Mission Daybed with Trundle Bed

This solid wood daybed with a trundle bed is part of our Cottage Collection, named for its traditional Mission style. It is perfect for kids or adults since it can support up to 400 pounds. This bundled unit consists of two independent items. In this combination unit, you get a daybed and a trundle bed.

A daybed is a type of platform bed in which the head and footboards are equal in height, and a guard rail connects them from the back side so you can use it for sleeping and lounging. We recommend using a solid wood daybed instead of a toddler bed once your child outgrows the crib. You can add a front guard rail, which we also sell separately.

The Mission solid wood daybed comes in five sizes, including extra-long versions for teens or adults. However, the Trundle bed is only available in twin and twin extra long. Any Canadian standard-size mattress can fit this bed; you do not need a box spring.

You can add matching night tables, dressers, and chest of drawers to complete the look and function.

Cottage Collection

We have different collections of beds and bunk beds, and each group has its characteristics. Our Cottage collection has a husky and traditional look and feel, which you may see in a cottage, hence the name. This collection has its roots in Ontario’s cottage country.

In this collection, we use mortise and tenon joinery for most strength. All drawers inside the dressers or nightstands are dovetailed joinery. Our Cottage collection is a lifelong investment; we build them strong enough to last you a long time.

We use durable, non-toxic, low-VOC finishes to make the Cottage collection the clean, healthy choice for your home. All colours are wood stain, not paint, including the white finish. Wood stain is ideal for showing the natural beauty of wood grains. You can also choose unfinished if you wish to apply your colour.

Our finishes include volatile organic compounds (or VOCs) in liquid form. These ingredients allow finishes to be applied by spraying. Once a finish is applied, the ingredients evaporate during drying and curing, releasing the VOCs. Finished wood surfaces do not emit VOCs once they are cured.

Hardware and Assembly

The assembly of our Cottage collection is reasonably straightforward. You do not need to assemble the ladders, headboards, case goods, and underbed storage drawers since we ship them pre-assembled. Case goods are boxy items like nightstands and dressers. We recommend two adults for easier assembly and handling.

We use high-quality hardware for this collection. The hardware, instructions, and a simple allen key are included. You will need a Phillips screwdriver; you do not need power tools.

Solid Wood

Our Cottage collection mainly uses Southern Yellow Pine, the wood of choice on wooden roller coasters. We use knot-free premium wood with no finger-joint pieces for maximum strength, which allows us to achieve a weight capacity of 400 pounds.

For case goods, we use plywood for the back panels and the bottom of the drawers. The case goods' casing, or shell, is solid wood and solid wood veneer for the top part.

Solid wood furniture products, such as bed frames, loft beds, and bunk beds, are robust, easy to maintain, beautiful to look at and retain value.

Bed Slats and Center Support

The slats in our Cottage collection are knotty solid pine. Each slat is 5.5 inches wide, and nine slats per deck. Lofts and bed frames have nine slats, and bunk beds have 18 slats. All sizes use the same number of slats per deck.

The space between the slats is 3.5 inches for single and double slats and more for other sizes. If you wish to add an extra bed slat to reduce the spacing or as a spare, you can order one individual slat.

We do not use center support for our queen and extra-long beds and bunks in this collection. You must screw in every slat from both ends to the mattress rails, which is sufficient to achieve the strength you need. We add a center support bar, without vertical posts, to our king-size bed frames in this collection.
