plenty of room to stash all those extra blankets or pillows.
5. A bunk bed with a trundle if you're looking to maximize space while keeping things stylish and functional. This is the bed trifecta — bunk bed on top, second bed below, and a trundle bed just in case that surprise sleepover happens. Bonus: the 2-in-1 design means the bunk bed can be split into two separate beds, which is perfect if you have kids who'll eventually be ready to move into their own rooms.
6. A boho daybed with a pop-up trundle that works as hard as you do. This flips between a cozy twin and a full king-sized setup with its pop-up trundle — perfect for guests or when you need more stretching room. Its rustic wood frame pairs beautifully with the included linen mattresses, making it both functional and effortlessly cool.
7. A queen-size storage bed with a trundle so you can say goodbye to cluttered bedrooms and hello to storage heaven. With drawers cabinets, and a bookcase headboard, you'll have space for everything from bedtime reads to chargers and knickknacks. Plus, the trundle's tucked underneath for when guests crash at your place or for those inevitable sibling sleepovers.
8. A Novogratz mid-century modern-esque trundle daybed to elevate your home and your guest-hosting game. Draped in a chic linen fabric with tufted details that scream "fancy," this daybed comes with a hidden trundle that slides out smoothly when you need that extra bed.
9. A no-nonsense bamboo and metal daybed with a trundle if you want a strong and simple bed built to handle everything from naps to guests. And with a trundle underneath, you'll always have extra sleep space without the extra hassle.
10. A twin bed frame with a trundle because why settle for an ordinary bed when you can have a whole house? This'll bring a playful touch to your kid's room, turning sleep time into an adventure. Whether it's for sleepovers or just hanging out in their cozy little "house," this bed makes every night feel like a fun escape — without ever leaving the room.
11. A daybed with a pop-up trundle to make your space extra versatile. This has your back (and your guest's back) with a pop-up trundle that transforms it from a single sleeper to a double in seconds. The metal frame has a spindle design that'll add a touch of charm to any room, while the lockable wheels keep things practical and easy to move around.
12. An upholstered linen daybed with a trundle that will offer two beds in one streamlined setup. No matter where you put it, you'll have extra sleeping space when needed without taking over your room.
13. And a bunk bed with stairs and a trundle to get the most bang for your buck. This twin-over-full bunk bed has built-in stairs for easy access and a pull-out trundle for extra sleeping space. The solid wood frame is durable enough for everyday use, while the modern design keeps your room looking polished.
