Bellemave Daybed with Pop-Up Trundle

Pros and cons

ProsCons
Can be used as both a pop-out and pull-out trundleNot suitable for heavier individuals
Good for both kids and adultsThe Twin to King size may not fit very small spaces
Made of solid pine wood

Meant to be used in lounges and living rooms, the Bellemave Daybed with Pop-up Trundle turns into both a twin size and king size bed whenever you need extra sleeping space. It has the components of both a pop-up trundle bed as well as a pull-out one.

While moonlighting as a rather large bed during the night, daybeds are also great for those daytime siestas and is spacious enough to fit more than a few people as a sofa.

Crafted from premium quality pine wood, the Bellemave Daybed with Trundle is made up of a strong, durable bed frame that can hold up to 2 average weight sleepers on the main bed and 1 average sized sleeper on the accompanying trundle. The simple yet sturdy bed frame comes with wood slats for extra support. These wooden slats also ensure that air circulates freely around your trundle bed mattress to help it keep fresh and free from any mold or mildew.

The Bellemave Daybed with Trundle features a Twin to King design. This means that the daybed can be expanded from a Twin size to a King-sized bed. The Twin size trundle daybed is well-suited for kids, especially if they host regular slumber parties. The King-sized pop-up trundle bed is a great size for adult guests. If you’re someone who constantly has an influx of overnight guests and you don’t have much space, the Bellemave Daybed could be an excellent choice in helping you maximize it.

But what sets the Bellemave Daybed apart from all the other trundle beds is the fact that it features both a pop-up and pull-out trundle design. Once you’ve utilized the pop-up Twin to King extension, the extending daybed also has a pull-out trundle with built-in casters for even more sleeping space. We found that the casters run smooth when pulled and we also found no trouble at all pulling out both the extending pop-up trundle as well as the pull-out trundle.

If you do not need the accompanying pull-out trundle, Bellemave gives you the option to choose drawers in its place. This gives you even more storage space. Since it’s made of all wood, we found that the Bellemave daybed was substantially heavier than other trundle beds, especially ones made from steel and metal.

Both the daybed can the pop-up extension can fit a Twin XL mattress up to 4 inches in thickness, while the pull-out trundle can fit a Twin. The Bellemave Daybed does not come with mattresses however and these are sold separately.

The Bellemave Daybed comes in three color options: white, espresso and gray. These neutral colors can complement any design or decor you may already have in your home. It comes with concise but thorough instructions for easy assembly.

Do make sure to measure your space before ordering any type of trundle bed to ensure that it fits. The Bellemave Daybed comes with a warranty and return policy in accordance with its authorized reseller’s own policies.

Pros and cons

ProsCons
Makes up a bigger King-sized bedNot suitable for heavier individuals
Wheels safely lock inIndustrial aesthetic may not be for everyone
Great for couples

If you prefer a daybed that’s a bit more portable and can easily be moved across rooms (such as guest room to home office), you might want to look into the Polibi Metal Daybed with Adjustable Trundle.

The Polibi Daybed features an all-metal design that’s both lightweight and sturdy. It only, however, comes in only one color, black. It does have a very neo-industrial look to it, with its faucet style piping, but we feel that it would suit any type of aesthetic your home or room may have, depending on how you dress up your daybed.

The Polibi Daybed is quite versatile. It features a pop-up trundle, which means the extension pops up and rises to the same level as the daybed, making up a bigger bed. The trundle is equipped with fixed braces which makes it easily rise to the height of the bed. This is a good option for couples. You also have the option to leave the extension below, thus making a pull-out trundle. The pull-out extension has wheels which can be locked for easier accessibility.

Both the day bed and the trundle can fit two twin-sized mattresses. When used as a pop-up trundle, it makes up a King-sized bed. Mattresses are sold separately. Or you could DIY your own.

The Polibi’s weight capacity can hold up to 220 lbs. only, this means this pop-up trundle bed may not be the best option for heavier individuals. For temporary overnight guests who weigh substantially heavier than average, we suggest looking into Japanese Futons as an alternative.

Out of all the metal trundles we have tried on the market today, the Polibi Daybed is one of the sturdiest. Most all-metal pop-up trundle beds tend to be a bit on the flimsy side. There was certainly no danger of the bed caving in or toppling over with the Polibi Daybed with Adjustable Trundle.

A pop-up and pull-out combination gives you more sleeping options than a regular trundle bed and is an excellent choice for both children and adults alike.

The Polibi Daybed’s warranty and return policies are based on the authorized reseller’s policies. For a moderately priced trundle bed, we found the Polibi to deliver what they claim.

Pros and cons

ProsCons
Doubles as a very comfy couchCan get dirty easily due to fabric upholstery
Pretty French country designNot suitable for heavier individuals
Comes with a 90 day return policy

If you prefer a trundle daybed that looks more like an actual couch in the daytime, you might want to look into getting an upholstered model. The Hillsdale Furniture Jamie Tufted Daybed features tufted upholstery from the headboard down to its sides as well as a fully tufted back.

