Rolling beds are a great way to have spare things to sleep on while not having extra bedrooms. If you like having family or friends staying over but don't have room for multiple standing beds in each room then a rolling bed is a great choice.
While air mattresses can be used in the same way, a rolling bed is far more sturdy, and works much better for people who visiting for days or week, instead of overnight. We forced ourselves to sleep on many different rolling beds while researching this article and have brought you our favorite rolling beds right here.
Linon Home Dcor folding bed
Perfect for any visitor
This rolling bed from Linon is an excellent example of quality and price hitting the perfect balance. While the mattress is a little thin for my taste, others — the others being my wife and son — said it was perfectly fine. The bed folds up to have an extremely small footprint and fits into our closet behind the clothes quite easily.
If you are likely to have a guest on any kind of regular basis, then this is a great choice of bed for them.
DHP Manila metal daybed and trundle
In case you need a new bed too
This kind of day bed/trundle combo is a great idea for your spare room. The bed itself can be used as a couch, while the trundle bed frame and mattress slide underneath to give you maximum sleeping ability.
This particular day bed is full-sized with a twin trundle underneath so a couple and their child could easily use this for a good night's sleep.
Smile Back rollaway bed
Sink into dreamville
I'm a big guy and using rolling beds can sometimes be uncomfortable, especially as I sleep on my side. The Smile Back rolling bed has an answer to this in the form of a five-inch mattress that lets me sink into it comfortably. This bed gave me a great night's sleep though when my wife tried it she said it was too soft for comfort.
Walker Edison Furniture Company twin roll-out trundle
Slip it under your bed
Trundle beds are a great extra bed if you have the space for them. Our main bed is quite tall and we have a trundle stored under it for when people come to visit. Because it is a rolling bed we can roll it out of our room and set visitors up somewhere comfy.
