11 Best Daybeds with a Trundle for Guest Rooms
Published 09/12/2026
Daybeds look like a sofa during the day and sleep one guest at night, with a second mattress hidden in a trundle. Twin metal and wood frames are included, with pop-up and roll-out trundles and a couple with LED lights. A pop-up trundle rises level with the daybed to make one wide bed, and a roll-out stays low, which matters if two guests share the room.

HS score
Methodology: The House Staples Score is our editorial rating, out of 5, of how well a product suits this guide, weighing its build, materials, size, and value against the others we compared. It is separate from customer star ratings. | 4.6 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.4 | 4.4 | 4.3 | 4.2 | 4.2 | 4.1 | 4.1 | 4.0 |
| Notes | Measure for an 83-inch by 43-inch footprint, since the main bed is longer and wider than a standard twin. · Because the arms and back are upholstered, keep the bed away from a radiator or a sunny window that could fade or dry out the fabric. | Measure the wall before you commit, because the headboard shelf adds depth behind the mattress that a flat metal headboard does not. · Keep the charging side near an outlet so the built-in ports are worth having rather than decorative. | At 41.5 inches tall the headboard end is fairly high, so avoid placing it under a window sill or low shelf. · You have to buy two twin mattresses, and the 12.6-inch trundle height means a thinner mattress will sit more easily than a thick one. | Keep the headboard near a wall outlet so the cord from the built-in station does not run across the floor. · Armrest pockets are shallow, so use them for light items and keep heavy objects on the headboard storage instead. | Leave the cord run in mind when you place it, because the charging station is only as useful as the wall socket it reaches. · The headboard uses MDF panels alongside the metal, so keep it out of a damp basement guest room where the board can swell. | Confirm on the product page whether a mattress comes with the frame before you order, because the text describes an embedded mattress design but does not say a mattress is included. · Leave enough open floor beside the daybed for the trundle to pull out fully, and lock the wheels once it is in position so it does not drift when someone climbs in. | The product text does not give a mattress thickness, so confirm the frame's allowance with the seller before buying a thick foam or hybrid mattress. · Leave room at the foot of the bed for the trundle to slide out, and keep suitcases stored beneath it pushed clear of the track. | Leave roughly a mattress width of clear floor on the pull-out side, since the lower bed needs room to roll all the way out. · The patterned headboard has open scrollwork, so pillows can slip back through it unless you push the frame to a wall. | Because the trundle lifts rather than rolling out low, keep the space above it clear of a windowsill or radiator on that side. · Check your mattress thickness before setting the height, since a very deep mattress on top can bury the low armrests. | Place the headboard against the wall that has your outlet, because the short cord limits how far you can move the bed from it. · Because the trundle is a movable roller design that converts into two single beds, leave enough floor space beside the bed to separate the two frames. | The trundle pulls out on the floor rather than popping up, so leave a clear stretch of floor beside the bed equal to the trundle's length before you buy. · Since two of the six casters do not lock, lock all four of the others every time you pull the trundle out, or it may creep on smooth flooring. |

SmartEdge Twin Size Daybed with Pop Up Trundle, Boucle Upholstered Daybed…
$314.99
The main bed measures 83 by 43 inches and the trundle measures 75.5 by 39 inches, which makes it a little larger than the metal frames and worth measuring for. The frame is reinforced wood with metal fasteners, rated for 300 pounds on the daybed and 250 pounds on the trundle, and each bed has 13 slats that snap into place. The arms are covered with soft foam under the boucle fabric, so a sleeper's head or elbow will not knock against a hard rail. It takes mattresses from 5 to 10 inches thick, which is a wider range than most of the metal frames. It is the most expensive pick here, and the lower weight ratings and fabric surface make it a better fit for light use in a guest room than for a heavily used bed.

Specs come from the product page.
Why it makes the list
- Foam-padded arms under the boucle fabric give a soft place to lean or rest your head, which bare metal rails cannot.
- Each bed has 13 snap-lock slats, so it needs no box spring and goes together without extra hardware for the slats.
- It accepts mattresses from 5 to 10 inches thick, so you can choose a thin or fairly thick mattress.
What to keep in mind
- The limits are 300 pounds for the daybed and 250 for the trundle, which are lower than the metal frames that list 350 pounds or more.
- A beige boucle surface absorbs spills and shows dirt more easily than a wiped-down powder-coated frame.

