10 Advantages of Trundle Beds in Kids' Rooms

At Muba, we're committed to giving our customers the most complete and useful information when choosing furniture for children's rooms.

If you live in Europe (Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland, etc.) or in the Americas, this will sound familiar, whether you're a mum or a designer.

In a previous article we shared our tips for choosing the perfect trundle bed. This time, we'll dive into the advantages of trundle beds. These versatile, practical beds have won over families and professionals alike, and here we'll show you why they're a smart choice for parents and grandparents.

But first, let's look at the difference between a trundle bed and a trundle bed on wheels, so you know when to use each one.

DO TRUNDLE BEDS HAVE DIFFERENT USES DEPENDING ON THE COUNTRY OR CITY?

The answer is yes. Of course it doesn't apply in every case, but in Spain and Latin America people generally buy a trundle bed on wheels for a room shared by siblings. In the early years, the family can enjoy the advantages of a trundle bed without having to build an extension or move house.

In cities such as London, Paris or New York, where flats are small, trundle beds are used to make the most of the space and so that the children's friends can sleep over. In Germany, Switzerland or Austria, on the other hand, homes are larger than in other European countries, and the idea of having a space to spend time with your child, read books together or invite friends over matters more.

When to choose a static trundle bed:

  1. Fixed layout: If the room has a fixed layout and you don't need to move the bed often, a static trundle bed may be the right choice. These beds are ideal for rooms that don't need rearranging very often.

  2. Stability: Static trundle beds tend to be more stable than beds on wheels, which can matter if your children move around a lot in their sleep.

  3. Decor style: If you want a bed that blends seamlessly into the room's decor and doesn't need to move, a static trundle bed may be the right choice.

When to use a trundle bed on wheels:

  1. Flexible space: If you often need to rearrange the room or use the bed in different areas, a trundle bed on wheels is an excellent option. It offers greater mobility and versatility.

  2. Easy cleaning: If you value easy cleaning and being able to reach the areas under the bed easily, trundle beds on wheels are ideal.

  3. Dual use: If you want to use the bed as a sofa or armchair during the day, our trundle beds on wheels are designed for exactly that, which can be a real plus in small spaces or multi-purpose rooms.

  4. For guests: If you plan to have guests regularly and want to be able to push two single beds together into a temporary double bed, a trundle bed on wheels that offers this option can be a practical choice.

Both options have their advantages and both are excellent; your decision should come down to which one best fits your lifestyle and your interior design needs.

ADVANTAGES OF TRUNDLE BEDS IN CHILDREN'S BEDROOMS

1. Space saving: Trundle beds are ideal for small or shared rooms. The lower bed is stored under the main one, so you can make efficient use of the space during the day.

2. Time together with your children: Mums and dads love reading stories with their children and spending quality time together. The Nido Móvil is ideal for this: you can lie down on the bed next to theirs and tell stories.

3. The perfect bed for having friends over: Children often invite their friends to stay the night, and as they get older sleepovers become common. You don't need extra mattresses, which is a bonus.

4. Sharing a room with siblings: If you have two or more children, trundle beds are ideal for them to sleep in the same room without taking up too much space.

5. Easier for mums: Having a little friend to stay is no longer a hassle for mums. With the Nido Móvil, you don't have to bend down, pull the bed out and lift it up as you do with a standard trundle bed. The bed is always made!

6. Extra storage: Trundle beds with drawers give you space to store clothes, toys, sheets and more. For children, having a trundle bed can also be a way to learn to take responsibility for putting things away and keeping their space tidy.

7. Value for money: Compared with buying two single beds separately, trundle beds are usually the more affordable option, which makes them a cost-effective solution. They're also a long-lasting investment, as they adapt as your children grow.

8. Perfect for older people: A trundle bed is a versatile way to put up older relatives when they come to visit their grandchildren. There's no bunk bed ladder to climb, and it's easier for them both to get into bed and to get up in the middle of the night.

9. Style and versatility: Trundle beds come in a wide range of colours and designs to suit any room's decor. Their compact, practical design makes them ideal for children's or teenagers' rooms, as they can be used as a sofa by day and a bed at night. This lets you customise the look of the room to suit your taste.

10. A stepping stone from cot to bed: For some parents, trundle beds are an excellent way to move from the cot to a big bed, as they're comfortable, compact and a good interim solution, which makes the transition easier without causing sleepless nights.

Extra: Many grandparents have professional careers and may well have a spare room at home. When the grandchildren come to stay, a trundle bed in that room is a better choice than a sofa bed.
