Trundle Bed Bedding Sets

Whether trundle bed bedding sets should match is entirely subjective. These beds, which tuck away underneath another bed, are a great space saver if you don’t have a lot of room in one of your bedrooms but would like to accommodate multiple guests.

Trundles differ from regular beds in a couple of ways. They do not have box springs, so this accommodation is not ideal for those with bad backs. A trundle mattress is not the same size as a standard twin mattress, typically five inches longer. The size difference can make it hard to find identical bedding for both the top and bottom levels of the trundle bed, so instead, look for trundle bedding sets that complement the standard bedding in color or design.

You can mix and match using a similar color palette for a cohesive look once your trundle bed is fully extended. If you have navy-and-white striped sheets for the regular bed above, try mixing another pattern in the same colors for the trundle bedding, like navy-and-white polka-dotted sheets.

Trundle bed bedding sets usually come in twin sizes, as that’s the most common size for a trundle bed itself! You’ll want to measure your bed to make sure you’re purchasing something that will actually fit, but that should be a good guess.

A typical twin bedding set measures 39” by 75”; if your trundle is approximately that size, purchase a twin set. It’s always better to buy a size slightly larger—a full, for example—than smaller.