Made of durable hardwood, the entire daybed is covered in a thick yet soft fabric that comes in 3 color options: grey, cream and blush. The wheels on the pull-out trundle bed matches the color scheme of whichever option you choose. The French Country design of the Jamie Tufted Daybed makes it so that it can even act as an accent piece for either your living room or home office.

Both the daybed and trundle bed can hold up to 230 lbs. This means that this day bed may not be able to provide enough support for those who weigh a bit more. Additionally, improper use of both the daybed and the pull-out trundle may result either premature mattress sag or the bed itself giving out before its time.

The Hillsdale Furniture Jamie Tufted Daybed requires two Twin mattresses. Mattresses are not included when you purchase the Jamie Tufted Daybed. Although you can use mattresses of the same size on both the daybed and pull-out trundle, we discovered that you can use also use a Twin XL mattress on the daybed, but not on the pull-out trundle. This is entirely up to you on whether you want to use a combination of both or stick to Twin sizes.

Since fabric upholstery can gather dust and dander as well as get stained or dirtied easily, regular cleaning may be required but please make sure to use non-abrasive cleaners. If you live in an exceptionally dusty area, you may need to dust daily with a dry cloth or duster. You may also spot clean for any spills or accidents. We also recommend the use of mattress protectors to extend the longevity of the mattresses you choose for your daybed and trundle.

The return policy as well as warranty for the Hillsdale Furniture Jamie Tufted Daybed will depend on where you purchase your daybed from. Walmart offers a 90 day return policy. While the Jamie Tufted Daybed may cost a bit more than the other upholstered daybeds on the market, we found that we got a really great value for money with all that it had to offer. A lot of authorized sellers also offer deals on Hillsdale furniture.

Pros and cons

ProsCons
Modern industrial designNot suitable for heavier sleepers
Great for home officeComes in only one color
Not made from real leather

If you prefer something a little less feminine but still want an upholstered daybed, you might want to look into the DHP Astoria Metal and Upholstered Daybed with Trundle. Featuring a pull-out trundle bed design, the DHP Astoria is covered in faux leather upholstery that can complement the home decor of those who lean more towards modern design and style.

Both the metal frame and upholstery of the DHP Astoria come in only one color, which is black. If you need something with a bit more color, you may want to look into the other options included in this article. On the other hand, you can always dress up your daybed with pillows and throws.

The pull-out trundle bed of the DHP Astoria features small wheels that roll in and out easily. We also did not experience any trouble of any unwanted rolling as the bed locks in place once it’s out. A lot of pull-out trundle beds can have this problem so always make sure that any pop-up trundle bed or pull-out trundle bed you choose would have a lock feature. This is especially important if you have a sleeper who tends to move around the bed throughout the night.

Like most standard daybeds and trundles, the DHP Astoria takes two Twin-sized mattresses. You need to purchase the mattresses separately. Make sure you use mattress protectors once you get your new mattresses.

Both the daybed and trundle bed can take up to 400 lbs combined. This means each bed can comfortably accommodate sleepers of up to 200 lbs. If you have a guest who weighs a touch higher than 200 lbs., you may just want to give up your bed for a night or two and switch. This ensures the longevity of your DHP Astoria Daybed and Trundle.

The DHP Astoria comes with a 1 year warranty. Return policies vary per authorized reseller of the brand. Do endure that you have the correct measurements of your room before purchasing.

Camaflexi Mid-Century Modern Daybed with Trundle

Pros and cons

ProsCons
Made of 100% solid woodCan be a bit too heavy
Can accommodate heavier individualsAssembly may require 2 people
Beautiful mid-century design

If you’re like me and prefer something a little more rustic, the Camaflexi Mid-Century Modern Daybed and Trundle may just be your cup of tea. Made from 100% solid wood, the Camaflexi Daybed can accommodate a high weight capacity of up to 250 lbs, making it a good option for heavier individuals.

The natural variations in the wood grain of the Camaflexi Daybed are highlighted by a protective Castanho (chestnut) finish. It also features a wooden, panel headboard and round tapering legs giving it a rustic, yet refined look.

You won’t need a box spring for the Camaflexi Daybed. Both the daybed and pull-out trundle bed feature wide wooden slats as well as a supportive wood center to securely hold the mattresses in place. Using wooden slats can improve a matress’ lifespan by reducing the strain on your mattress as well as providing better air circulation.

Both beds require Twin mattresses, which do not come included. These you would have to buy separately. The Camaflexi Daybed can take mattresses that are up to 9 inches in thickness but we suggest using 7 in the trundle, especially if you plan on using a thicker sheet.

The pull-out trundle in the Camaflexi Daybed has four rolling wheels that are hidden by its front wood panel. Camaflexi suggests not using the Daybed under thick carpeting, as this may affect the ease of rolling out the trundle. Upon trying it out, we found it to be true so do make sure that the room you plan to use the daybed in won’t be covered in thick carpeting.

Read our article on how a trundle bed works for more details.

Assembling the Camaflexi Daybed is pretty straightforward, although you may need an extra pair of hands as the wood could be a bit heavy. Screws and instructions are included with the Daybed.

Warranty and return policies depend on the authorized reseller you will be buying it from.
