    5 Advantages of Guest Beds

    Have you got a bedroom that is too small for a double bed but you desperately want more sleeping space? Then we’ve got just the bed you need. Say hello to our selections of guest beds that could solve all your small bedroom woes. A guest bed is quite simply a single bed that houses another bed underneath. Nifty, eh? We thought you’d be impressed! There are a number of advantages of guest beds and we’re here to tell you exactly what they are. If you can’t wait to find your guest bed today then just click here.

    Advantages of Guest Beds

    1. Two in One

    Without a doubt, one of the biggest advantages of guest beds is that they are quite literally two beds in one. When not in use a guest bed looks like just any other single bed. Indeed, without the trundle bed below they would be exactly that, a single bed. However, with a trundle stored neatly below they have they ability to transform into a bed that is capable of sleeping two.

    2. Take Up Minimal Space

    Because a guest bed when not in use is essentially a single bed, these beds take up a minimal amount of floor space. This is just what you need if you have a bedroom where space is limited. Indeed, a lot of houses have one small bedroom that could benefit from this type of bed. If you need to maximise every square inch of your bedroom then a divan style bed would be your best option. This is because the mattress sits directly on top of the base. This means you don’t have to allow for any extra space as in the case of a framed bed. If you prefer the look of a framed style guest bed then you should always check the external measurements first. These can be located easily on our website.

    3. Trundle Beds Can Be Moved to Other Rooms

    Another one of the advantages of guest beds is that both beds can also be used independently of each other. For example, you may have a couple of guest who need to be accommodated in different rooms. In such a case, the trundle bed can easily be moved to another room without much inconvenience.

    4. Perfect For Children

    Lots of children love to have sleepovers with their pals and who can blame them! Who doesn’t remember the fun of having a sleepover with your best friend? With a guest bed you can quickly have another bed for these memorable get togethers. Plus sleeping on a guest bed is so much more comfortable than blow up beds and other temporary solutions.

    5. Extra Storage

    Some of our guest beds also offer extra storage too. Without a doubt these beds really know how to pull out all the stops! Let’s be honest, extra storage space in a small bedroom can often invaluable. The only draw back to these types of beds is that the trundle bed only pulls out and not up. This means that it can’t be used as double bed. Arguably this type of bed is most often used in a child’s bedroom.
