Spanish term

nido (cama)

Spanish to English Marketing Furniture / Household Appliances bedroom furniture
SPAIN. Apparently this is a type of bed, but in English the only "nest" furniture items I know of are "nest of tables". Does anyone kow what this type of bed is called in English? I think it means that there's a mattress underneath the main one which can be pulled out to make 2 beds out of one.

Trundling along Liz's mention of "pull-out" bed sounds more like what I would call it, however this text (a catalogue with no pix, can't contact client cos job from printers via agency, so I don't really know what I'm describing) also has "camas de arrastre" ... so I'm stumped. I do like the sound of trundle though...
Noni Gilbert Riley Sep 22, 2008:
UK vs US My kids sleep in a cama nido and I'd never thought of how to say it in English! My Uk English recognises truckle bed and not trundle (altho I'm not disputing David - good references too!). Even so truckle bed sounds v old fashioned to me and I wonder if there isn't a more recent name... IKEA catalogue here I come...

When I looked up "cama (nido)" it looked just like a "pull-out" bed to me:-)
