Trundle Drawer

This is low to the ground and essentially the mattress is stored in a drawer.  The drawer has wheels and you pull this drawer out from under the bed.

Some brands enable you to use the trundle drawer for storage if it has a solid base. The mattress for trundle drawers will have a restricted height so be sure to check on the specification for that brand.

Pop Up Frame Trundle 

This style of trundle are consist of metal framed pop up bed bases which sit underneath the upper bed.  

Once pulled away from the bed you can pull out the leg frame.  The trundle bed will sit at the same height as the main bed.  You then have options to either make a large double bed - great for adult guests or you can sit the bed independently in the room.

To ensure the same height as the main bed both the mattress should be the same height.  It is best to check with the brand for exact measurement of the mattress needed.

Trundle Storage Bed.

Often known as a Captains bed.  These beds have massive versatility combined storage and a trundle bed in one go.

The trundle bed slides out as a complete bed from beneath the upper bed whilst the storage drawers stays static on the floor.

Trundles options are also available for our bunk beds too - so if your child is going for a mega slumber there will be plenty of bed space.

Which Mattress Should I Use For My Trundle.

We always recommend you carefully check the mattress sizes for a trundle with the brand or retailer as they can vary greatly between manufacturers.  

Some of the trundle beds can be slightly shorter in width or length than the main bed so great for children but not always suitable for the larger adult house guest !

Latex foam mattresses are a good choice for a trundle as they are not only comfortable but are thinner so neatly fit under the bed when not in use.
