• Space-saving: A bunk bed with a trundle can be an excellent solution for a small bedroom or a shared kids' room, as it can provide sleeping accommodations for three people in a compact footprint. This can free up floor space for other activities, such as play or study.
• Versatile: The trundle bed can be used as a guest bed, or can be used for sleepovers or when hosting family members. The trundle may have a slatted base or a solid base. For those trundles with a solid base they can alternatively be used for storage rather than as an extra sleeping space and can hold a large volume of clothes, toys, games or linens. They offer valuable extra storage in a child’s bedroom.
• Affordable: A bunk bed with a trundle can be a more affordable option than purchasing separate beds or a larger bed that can accommodate three people. A bunk bed with trundle can typically cost the same as a mid sleeper or high sleeper yet allows sleeping space for not just one child but 3.
• Comfortable: With a trundle bed, there's no need to share a bed or squeeze into a smaller bed. The extra bed can be pulled out when needed, providing a comfortable sleeping space for an additional person. This is particularly handy when accommodating several children for those all important sleepover events. Being able to comfortably sleep all your guests in their own bed makes for a more restful night’s sleep.
• Convenient:Trundle beds are convenient because they can be easily stored when not in use. The underneath bed can be tucked away under the main bed, freeing up floor space for other activities.
• Fun: For children, a trundle bed can be a fun and exciting feature, as it offers a unique sleeping arrangement and can feel like a secret hideaway.

Overall, a bunk bed with a trundle can be a great option for those who need to accommodate multiple people in a small space or who want a versatile sleeping arrangement. Trundle beds are a practical and cost-effective solution for those who need an extra sleeping surface without sacrificing space or comfort. However, it's important to consider the accessibility of the trundle bed, headroom, storage, and safety when deciding whether a bunk bed with a trundle is the right choice for you.

Alternatively, the trundle drawer may be used as a storage drawer. If the base of the trundle has a solid base rather than a slatted base it can be used as a storage drawer rather than an occasional guest bed. Having such a large drawer under the bunk bed is perfect for storage and can keep clothes, bed linen, games and toys neatly tucked away with the advantage of being easily accessible at any time.

Another consideration if you have 2 children sharing a bedroom, is the age of the children. The recommended age for the top bunk is age 6 and above.

Typically bunk beds are chosen for smaller bedrooms to make the most of the bedroom space. Adding a trundle allows an extra bed in a relatively small space to allow sleeping space for 3 children. A bunk bed with trundle is often the choice of grandparents who have grandchildren who come and stay regularly. By choosing a bunk bed with trundle they can fit 3 grandchildren into one bedroom easily and this is also a great adventure for the grandchildren who are visiting.
