Two Beds, One Space
Trundle beds solve the spare bed problem. Pull out for sleepovers, push back for daytime - extra sleeping space without losing floor space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a trundle bed?
A main bed with a second bed underneath on wheels. Pulls out for guests or sleepovers, pushes back underneath during the day. Space-saving solution.
Are trundle beds hard to assemble?
More complex than regular beds - two frames, often different sizes, plus the rolling mechanism needs to work smoothly. Usually 1-2 hours depending on the model.
Will the trundle roll out easily after assembly?
That's the key to good assembly. If the frame isn't square or wheels aren't aligned, it'll jam. We get it rolling smoothly.
What mattresses do trundle beds need?
The trundle usually needs a thinner mattress (to fit underneath when stored). Check the bed specs - some are standard depth, some require specific trundle mattresses.
