7 Best Sustainable Trundle Beds For Siblings
Weโve researched and tested the best nontoxic mattresses, bedding, and bed frames over the years. Here are our top picks for trundle beds that are safe, durable, and affordable.
With a toddler and one on the way, Iโve been thinking a lot about how to maximize space. One of the most popular solutions for parents with two or more kids is investing in a trundle bed. Sold as add-on โdrawersโ or built into the bed frame, these can offer tons of space-saving benefits. They can accommodate another kiddo (a huge plus for sleepovers!) and also serve as discreet bonus storage. Simply leave it mattress-less, and stow away toys, clothing, and more until you need it to function as a two-in-one trundle bed.
Before splurging on one of these beds โ or any bed, for that matter โ we like to consider the materials. So, weโve hand-selected seven trundle beds and mattresses made with solid wood construction and low-VOC finishes, which are high-quality, sustainable, and free of harsh chemicals to better protect your little ones while they snooze.
Our criteria:
Our editors have filled their homes with sustainable and nontoxic furniture and bedding for years. Weโve relied on firsthand experience, correspondence with top brands and thousands of customer reviews to make our selections. Every option on this list is nontoxic and eco-friendly. Weโve even included at least one more affordable option. We regularly update this list with new favorites that meet the following criteria.
- SUSTAINABLE & NONTOXIC | Each brand prioritizes responsibly sourced materials, including solid hardwoods, FSC-certified wood, low-VOC finishes, or other environmentally conscious manufacturing practices.
- BUILT TO LAST | Quality furniture should withstand years of daily use. We selected brands known for durable craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and long-lasting construction that can grow with families.
- AFFORDABLE | Thoughtfully made furniture is a big investment. Weโve selected at least one option that is at a lower price point for those on a budget.
These bed frames donโt come with mattresses or other bedscaping accouterments, so youโll want to check out our guide to the best organic twin mattresses, bedding brands, and comforters.
1. Avocado
Best For | Handcrafted bed frames
Materials | Solid beechwood, solid pine, nontoxic and zero-VOC glues, paint, and varnishes
Price starting at | $170
Ten years ago, Avocado co-founders Jeff DโAndrea, Dan DโAndrea, and Jay Decker made it their mission to create a โgenuinely certified organic mattressโโand their number of certifications attest to their success. Avocado products are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), GREENGUARD Gold, Made Safe, and many more. Plus, as a certified B Corporation, theyโve cleared rigorous testing and analysis of their businessโs social and environmental impact.
Made with beechwood, the brandโs bed frame and trundle attachment come in a natural wood or white finish. The simple bed frame is versatile, working well with nearly any bedroom style, and can easily grow with children into early adulthood. Our team loves Avocado mattresses, and the Eco Organic Kids Mattress (sold separately) pairs perfectly with the kids bed frame and trundle add-on. If you choose a mattress thatโs not from Avocadoโs lineup, make sure itโs no more than 7 inches tall.
Customer Review | โThe quality of the full trundle is amazing. We are really happy with it and will be purchasing more for our other kids once they transition out of their cribs.โ – Jaclyn S. (Read more reviews.)
2. Naturepedic
Best For | Trundle drawer
Materials | FSC-certified solid white oak, plywood, white oak veneer, pine; water-based finish
Price starting at | $599
Naturepedic started with an environmental engineer who wanted to craft organic mattresses, bedding, and furniture for his grandchildren. The result? A company boasting several third-party certifications, including GOTS, GOLS, FSC, Made Safe, GREENGUARD Gold, and Environmental Working Group (EWG). As a member of 1% for the Planet, they also donate 1% or more of their annual revenue from mattress sales to environmental organizations.
Savona manufactures the bed with FSC-certified solid white oak, plywood, and oak veneer. You can choose from a few configurations: twin platform, full platform, twin/twin bunk beds, and twin/full bunk beds. If you need a trundle system, you can add a trundle drawer for an extra $599. With three knobs, itโs an easily concealed trundle bed that doubles as storage. For a complete Naturepedic setup, the Savona collection also includes an oak nightstand, bedside tray, and dressers.
Customer Review | โVery solid wood, and love that itโs non-toxicโฆ Love that it can be used as two beds now until my boys (1&3) are old enough to have a bunkbed. Customer service is great.โ – Aeron D. (Read more reviews.)
3. Nestig
Best For | Convertible trundle
Materials | Sustainably harvested, solid Brazilian pine
Price starting at | $499
Co-founders Sara Adam Slywka and Gui Picciotto have used their experiences as parents to craft furniture thatโs better for their kids and the environment. Nestig was born in 2020 and has since become a household name with convertible pieces that are both style-forward and sustainably made. They refer to their production process as a โโjust enoughโ business model,โ meaning they keep inventory low to reduce their environmental impact.
