Guest Beds

Guest beds help you welcome visitors without needing a full-sized permanent bed. Whether you host often or just occasionally, the right guest bed can make overnight stays easy, comfortable and stylish — even in small rooms. Below, we’ve answered the most common questions to help you choose the perfect one.

A guest bed is a multi-purpose bed designed to save space while still providing comfortable sleep for visitors. They typically include:

• A primary bed frame (usually a single)
• A hidden pull-out mattress or second bed beneath
  

This makes it ideal for guest rooms, home offices or kids’ rooms where space is limited.

There are several bed styles to choose from, depending on your space and needs:

Pull-Out Trundle:

Perfect for last-minute sleepovers, this option features a hidden second bed that can be pulled out when needed.

Day Bed with Trundle:

Ideal for multi-use rooms, it functions as a sofa by day and a bed by night, offering great versatility.

Fold-Out Frame:

A smart choice for compact homes, this style folds and stores away easily, saving valuable floor space.

Small Double:

Best for regular adult guests, offering a balance of comfort and roominess without taking up too much space.

If you frequently host two adults, go for a trundle or small double for the best comfort and practicality.
