A bed pull out bed is a standard bed frame that includes an additional slide-out mattress stored underneath, creating two sleeping spaces in the footprint of one bed. In simple terms, it’s a space-saving bed with a hidden second bed that can be pulled out when needed — ideal for guests, kids’ sleepovers and small rooms where a second bed won’t fit permanently.
Types of Bed Pull Out Beds in Australia
There are multiple styles available, each suited to different spaces and household needs.
✔ Single Bed Pull Out Bed
The most common format. A single bed on top with a second single mattress underneath. Perfect for children and teens.
✔ King Single Pull Out Bed
Wider sleeping surface for growing kids or adults. Offers upgraded comfort compared to a single.
✔ Double Pull Out Bed
A double bed on top with a second double or single trundle below. Suits guest rooms or holiday homes.
✔ Daybed with Pull Out Bed
A sofa-style daybed that becomes two beds when the trundle is pulled out. Ideal for multifunctional living and studio apartments.
✔ Drawer-Style Pull Out Bed
The bottom bed is concealed inside a drawer base for a sleek, modern look.
✔ Pop-Up Pull Out Bed
The second bed lifts up to the same height as the main mattress, creating a temporary king-size bed — a favourite for adults.