LIKIMIO Daybed with Trundle, Twin Bed Frame,White
$219.99
LIKIMIO builds this on a heavy-duty metal frame rated to 800 pounds, then softens the part you touch with a white upholstered headboard that works as a backrest when the daybed is doing sofa duty. The headboard also carries a shelf for books, a phone or a small speaker, a hanging storage bag, and charging built in, so a nightstand becomes optional in a tight room. The trundle rolls on lockable casters and rises to join the top bed, giving you two twins or one king-width surface, and four mattress slide stops keep both mattresses from wandering. Parts come labeled and the instructions are direct, which is a relief on a frame with this many pieces. Pass on it if you have pets who scratch fabric or a household that leans hard on a headboard, because upholstery marks in ways powder-coated steel does not.

Specs come from the product page.
Why it makes the list
- The upholstered headboard is padded rather than bare metal, so sitting up against it for an evening is genuinely comfortable.
- A built-in shelf and a hanging storage bag hold books and a phone, which frees up the floor in a room too narrow for a nightstand.
- Four mattress slide stops and lockable casters mean the trundle stays put once you have rolled it where you want it.
What to keep in mind
- The fabric headboard is harder to clean than a painted metal one, so it is the wrong choice in a room with a cat or a toddler with markers.
- The 800-pound rating is strong but still below the Jocoevol frame if maximum capacity is what you are shopping on.

GarveeHome Daybed with Trundle, Twin Daybed with Pop Up Trundle Set,Brown
$209.99
The daybed measures 78.2 inches long, 41.6 inches wide, and 41.5 inches tall, and the trundle measures 73.6 by 38.9 by 12.6 inches, so you can tape the footprint on the floor before ordering. Steel supports and metal slats carry the mattress without a box spring, and the mattress sits in an embedded structure meant to stop it from sliding. The trundle pops up to sit level with the main bed, and the two can be used as separate twin beds or pushed together into a larger bed. The headboard has a wood grain finish with vintage-looking metal tubing and round armrests, which gives it a warmer look than the all-black frames. Neither mattress is included, and no weight limit appears in the product text, so check with the seller if that matters to you.

Why it makes the list
- Published dimensions for both beds, 78.2 by 41.6 inches and 73.6 by 38.9 inches, let you plan the layout on paper before buying.
- The pop-up trundle can be combined with the main bed into a larger sleeping surface, which helps when two kids share a room.
- Locking casters keep the trundle from rolling once it is in position, which matters when a child bounces onto it.
What to keep in mind
- The product text gives no weight capacity, so a household with adults sleeping on both beds cannot check the limit.
- The parts arrive in two boxes and the frame is a complete set, so you will need to plan for extra room while assembling it.

LIKIMIO Twin Daybed with Trundle, Twin Bed Frames, Grey/Brown
$197.99
The LIKIMIO frame is heavy-duty metal with a stated capacity of up to 800 pounds, and it has an upholstered headboard that doubles as storage. The charging station has 2 AC outlets, 1 USB port, and 1 Type C port, so newer phones and tablets can charge without an adapter. Pockets on the armrests hold a remote, a book, or a tablet within reach, and four mattress slide stops keep the mattress from creeping. The trundle rolls on smooth castors, and the two beds can be separated as singles or joined into a larger bed. The product text gives no dimensions, so measure your space and check the mattress size before you order. It suits a teen's room or a guest room where the bed will be used daily.

What to keep in mind
- The product text gives no dimensions or mattress thickness, so you will have to confirm those details before you buy a mattress.
- Its 800-pound capacity sits slightly below the VEVOR frame's 880 pounds, and the power panel needs a nearby wall outlet.

Jocoevol Daybed with Trundle and LED Light, Heavy Duty Metal Twin Bed Frame…
$188.99
The frame is white metal with MDF panels in a natural wood color, and the headboard stands 11 inches tall with four iron bars behind it for stiffness. The pop-up trundle rides on locking wheels and lifts to mattress height, so you can run it as one sofa by day, two twins, or a single king-width sleeping surface when both mattresses meet. What sets it apart is the hardware bolted to it: a movable charging station with two outlets, two USB ports, a USB-C port and an 8-foot cord, an RGB LED headboard you control by app or remote, and small folding tabletops on both sides for a mug or a book. The published limit is 880 pounds, which is the highest of any frame here, and an anti-slip holder keeps the mattress from creeping. Skip it if you want a quiet, unlit frame, because the light strip and the cord are the point of this one.

