Trundle Bed Buying Guide
Trundle beds date back to castles and manors of England and Europe, where pallet-like beds mounted on wheels were provided for servants. These trundle or truckle beds were often placed next to members or the royal family so servants could guard, protect, and serve throughout the night; trundle beds could be rolled away in the morning. Later, trundle beds were used as space-savers in colonial homes. While still used for servants, they were then an alternative to several children sleeping in one bed. Today's trundle beds are elegantly designed, and they provide extra sleeping room in any size of home.
