Trundle Beds

Shop Affordable Trundle Beds

Our cheap trundle beds solve a specific bedroom challenge: adding a second sleeping surface that stores completely below the main bed when it is not needed. The collection covers beds with a built-in pull-out trundle base, daybed formats with a roll-out lower bed, and standalone trundle drawer sets designed to work alongside compatible base frames. Whether you are setting up a children's bedroom that needs to handle regular sleepovers or a guest room that cannot permanently accommodate two beds, a trundle provides the capacity without the footprint. Our bed frames range covers the broader category for comparison, while our kids bed frames with trundle functionality are among the most popular designs for families fitting out a shared or flexible bedroom. Sizes span single through to queen, and our cheap trundle beds earn strong reviews for build quality and practical value.

Where Trundle Beds Work Best

Trundle beds fill a particular role in the bedroom that most other furniture types cannot replicate cleanly. The second sleeping surface stays hidden when the room is in standard use, which means the floor plan does not change to accommodate it. This makes trundles well suited to spaces that serve more than one function: a child's bedroom that also operates as a playroom, a guest room that doubles as a study, or a holiday home where sleeping capacity needs to scale with occupancy. Compared to bunk beds, trundles keep both sleeping surfaces at or close to floor level, which removes the height safety considerations associated with upper bunks and makes them a more suitable option for younger children. Our kids bedroom furniture collection covers a range of pieces that work alongside trundle beds for those building out a full children's room. Our kids bunk beds are worth looking at as a direct comparison for households where two children share a room permanently and ceiling clearance allows for the upper tier.

The Different Formats in This Collection

The trundle beds in our range cover several distinct formats, each suited to a different room context and intended user. The house bed style uses a timber frame with a pitched roof outline above the sleeping area and a pull-out trundle beneath, making it a popular choice for younger children's rooms where the playful aesthetic is part of the brief. Our house bed frames collection covers this style in more depth for those specifically drawn to the design. Daybed formats present as a standard single-profile bed that can be used for sitting or resting during the day, with a second pull-out sleeping surface stored below. Standard trundle designs sit beneath the main frame on a rolling base and pull out to one side when needed. The collection also includes standalone trundle drawer sets that slide beneath select compatible frames, which is a practical option for those who want to add a second sleeping surface to an existing bed without replacing the frame. Those looking for a simpler single sleeping arrangement without a trundle mechanism will find a broader selection in our single bed frames range across both timber and metal options.

Timber and Metal Across the Trundle Range

Trundle beds in our collection are available in both timber and metal construction, and the material choice shapes how the frame sits within the room's overall aesthetic. White painted pine is the most widely represented finish in this category. It creates a bright, clean look that coordinates easily with most bedroom colour schemes and suits both children's rooms and coastal-influenced guest spaces. Oak and natural timber tones sit at the warmer end of the palette, giving the room a more grounded quality that works well in relaxed or Scandi-influenced interiors. Our timber bed frames collection covers a broader selection of wooden frame designs across all sizes for those who want to see the full range. Metal frames appear across the trundle range in black finishes and suit teen bedrooms and more contemporary guest spaces where a softer, more decorative timber aesthetic is not the priority. Our metal bed frames range covers additional metal options and sizes beyond this category.

Mattresses and Completing the Bedroom Setup

A trundle bed requires two mattresses, and it is worth planning both before purchasing the frame. The pull-out tier typically has a lower maximum mattress depth than the main bed because the trundle needs enough vertical clearance to slide in and out freely. Checking the product listing for the maximum depth for the trundle tier before buying separately helps avoid compatibility issues later. Our mattresses range covers options across different thicknesses and sizes, making it straightforward to find a main-bed mattress and a shallower option for the trundle from the same range. For those building out a full children's bedroom around a trundle frame, our kids bedroom packages cover coordinated options that pair a bed and mattress together, reducing the number of individual decisions involved in completing the room.

How do I choose a trundle bed for kids or guests?

Choose based on how often it will be used and who will sleep on it. For regular use, prioritise a sturdy frame and an easy roll-out mechanism. For occasional guests, focus on a simple design that stores neatly. Check the listing for the trundle height and whether it sits low or can rise to match the main bed.

What room and pull-out clearance should I measure before ordering?

Measure the bed’s footprint in the room, then measure the full length and width needed when the trundle is pulled out. Allow extra clearance so you can walk around it and open nearby doors or drawers. Check the product listing for the trundle pull-out direction and overall extended dimensions before you buy.

Which sizes should the main and trundle mattresses be for best fit?

Match the mattress sizes to what the listing specifies for both the main bed and the trundle, as trundles often have a lower height limit. Check the maximum mattress thickness for the trundle so it can slide in and out smoothly. If you already have mattresses, compare their exact dimensions and heights to the specs.

Do trundle beds arrive flat packed, and what assembly tools are needed?

Most trundle beds arrive flat packed for easier shipping. Instructions and tools are included. Assembly usually involves building the main frame, then the trundle base and wheels. Set aside space to lay out parts, and two people makes it quicker, especially for larger frames. If you'd prefer a hand, our partnership with Airtasker makes it easy to find a local professional to help.
