Daybeds

Popular for many years, the daybed continues to be an excellent choice when shopping for multi-purpose furniture. Combining a comfortable sleeping surface with seating functionality makes the daybed an excellent choice for both bedrooms as well as home offices.

A wide range of style and design selections are available. One of the most popular types is the all metal style available in different finishes including brass as well as many other color options. Wood daybeds have also become very prevalent over the past few years and a relatively new option is the combination wood and metal combination design. There are also daybeds available with built in storage shelves.

In general terms, most daybeds consist of a back and two sides combined with a linkspring that holds the bed together and provides the surface for the mattress to rest upon.

A very popular option is the Pop-Up Trundle which provides a space for a second mattress. This intriguing device resides under the daybed and rolls out when a larger sleep surface is desired. The most popular style “pops-up” so that it is even with the original daybed mattress when in use. A wonderful option for sleep-overs.

Most daybeds are available in standard twin size utilizing a mattress that is approximately 39” x 75”.

One of the most important aspects of enjoying a daybed is the selection of a high quality mattress that will provide good nights sleep as well as a comfortable surface on which to sit. “Daybed Mattresses” which are designed to do both are now available.

Another popular option is the daybed linen package that provides a sham that covers the bottom of the daybed, a top cover and various types of pillows. These sets are available in a wide range of patterns and styles.
