The Versatile Daybed Pop Up Trundle

If you are looking to add some additional sleeping space to your room, the daybed pop up trundle combo is the way to go! You not only get sleeping space for two that only takes up space for one when not in use, but you also have options of where to sleep that second person.

The daybed pop up trundle is the easiest to use of the various trundle options.  You just slide it out from under the bed, raise it to its normal height, and lock it into position.  With a little bit of practice, you can probably do it with just one hand!  No need to flip it all around while opening up the legs like with a lift up trundle unit.  And because it is not a trundle drawer version, you can move the trundle bed wherever it is needed.

Most people think that when you set up your pop up trundle bed that you will put it alongside the daybed itself.  Obviously this is an option, and probably the most preferred one if you are sleeping adults in the daybed.  Simply line the two beds up together and you have the equivalent of a king-size bed.  You can use either 2 twin-size sheet sets or you can use a king-size set.  Then in the morning, strip the bedsheets, lower the trundle bed, slide it back under the daybed, and your room is back to normal.

But with your daybed pop up trundle, you have OPTIONS!  You can slide the trundle out from under the daybed but leave it at ground level ... great for when sleeping smaller children.  Or you can raise the bed and put it anywhere else in the room where it fits better.  Or, you can even put it in another room if you need to.  Just be sure to not pop it up until you have it where you want it as the open trundle bed will be more difficult to move.

If you're thinking about adding additional sleeping space somewhere in your house but are concerned that you really don't have room to dedicate solely to sleeping the occasional guest, a daybed pop up trundle arrangement is by far your best bet.  For the space of one bed, you get two beds ... and you are not even required to sleep both those guests in the same room.  Underneath the daybed is built-in storage space for your trundle bed so you won't even have to find somewhere to store your extra bed.
