We use this as a bed for our toddler. It is the lowest profile that I have seen. We will get bunk beds at some point for our boys and wanted something that we could potentially use somewhere else in the house at that time. I love that it is low to the ground so it was an easy transition for our little boy. It might be too big to slide under some beds with a regular mattress on top, but one could always put the higher bed on a little block if you needed an extra inch or so to slide the trundle under. Be sure to measure how much room you have under the bed, but also the dimensions of the over all bed. We have an antique canopy bed and I think that this is a little bigger than the footprint of that bed. We put a 7 inch foam mattress on this from Brentwood (purchased on and our little guy loves it.
Also, I warned my husband from other reviews that it might take a while to put together and that he should leave extra time to do it. I dont know if it was the challenge or if it really is easy to put together, but he had it finished in 10-15 minutes.
Great inexpensive low-profile bed for kids
