Buying Guide

If you want to foster reading in bed, but you don’t have the space for a bookcase and you want to have an extra bed on hand when a guest comes, then get a trundle bed with bookcase headboard. The reason a trundle bed is a space-saver is that it slides out on rollers from underneath the bed that’s above it. The typical product of this type is the size of a twin bed. However, full-size ones are available. If you live in a small apartment, a home that has small rooms or have house guests often, it could be just what you need.

Why get a trundle bed with bookcase headboard?

Many parents choose a trundle bed with bookcase headboard for young children, teens and those who are college age. It’s one way of instilling a reading habit in students by trying to steer them away from electronics for a period of time each day.

If your child is not a reader and learns by doing, then the bookcase can be a storage area for all the things that he or she needs to keep busy and content. Some beds come with drawers below that provide storage space for items. It’s not uncommon to see a unit with six drawers. Other beds have cabinets or cupboards for storage.

Additional reasons to get a trundle bed are:

Young children won’t fall out of it and hurt themselves because the bed sits low on the floor.
With so much storage space, you can use it to help any room look tidier and better organized.
Sleepovers are a lot easier with a trundle bed.

What are trundle bed components made of?

Some trundle beds with bookcase headboard are made of solid wood. Other units might be made of a wood composite. The keys to buying the right bed are examining it, asking the seller questions and reading online reviews.

What type of mattress works best with a trundle bed?

The typical mattress on a trundle bed is not as thick as the one on a traditional bed and the bed does not have a box spring. If you decide that you need a mattress with better support, shop around. Look into whether a memory foam mattress, which shapes itself to the contours of your body, could serve your needs. Another suggestion is for an innerspring foam mattress which enclosed the springs in fabric.

What are the most common styles and colors of trundle beds?

A trundle bed with bookcase headboard may be either low-profile or high-profile, as some bookcases rise high and others stand low. As for the colors, they include white, gray or blue. Many units for younger children come in lighter colors, although you can find them with darker finishes such as black and cherry too.

A trundle bed with bookcase headboard makes it possible for your children or your guests to relax while they are surrounded by reading matter or items that they like to look at or tinker with. Conserving space does not have to mean giving up comfort.
