My home place is nestled in the woods, really close to the river. Since I moved here I seem to have more overnight guests at least a few weekends out of the year. It seems everyone loves to stay out here in the woods and close to the river. Some even want to spend their holiday here!
I have a large loft area which is part of a two-story cottage style home. This area is the master bedroom suite. I have a four-posted queen size bed in it. It’s a beauty…but also quite large and takes up the whole room…almost!
The lower level has a full bath and two small bedrooms. The larger of the two bedrooms is my daughters.
I had to decide how I was going to set up the smaller bedroom to accommodate the number of guests I expect to have.
It would really be cramped with a full size bed. I considered bunk beds, but that wouldn’t really suit most of the company I usually have.
I also wanted to use this space as a small office area so I also considered a sofa sleeper, but most of them were too large and the mattresses aren’t very comfortable. I was looking on line for a solution when I came across this
I looked at many day beds and discovered these really nice trundle beds. This one is a twin size bed that is a bit higher off the floor to accommodate a trundle bed frame to slide underneath it.
The trundle bed frames are designed to pop up and be the same height as the twin bed when they are pulled out. When the trundle bed frames are raised and connected to the twin bed they create a king size bed. The trundle bed frames can also remain lowered to create a second twin size sleeping area.
I went with the
Casey Honey Maple Finish Twin Day Bed Trundle
This seemed like a great solution for such a small room. I chose the maple wood frame day bed but others were available.
I had some cushions that I placed against the back frame so that when the bed is not needed it can be used like a sofa.
This looks very nice in the small room and creates a comfortable sleeping space for one or two people when needed. I highly recommend this Trundle bed and for my little place in the woods this turned out to be the best alternative to accommodate guests.
I also found the following trundle very appealing.