Why it makes the list
- The movable charging station carries two standard outlets, two USB ports and a Type-C port on an 8-foot cord, so a phone and a tablet charge without a strip on the floor.
- The 880-pound published capacity is the highest here, which matters when the trundle is up and two adults are on the same surface.
- Folding tabletops on both sides give you somewhere to set a drink, which a plain metal daybed never does.
What to keep in mind
- The LED headboard runs off an app or remote, so there is one more thing to lose track of and one more thing that can fail.
- The 8-foot cord ties the bed to an outlet, which limits where in the room you can float it.

Zevemomo Twin Daybed with Pop Up Trundle, Metal Sofa Bed with LED Lights
$159.99
The Zevemomo is a twin metal daybed with a pop-up trundle that rolls on locking wheels, so it can sit as a single bed by day and become two twin beds at night. The headboard carries an RGB LED strip that you control from an app, with more than 60,000 color options and preset modes, and the frame also has 3 USB ports and 1 Type-C port for charging. The frame is metal with curved armrests, and the published weight capacity is up to 400 lbs. At $159.99 it suits a guest room or a teenager's room where lighting and charging matter as much as sleeping. Skip it if you want a plain frame with nothing to plug in, or if you dislike controlling lights from a phone, since the product page says no remote is included.

Why it makes the list
- The charging station has 3 USB ports and 1 Type-C port, so two people can charge a phone, a tablet, and headphones without hunting for a wall outlet.
- The RGB strip offers more than 60,000 colors plus preset modes, which lets it serve as a reading light in one setting and a soft nightlight in another.
- The pop-up trundle sits on locking wheels and can be set beside the daybed to make a wide sleeping surface, so one frame covers a single sleeper or a pair of guests.
What to keep in mind
- The lights can only be controlled through an app and no remote is included, so anyone without a phone handy has no way to change the color.
- The charging ports and LED strip both need power, so the headboard has to sit within reach of an outlet, which limits where the bed can go in a room.

IDEALHOUSE Twin Daybed with Trundle, Metal Trundle Bed, White
$139.99
This IDEALHOUSE frame uses powder-coated steel slats and reinforced metal bed frames, and the product page states it supports up to 350 pounds per frame. The headboard and footboard carry a classic pattern in the metal, which gives it more character than a plain tube frame and works with contemporary, rustic, or traditional rooms. It leaves 12 inches beneath the trundle frame for clothes, shoes, or luggage, and it is described as suited to foam or hybrid mattresses. It has no headboard shelf, no padding, and no outlet, so it is a simple guest bed with a bit of decoration. It costs more than the other IDEALHOUSE frame with six casters, and what the extra money buys is mainly the patterned ends and the storage clearance.

- Patterned metal at the headboard and footboard gives the bed a finished look without needing bedding to dress it.
- The 12 inches of clearance under the trundle frame holds shoes, clothes, or a suitcase, which is helpful in a compact room.
What to keep in mind
- The patterned metal ends have small crevices that collect dust and need regular wiping.
- The bed has no padding, shelf, or outlet, so anyone who wants to read or charge devices in bed needs extra furniture.

IDEALHOUSE Twin Daybed with Trundle, Metal Trundle Bed, Black
$139.99
IDEALHOUSE finishes this frame in black powder-coated steel with classic patterning at the head and foot, so it reads more like an old iron bed than the industrial and upholstered pieces here. Each frame supports up to 350 pounds, and the slats are steel, which means a foam or hybrid mattress sits on it without a box spring. The trundle slides out rather than lifting, and there are 12 inches of clearance under the frame for bins, shoes or a suitcase when the trundle is not in use. Assembly is tool-free with the hardware packed in the box. Choose something else if you need the two mattresses at one level for a single wide bed, because this trundle stays low.

