How to effortlessly raise and lower your trundle bed?

If you’re looking to raise or lower your trundle bed, you’ll first need to take it apart and unscrew the handle that makes it go up and down with ease. When your bed is in pieces, you can quickly see how this works and what type of attachment you need to make it happen again. Ensure that the parts are put back together correctly so they don’t break! Now you have the know-how to effortlessly raise and lower your trundle bed whenever you want to!

Know how much you can carry

When raising a trundle bed, it’s important to know how much weight you can carry. This will help prevent an injury while lifting or lowering a heavy item. Always check for safety before starting any work.

It is better if two people are present when raising or lowering a large object like a trundle bed, although one person can do it if necessary. Make sure that you have a sturdy surface to place your mattress on.

Also, make sure that there is nothing on top of where you plan to set up your bed frame; otherwise, you may not be able to move it into place. In addition, make sure that there are no pets in the area who might knock over or damage furniture while moving around.

You may want to consider using a blanket or sheet under where you’ll be working just in case something falls off and using gloves for protection against possible sharp edges on wood pieces. If possible, try not to move furniture in front of doors as they may get damaged from being pushed back out later.

Use two strong people if possible.

Get one person to help you lift a corner of your mattress while holding it against one wall. If you have help, one person can hold up both sides while another pulls off each end. This will allow you to lay down a sheet or coverlet on top, preventing damage from sharp corners.

Assess the weight of your bed

The first step in how to effortlessly raise and lower your trundle bed is understanding how much weight is on it. Although most beds are rated for several hundred pounds, that may not be enough for yours.

To find out, pick up one side of your mattress while someone else picks up another; if you can lift it all off of its frame, you need a heavier duty mechanism.

If not, you’re likely safe with a lighter option. For reference, average full-size mattresses weigh between 80 and 100 pounds. Twin mattresses weigh around 50 to 70 pounds each.

Take care of any cords or other obstructions

It would help if you considered what might be in your way when you try to position or reposition a trundle bed. Is there a light fixture? A fire alarm? Anything else? Make sure you’re looking out for any cords, hoses, wires, or anything else that could interfere with how you position your bed.

If necessary, get some assistance moving furniture or removing obstructions from paths before trying to change positions on your own.

Do it gradually

Raising or lowering a trundle bed can be difficult if you do it quickly. Raise or lower a half-inch at a time so that your mattress can adjust to changes in height.

If possible, start with just one corner of your frame. For example, if you want to raise a corner of your frame by one inch, put one sheet of plywood underneath that corner for about two weeks. Each week, add another sheet of plywood until you reach three sheets (or an inch) under that corner.

How can I make my trundle bed higher?

If you need a little more space under your mattress, a twin-size storage bed with a trundle may be what you’re looking for. The bed frame holds two mattresses, one at each end. The trundle rests on top of one mattress and can be pulled out from underneath when extra sleeping space is needed.

Raising or lowering either end’s trundle is easy — give it a few yanks on its handle to pull it out or push it back in easily. A spring-loaded button locks it into place so that you don’t have to worry about getting back up once you’ve laid down! It’s almost like having an extra room without spending all those dollars on building one!
