Choosing the Perfect Daybed

More and more people are opting to purchase day beds. Not only do they look great, they provide attractive and functional seating and come in a variety of styles including 

• wooden daybeds,
• white daybeds,
• trundle daybeds, and
• unique daybeds made in metal and wood.

These beds have the capability of sleeping from 1 to 2 people when needed. Consider daybeds with storage underneath the mattress for out of sight placement of extra bedding.

Easily convert your day bed into a twin bed simply by rearranging the pillows and pulling down the covers. They're perfect for an office, den, or guest room and wonderful for people with limited living space. Just imagine curling up on a nice, cozy day bed to watch a movie or favorite tv show.

Day beds come in every style imaginable and are built to suit anyone's decor. It doesn't matter if you're young or old, male or female, there's a day bed out there that's just perfect for you.

Instantly change the look of your room by changing daybed covers and bedding. A simple cottage decorating tip with a big impact.

Choosing the perfect daybed is an easy task once you know the basics. These beds are constructed with a frame usually made of either wood, metal, or rattan. Like a sofa, they have a back and 2 sides. The bottom cushion is actually a twin size mattress that is supported by a link spring platform. Cribs are also made the same way. The link springs are made up of several coiled springs linked together to form a platform for the mattress to lay on.

The back cushions can consist of pillows with shams on them or you can use decorative pillows with bolsters for the arm rests. Personal preference sets the limit when it comes to the amount and type of pillows you'd like to have on your day bed.

TRUNDLE DAYBED ANYONE?

Trundle daybeds come in either a regular twin single mattress or trundle style.

Trundles are day beds with an additional bed discreetly stored underneath. When the trundle is rolled out and pulled up into position, you instantly double the sleeping space in any room. Your daybed is similar in size to a king size bed and can easily sleep 2 people. Some people use the trundle space as additional storage.

STORAGE DAYBEDS

If you prefer, consider daybeds with a large drawer or two underneath the mattress for much needed additional storage. It's a great ideal for keeping your belongings off the floor and out of the closet. 

Whichever style or design you choose, a daybed is sure to expand your living space for those welcomed overnight guests.
