Tired of sleeping on the couch, while your two
siblings occupy the double bed? If yes, then you would realize that even
a double bed falls short, when it comes to three occupants. To bring you
out of such an uncomfortable situation, we have provided a solution -
Trundle Bed. It is basically a bed on wheels. The whole idea is to have
a spare bed which can be efficiently stored, when not required. Trundle
beds are usually a pair of beds, wherein one bed is slightly smaller in
size than the twin bed. The small bed is on rollers or casters and is
put beneath the upper twin bed for storage. At times of need, you just
need to pull out the bed and sleep!!
As A Space Saver
An effective space-saving technique, trundle beds allows you to have two
separate beds at the time of necessity, without blocking the space
constantly. Since the beds are stored one beneath the other, neither of
the bed have a box-spring. When not used for sleeping, the mattress of
the lower bed can be removed and it can be used, as a general storage
drawer. If you have a guest for the night, trundle beds can prove to be
just the right option. It also serves as a great solution for children's
'sleepover' parties.
Trundle bed allows the room to be spacious during the day and
comfortable at night. Occupying less space, it gives the children
opportunity to play about freely in the room and enjoy time with
friends, without feeling cramped. Apart from the number of varieties of
trundle bed available, there are various types as well such as single
beds, twin beds and full size ones. The lower bed on some trundle beds
can 'pop-up' to be of the same height, as the bed they are stored
beneath, creating a larger bed that may be used for guests.
Trundle Bed Vs Bunk Bed - The Choice
When it comes to furnishing a kids bedroom, bunk beds are the most
picked varieties. Bunk beds are beneficial in terms of saving space and
also create a lot of fun, excitement and thrill for the kid. Children
have since long, enjoyed the idea of sleeping on the top bunk, as it
feels like climbing a tower. However, the nuances of bunk bed cannot be
ruled out and are a cause for concern for all parents. Firstly, the bunk
beds are not as sturdy as parents would hope them to be, causing safety
concern.
Since only either of the siblings, can sleep on the top bunk, there is
always a constant fight, as to who would sleep there - something that
creeps in jealousy and rivalry between the two children. The best bet in
such a circumstance would be to go for trundle bed. Easy to handle and
simple to maintain, these beds are sturdy unlike the former ones,
thereby resolving the safety concerns for the children. However, the
argument of who would sleep on the trundle still persists. So, the best
option would be to switch the two siblings back and forth, every time
the sheets are washed
