Indeed, the trundle bed is a very ingenious model. It's a bed that slides under another bed, allowing you to have 2 sleeping spaces in 1 at your fingertips.

There are several variants of the trundle bed: 

The first consists of placing a second bed under the main bed to create an extra sleeping space.

The second allows you to slide a storage drawer under the main bed and thus optimize space in the room.

This also allows your child to easily invite friends to sleep over.

A trundle bed is a bed on wheels that can be stored under a larger bed. It's the perfect solution for inviting guests to sleep in a small space as it takes up very little room when not in use.

To optimize space, the trundle bed can also become a storage area. Well hidden under the main bed, you can slide in a drawer.

The trundle bed is not only dedicated to children's rooms; if you opt for a daybed, it will fit perfectly in a guest room, landing, etc., giving the illusion of a small sofa that actually hides 2 sleeping spaces.
