Daybeds

What are daybeds?

Somewhere in between a bed and a couch, daybeds are the new stylish and flexible choice for interior design. Daybeds are sophisticated yet simple pieces of furniture used for lounging, reclining, and seating in the common room. They have a physical structure that consists of frames on three sides of the bed rather than a headboard and footboard like those of a traditional bed. Daybeds are a very versatile choice for a hybrid seating solution and are perfect for small spaces and rooms. These can be used in living rooms, guest rooms, and even the kids’ room for additional resting space in a compact area. 

With many different styles and designs, daybeds are becoming an increasingly popular option for living and working spaces. Most daybeds now come with a pull-out trundle, which is like a wheeled frame to store another mattress under the main mattress. Trundles are extendable, enabling you to accommodate more guests for resting and lounging purposes. They also come with endless storage possibilities in the form of pull-out drawers and full and half ottomans that can be lifted. These will help you incorporate practical uses with flawless aesthetics. All factors considered, daybeds are perfect space-saving alternatives for homes and offices that do not have much extra space to offer. 

Different Types of Daybeds

1. Trundle Daybed: The most popular choice for a daybed, trundle daybeds are very versatile pieces of furniture that can act as a sofa as well as a bed, depending on how you want to use them. These daybeds come with wheeled drawer-like frames to hold another smaller mattress that can be drawn out when needed. Trundle daybeds come in a wide variety of styles, shapes, and sizes, giving you plenty of options to choose from.

2. Storage Daybed: Storage daybeds are a must-have for when you want to incorporate style, comfort, and storage spaces in a compact area. These multifaceted daybeds come with a spacious storage area under the mattress base. Storage daybeds come with plenty of storage possibilities, such as drawers and flip-top storage trunk options. 

3. Canopy Daybed: A very stylish and classy choice for your interiors, the canopy daybed is becoming increasingly popular with designers and homeowners for indoors and outdoors alike. A canopy daybed comes with four corner posts that can be used to add some sheer fabric that adds a cozy, romantic vibe.

4. Platform Daybed: Simplistic and practical, platform daybeds have a low bed frame with a wooden or metal slatted surface, eliminating the need for any link spring to support the mattress. Platform daybeds may come in a variety of styles and designs.

Most Popular Daybed Sizes

1. Twin Size: The most popular size for daybeds, twin-size daybeds are perfect for just about any room dimension and space. Twin-size daybeds have mattress dimensions of 38 x 75 inches and are perfect for long and narrow spaces. You can add additional storage and resting spaces by opting for a twin daybed with a trundle or a twin daybed with an extendable frame. 

2. Twin XL Size: With a mattress size of 38 x 80 inches, twin extra-long daybeds offer a few extra inches length-wise than twin-size daybeds, making them more suitable for taller people.

3. Full Size: Featuring inside dimensions that are 54 x 74 inches, full-size daybeds are the right choice for small and compact spaces with dimensions of 10 feet by 12 feet, or 144 inches. Incorporate form and function into your guest rooms with a full-size daybed with storage options and extendable fittings. These are very versatile and can accommodate two people, making them worth the investment. 

4. Queen Size: With a healthy size of 60 x 80 inches, queen-size daybeds are becoming increasingly popular. If placed in a common area, these daybeds are best suited for spacious rooms. They are not as small as twin beds but not as bulky as king-sized daybeds, giving them perfect dimensions. You could also pick queen-size daybeds with a trundle and storage options for maximum utility. 

5. King Size: A twin XL daybed with extendable slats or a trundle will double up as a split king-sized one that has bigger mattress dimensions of 76 x 80 inches. Designed for larger rooms with measurements of 12 feet by 9 feet at the minimum, king-size daybeds are ideal for open and airy spaces. The huge lounging areas offered by these twin-to-king daybeds make for perfect resting spaces for adults.
