Underbeds & Underbed Storage: Frequently Asked Questions

​What is the difference between an underbed storage drawer and an underbed trundle?

​While both are designed to slide discreetly beneath an existing bed frame to maximize floor space, they serve entirely different purposes:

• ​Underbed Storage Drawers: Deep, heavy-duty wooden or upholstered drawers built on smooth-rolling wheels or castors. They are designed to hold heavy items like seasonal bedding, extra pillows, clothing, or children’s toys, keeping them dust-free and out of sight.
• ​Underbed Trundles (or Truckles): Specially engineered, low-profile pull-out bed frames designed to hold a standard single or small single mattress. They pull out seamlessly on castors to instantly create a comfortable, luxury guest bed setup for sleepovers or visiting family without occupying permanent floor area.

What materials are used to construct your premium underbed collection?

​To match the exceptional craftsmanship of our primary bed frames, our underbeds are constructed from robust, sustainably sourced solid hardwoods (including premium oak, walnut, and pine) as well as reinforced engineered timbers for flawless stability. They feature durable finishes—ranging from classic dove grey and surf white lacquers to rich natural wood grains—and are fitted with smooth-rolling, non-marking castors that slide effortlessly across carpets and hard flooring alike.

How do I ensure an underbed drawer or trundle will fit beneath my current bed frame?

​To avoid delivery day surprises, we highly recommend taking three precise measurements beneath your existing bed frame:

1. ​Underbed Clearance (Height): Measure vertically from the floor to the absolute lowest point of the side rail or central support beam. Our luxury underbed drawers typically require a minimum clearance height of 15cm to 20cm.
2. ​Internal Length: Measure the clear span between the inside edges of the headboard and footboard legs to ensure the underbed unit has enough room to slide in completely.
3. ​Floor Space (Pull-Out Depth): Ensure you have enough empty floor space adjacent to the side of the bed to pull the drawer or trundle out completely to access its contents or use the mattress comfortably.

Do your underbed trundles include the mattress?

​No, our premium trundle frames and matching trundle mattresses are sold separately. This allows you to choose the exact level of support and depth your guests require. Because of the low-profile nature of underbed storage frames, pull-out trundles typically require a specialized, slimmer profile mattress (often between 10cm and 15cm in depth) to ensure the unit slides smoothly back underneath the main bed frame when fully dressed.

Are your underbed drawers supplied fully assembled or flat-packed?

​To protect the solid wood components from transit damage and ensure they can navigate tight hallways or staircases, our underbeds are securely delivered flat-packed in heavy-duty, protective mail-order packaging. All units come supplied with clear instructions and heavy-duty fixings for straightforward home assembly.
