Shop Guest Beds and Space-Saving Beds
Our guest bed collection includes different designs to help you make better use of available bedroom space. Depending on the model, you can choose from wooden guest beds, upholstered daybeds, pull-out beds, trundle beds, storage guest beds and sofa beds.
Guest beds can be particularly useful when you want to accommodate visitors without dedicating an entire room to a permanent double bed. Some designs provide an additional sleeping surface that can be stored beneath the main bed, while others combine seating, storage or sleeping functions.

Pull-Out Guest Beds
Pull-out guest beds feature an additional bed that can be stored beneath or within the main bed frame. When required, the secondary bed can be pulled out to create an extra sleeping space.
This design is useful for occasional visitors, children's sleepovers and bedrooms that need to serve more than one purpose. The exact pull-out mechanism, mattress size and clearance requirements vary between models.
Before purchasing, check whether the additional bed is supplied with a mattress and whether the pull-out section requires a specific mattress height.
Trundle Beds for Flexible Sleeping
A trundle bed is a space-saving bed design with a second sleeping platform stored beneath the main bed. The lower bed can be pulled out when needed and stored away when not in use.
Trundle beds can be suitable for guest rooms, children's bedrooms, shared rooms and sleepover arrangements. Some trundle beds are designed to remain low to the floor, while others may lift or raise to create a different sleeping arrangement.
Always check the product details for the trundle dimensions, mattress compatibility and whether the lower bed is intended for children, teenagers or adults.
Guest Daybeds
Daybeds combine the appearance of a sofa or seating area with the functionality of a bed. They can be used as a comfortable daytime seating option and provide an additional sleeping space when required.
A daybed can be a practical choice for a spare bedroom, home office, living room or multi-purpose room. Some models include a pull-out trundle, while others provide a single sleeping surface.
Upholstered daybeds can add a softer, more decorative appearance to a room, while wooden daybeds may suit traditional, contemporary or minimalist interiors.
Guest Beds with Storage
Some guest beds include integrated storage features, helping you make better use of the space around or beneath the bed. Depending on the model, storage may be provided by drawers, compartments or other built-in solutions.
Storage guest beds can be useful for keeping bedding, clothing, toys and other bedroom essentials organised. Check the individual product description for the number of drawers, storage layout and available clearance.
If storage is your main priority, you can also explore our dedicated storage beds collection.
Sofa Beds for Guest Rooms and Living Spaces
Sofa beds provide a flexible option for rooms that need to function as both seating and sleeping areas. They can be useful in home offices, living rooms, spare rooms and smaller properties where space is limited.
When choosing a sofa bed, consider the available floor space, the opening mechanism, the sleeping surface and whether the product is intended for occasional or regular use.
Product dimensions and mattress or sleeping-surface specifications vary, so check the individual listing before ordering.
Guest Bed Mattress Sizes and Compatibility
Many guest beds use a standard UK single mattress, commonly measuring approximately 90cm × 190cm. However, mattress requirements can vary between the main bed and the pull-out or trundle section.
Some guest beds may require a thinner mattress for the lower bed to allow the mechanism to close correctly. The recommended mattress height is especially important for trundle and pull-out designs.
Always check the product description for:
- The required mattress length and width.
- The recommended mattress height.
- Whether one or two mattresses are required.
- Whether mattresses are included.
- Whether the main and lower beds require different mattress specifications.

How to Choose the Right Guest Bed
Consider How the Bed Will Be Used
Think about whether the bed will be used occasionally by visitors, regularly by children or as part of a multi-purpose room. This will help you decide whether a pull-out bed, trundle bed, daybed or sofa bed is most suitable.
Measure the Available Space
Measure the room before ordering and consider both the stored and extended dimensions of the bed. Pull-out and trundle beds require additional floor space when the lower bed is in use.
Check Mattress Requirements
Confirm the mattress size and recommended height for every sleeping platform. A lower trundle bed may require a thinner mattress than the main bed to ensure that it can be stored correctly.
Decide Whether Storage Is Important
If you need additional space for bedding, clothing or toys, consider a guest bed with integrated drawers or storage compartments. Check the storage dimensions and access requirements before ordering.
Review the Bed's Intended Use
Check whether the product is intended for occasional sleeping, children's use or more regular use. Follow the manufacturer's guidance regarding age suitability, weight limits and safe usage.
Check Assembly and Delivery Information
Many guest beds require some home assembly. Review the product description for assembly requirements and check that the packaged components can be brought into the intended room through doorways, hallways and staircases.