Nestig has found a great way to extend the use of your babyโs crib mattress. Once theyโve outgrown a crib, switch to this 2-in-1 mini trundle to pair with the wildly popular Wave Kids Bed, which fits the smaller mattress and comes with two removable dividers to create multiple storage compartments. If you want a twin-size trundle like this one, three Nestig beds complement it, though weโre partial to the Cove. With caning on either side of the daybed, itโs a dreamy, coastal-inspired pick with a timeless, heirloom aesthetic. For this bed, you can add the Lullaby Twin Trundle Short Mattress, or any twin mattress thatโs 6 inches thick or less.
Customer Review | โWe got our son his first big boy bed with the trundle bed and it is perfect. It is very well made. Looks exactly like the pictures.โ – Unnamed (Read more reviews.)
4. Babyletto
Best For | Growing with your child
Materials | Solid poplar wood, TSCA compliant MDF, GREENGUARD Gold certified nontoxic finishes
Price starting at | $299
Babyletto is a Los Angeles-based brand thatโs been developing modern childrenโs furniture with detail-oriented designs for more than a decade. Now, 99 percent of their products are GREENGUARD Gold certified, and to date, theyโve kept 6.2 million plastic bottles out of landfills by using Repreve polyester yarn, made from recycled plastic bottles.
Babylettoโs trundle is labeled as a storage bed and is made with sustainably sourced laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) compliant MDF. Itโs compatible with a 5-inch trundle mattress, which you can add to your purchase. Parents recommend the Bondi Twin Bed, which has a defining arched headboard and comes in a natural walnut or honey stain with or without caning. Together, the pairing is a boho-inspired, modern take on classic baby and kidsโ furniture. One parent also noted the easy assembly instructions, making it a solid choice for already stressed-out parents.
Customer Review | โThis trundle bed was easy to put together and fits nicely underneath the Bondi bed.โ – Charles R. (Read more reviews.)
5. Saatva
Best For | Luxury mattress designed for trundles
Materials | CertiPUR-US certified foam, recycled steel coils, organic cotton
Price starting at | $549
Saatva, founded in 2010, is lauded as the original direct-to-consumer mattress company. Over the years, theyโve developed mattresses made with high-quality, sustainable materials at reasonable price points. Weโre talking CertiPUR-US certified memory foams, GOLS certified organic latex foam, recycled steel coils, and organic cotton. In May 2025, the company announced they had been named the โOfficial Mattress and Restorative Sleep Provider of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA.โ
Our editors have praised the brand for offering mattresses that make us feel like weโve checked into a luxury resortโand their kid-friendly designs are no exception. The company identifies the Bunk & Trundle Mattress room front as โthe first luxury mattress designed just for bunk & trundle beds.โ The hybrid mattress layers gel-infused memory foam with recycled steel coils for medium-firm support recommended for kids and teens. Keep in mind that Saatva only makes a luxury mattress designed for trundles. Youโll need to purchase a trundle bed frame or drawer in addition to the Saatva mattress.
Customer Review | โThis is our second Saatva mattress purchase and we are very happy. We have the Saatva youth and now the trundle mattress. Both are extremely comfortable and well-made. The white-glove delivery service was convenient.โ – Michelle L. (Read more reviews.)
6. Leesa
Best For | Modern-minimalist design
Materials | Solid New Zealand pine, engineered wood
Price starting at | $400
Since 2015, Leesa has focused on providing quality mattress-in-a-box options while also giving back to communities worldwide and the environment. With third-party certifications from GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US, theyโve donated more than 43,000 mattresses to date and continue reducing plastic waste through partnerships with CleanHub and Green Worms Waste Management. These are more than sustainability initiatives, too, as theyโve helped offer stable incomes to a women-led workforce.
The Nook Kids Bed, combined with the brandโs sliding trundle (and trundle mattress), is a worthwhile addition to any kidโs room. Made with solid New Zealand pine and engineered wood, itโs an eco-conscious choice thatโs also easy to assemble. Trundles work with a twin or full bed, and white and pecan-hued finishes are both available.
7. Sundays
Best For | Soft edges and upholstery
Materials | Solid wood, plywood, MDF, high-density foam, polyester
Price starting at | $1,750 (for the entire bed frame)
Sundays began with four friends in Vancouver who wanted practical, long-lasting, and relaxed furniture. Weโve brought home (and loved) their West Coast-chic dining table, coffee table, and more, and we appreciate their priority to use FSC-certified solid wood, PFAS-free performance fabrics, and non-toxic finishes. Theyโve also partnered with One Tree Planted, and plant one tree each time they sell a solid wood dining table.
While most of our favorite trundle beds are pieces you can slide under a standalone childrenโs bed, the Sunrise Trundle Bed has it all (minus the separately sold mattresses). With a barely-there trundle underneath, you can pull out the bottom layer to reveal extra sleeping space. The rainbow-like curves of the headboard and footboard add style, and soft-to-the-touch performance fabric will make your little one feel even cozier at night.
Customer Review | โGreat quality! The fabric looks so good. Nice design, my daughter finds her bed so perfect!โ – Marie-Helene P. (Read more reviews.)