- The steel slats support a foam or hybrid mattress directly, so there is no extra cost for a foundation.
- Assembly needs no tools of your own because the hardware ships in the box with the instructions.
What to keep in mind
- The trundle rolls out low instead of popping up, so you cannot join the two mattresses into one king-width surface.
- The 350-pound per-frame rating is the lowest here, which is worth knowing if adults will sit three across on it as a sofa.

VEVOR Twin Daybed with Pop Up Trundle Metal Twin Day Bed Frame Pull Out
$134.90
VEVOR keeps this to the essentials: a reinforced metal frame with a corrosion-resistant coated finish, rated to 400 pounds, and a lift-up trundle that rolls on four casters with two of them locking. The trundle stores flat underneath, pulls out as a second low bed, or raises to meet the top frame for a single larger sleeping surface, so it covers the same three layouts as the pricier picks. The adjustable height is the useful part, because you can set the top deck to suit a thick hybrid or a thin foam mattress and still have the two beds line up when the trundle is raised. Thickened non-slip feet keep it from walking across a hard floor. Look elsewhere if you want a headboard you can lean on or any built-in charging, because this frame offers neither.

- Thickened non-slip feet keep the frame from sliding on tile or laminate when someone sits down hard on the edge.
What to keep in mind
- There is no padded or patterned headboard to lean against, so it is a frame to dress with pillows rather than a piece of furniture on its own.
- The 400-pound rating is modest for a bed that converts to a king-width surface for two adults.

VEVOR Twin Size Daybed Frame, Day Bed with Trundle, Heavy Duty Metal…
$99.90
This VEVOR frame is heavy-duty metal with a padded headboard that includes a small storage shelf, which is a real convenience for a glass of water, a book, or a small lamp. The charging station gives you 2 USB ports and 2 AC outlets on a 5.91-foot cord, so a lamp and a laptop can run from the bed once the cord reaches a wall outlet. The product page lists a maximum capacity of 880 pounds, and the armrests are curved with rounded corners while the feet are thickened and anti-slip. The text does not give the bed's dimensions or the mattress thickness it accepts, so measure your room and confirm those details before you order. It suits a guest room or home office that needs a bed with power close at hand.

- The stated capacity of 880 pounds is the highest on this list, which gives some reassurance if adults will use it often.
- A padded headboard with a shelf holds books and a small lamp, so a separate nightstand is less necessary in a tight room.
What to keep in mind
- The power cord is only 5.91 feet long, so the bed has to sit close to a wall outlet or the charging station will not reach.
- The product text gives no dimensions or mattress thickness, so you have to confirm the fit yourself before buying a mattress.

IDEALHOUSE Twin Daybed with Trundle, Metal Twin Size Daybed with Pullout…
$106.99
The frame is powder-coated steel with metal slats, and the product page says it holds up to 350 pounds without needing a box spring. The trundle rolls on six casters, four that lock and two that do not, so you can park it in place once it is pulled out and still nudge it around when you vacuum. Both beds take a mattress between 6 and 8 inches thick, and the 12 inches of clearance under the bed leaves room for flat storage bins. It has no headboard shelf, no outlet, and no padding, so it fits someone furnishing a guest room on a budget more than someone who wants the bed to be a hub for reading and charging.

- The 12 inches of clearance under the bed is enough for shallow storage bins or luggage, which adds usable space in a small room.
- Metal slats with a stated 350-pound capacity mean you can skip the box spring, which saves both money and height.
What to keep in mind
- The mattress must be between 6 and 8 inches thick, so a plush 10-inch mattress will not sit properly in the frame.
- There is no padding, shelf, or outlet on the headboard, so anyone who wants to read or charge a phone in bed will need a separate lamp and cord.

A daybed works as a sofa by day and a bed at night, and the trundle underneath adds a second bed. Frame material, pop-up versus roll-out trundles, and weight limits are the main differences. Some add USB ports or LED lights.
The upholstered boucle and padded daybeds look most like a sofa. The plain metal daybeds are the budget option for a guest room.
FAQ
Does the trundle include a mattress?
Some sets include one, many do not. Check the product page for mattress depth limits.
How much floor space does the trundle need?
Plan clear floor equal to the trundle depth plus a little buffer so it rolls out fully.
Is a daybed comfortable as a sofa?
With firm back pillows, yes. The seat is deep, since it is a twin bed, so extra cushions along the back help most people sit upright.
