How to Link a Pop-up Trundle & Day Bed
Turn a tiny daybed into a roomier, more comfortable sleeping spot. Connecting the pop-up trundle under the daybed with the top of the bed requires a foam piece to cover the gap. A single king-sized sheet helps to tie the two twin-sized mattresses together. This works because the length of the king-sized mattress is equal to double the width of the daybed mattresses, and the width of the king-sized mattress equals the length of the daybed mattresses.
Step 1
Pull up the pop-up trundle from under the daybed. Remove any bedding from both beds.
Step 2
Place the T-shaped foam piece along the gap between the mattresses with the cross bar of the T-shape on top of the two mattresses and the bottom of the shape inside the gap.
Step 3
Cover the two mattresses with a fitted king-sized sheet.
Step 4
Tie a rope or a zip tie around the legs of the two beds where they meet to hold the beds together.
