Finding Full Size Trundle Beds That Are Economical and Functional
If you have a room that needs to accommodate multiple sleeping guests, there are lots of solutions you can go with. However one great solution that is often overlooked are full size trundle beds. A trundle bed is a regular bed that has an auxiliary bed underneath that slides out when ready for use. They come in all types of styles and sizes, including trundle beds for kids.
Some of the more popular versions are full size trundle beds. These are just as they are described, full size beds with a trundle underneath. With these, you get all the benefits and comfort of a full size bed, with an extra bed underneath. If you have a room that really can only accommodate a full size bed (as opposed to two twins or a queen or king), this ends up being a great way to accommodate two guests.
Choosing Full Size Trundle Beds
Finding full size trundle beds is not difficult either, as more are available today than ever. In fact if you shop online, you’ll be amazed at the selection online. One factor you’ll want to consider is the construction material. We generally recommend a sturdy material such as strong wood, rather than flimsy metals or even iron. Wood finishes also look great and come in a variety of colors such as oak, cherry, pine, and espresso.
One thing to keep in mind is the dimensions. Even though the term ‘full size’ is used liberally, the beds will actually all be quite different in size. Be sure to check the dimensions of the bed to make sure they fit the room you are planning to put it in. Also note that trundle beds will usually be slightly higher than regular beds, this is a consequence of having to clear the lower slide out bed.
The lower bed usually slides out easily and is generally the same size as the upper full bed. It will be close to the ground, but usually comfortable and again perfect for handling a separate guest. And the convenience and space saving advantages are great.
As far as brands, there are several that we like. One to take a look at is the Modern San Marino Collection Full Size Bed with Trundle. This bed has the added feature of drawers, which is great especially for kids.
Another model that we recommend you consider is the Powell Full Size Bed with Trundle. This bed also features drawers and can come in a twin size if you prefer. The pine finish looks great in most rooms.
So if you are looking for a great solution to sleeping multiple guests in a room that can’t hold multiple beds, consider full size trundle beds as an option!
