Pop-up or lift-up trundle beds feature a mechanism that enables the user to raise the trundle bed to the height of a normal bed. This feature makes it possible to treat the trundle as a normal bed or push it against the main bed to expand the sleeping surface.
-
Slide the trundle bed out from under the mattress.
-
Engage the brakes by switching the lever located on the wheels.

Remove any objects on top of the mattress. Proceed with caution; some beds pop up with considerable force.

Lock the bed in the raised position by re-latching the lock at the head of the bed.
