Day bed with trundle needed- any recommendations?

heatherbelle_3

Hi all,

currently doing up the spare room and looking to get a single bed with a trundle underneath to make it into a double bed if needed.

Found this in Tesco direct but it is on the pricey side of what I was thinking but I love the day bed idea so it can be used as a sofa almost for me to escape to when we don't have guests

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Thanks all

Hi, Ikea have a few, the Hemnes one I have seen myself in the store and it looks really nice (you buy the mattress separately so it could still be quite pricey!!), it converts to a double and also has drawers underneath for storage. There a couple of others on their site too but not sure if they all convert to a double:

That looks great - but how does it pull out into a double? I can't really see from the picture online!

just looking on the IKEA website and the mattress would add a lot to it! Think I prefer the daintiness of the Tesco one still

Hi Heatherbelle

We have purchased the ikea hemnes bed that has been mentioned.
It is quite sturdy .it converts to a double bed by pulling out the drawers.
then you pull out the front section which then pulls out the slatted base
(I bet youre none the wiser !! ha ha )
anyway we have two single mattresses on it when it is a single bed and they only cost about £50 each
It didnt take oh too long to make up ,and as I said before it is really sturdy and looks good too

hth regards Jazz

Thanks Jazz - that helps a lot.

I should actually be asking does anyone have the tesco direct bed and is it good quality?

So the Ikea bed is £215 or £259 plus £100 in matresses.

Hi Heatherbelle,

yep thats £215 plus £100 for mattresses total £315

I researched for a long time for beds and thought they were great value
we actually bought two ,one for each teenage child.

however I was lucky to buy them when they had that sale a year or so ago, when there was about 25% off everything on one day .
