What is a trundle bed?

What we call a trundle bed is a bed that hides another one. Indeed, we most often talk about a 90x190 cm trundle bed. It is therefore a 90x190 cm children's bed with a drawer just below the bed base. This drawer has the exact space needed to contain a second mattress and thus create a second bed. In other words, the children's trundle bed is a bed with a second sleeping area hidden in a drawer under the bed base. It is a two-in-one piece of furniture that can be set up in very little time.

What are the advantages of a trundle bed?

Trundle beds are most often chosen by parents because they offer real space savings. Indeed, in a small room shared by two children, it can be difficult to install two single beds without all the space being completely occupied by furniture. With the trundle bed, it is entirely possible to have two sleeping areas in the same room while reducing the loss of space.

The trundle bed is also very practical if you want to have a second sleeping area, but only occasionally. When your child invites a friend or cousin to sleep over, their guest will have a real, very comfortable bed. However, the rest of the time, this second sleeping area will be completely forgotten.

You can even opt for a trundle bed with storage which, in addition to space for a second mattress, also has storage space. This is a very good way to make even better use of space in your child's room.

By choosing a well-designed model, the drawer opens without any difficulty. The second sleeping area usually has retractable feet, making it easy to set up a second bed. In just a few minutes, the second bed is ready to use.

Finally, while we're mainly talking about children's trundle beds here, a 90x200 cm trundle bed can perfectly well be used as an adult trundle bed.

How to choose your model?

The choice of your trundle bed depends on several criteria that will help you choose the best possible model.

The format

First, consider the format of your trundle bed. There are models like single beds with a drawer underneath. But also models with storage, which can be very interesting in smaller spaces for example. You can also opt for a daybed-style trundle bed. This way, your child has a pleasant space to read, for example, during the day.

In terms of daybed-style trundle beds, we notably offer the LANDES daybed trundle bed. This lovely model combines white and wood in a timeless design to offer a daybed/trundle bed to install in your child's room, but also in a guest room for example.

The materials

If you want to choose the best trundle bed for your child's room, you should also look at the materials used in its construction. Wood is generally ideal. It is both sturdy and durable over time. With quality wood, you are assured of keeping your trundle bed for many years. To do even better, we recommend choosing PEFC or FSC certified furniture. This certification ensures that the wood used to make your furniture comes from sustainably managed forests.

At Chambrekids, we also like to favor low formaldehyde panels and solvent-free paints. Thus, the well-being of the environment, as well as your child's, is preserved to the maximum.

The manufacturing

Like materials, manufacturing can make all the difference. Our advice? Favor made in France or made in Europe to ensure you get a quality piece of furniture that complies with current safety regulations.

The brand

The brand of your trundle bed can also be important. By favoring a brand specialized in furniture making, particularly children's furniture, you are assured of turning to a company that knows the field perfectly and will therefore offer you quality products.

If in doubt, you can take a look at online reviews to get a better idea about the product itself, as well as the services offered by the brand.

The style

In terms of style, it's up to you to see what best matches your desires and your child's room decoration. We recommend opting for neutral colors like white, wood, etc. This way, if you decide to change the decorative style of your child's room, you won't need to replace their bed. This piece of furniture can thus adapt to many different decorative styles over the years.

The price

Finally, the price question is also central when wanting to purchase furniture. Generally, you should expect to pay between 350 euros and 800 euros for a quality trundle bed. This is a wide range that will allow all budgets to find something suitable from the best brands.
