Day Beds

What is a day bed?

A daybed is a multi-purpose piece of furniture which can be used as a seat during the day and as a bed at night. Their design is similar to a sofa, with a back rest, but also with a head end and a foot end.

What different types of day beds are there?

There are four main types: fabric, metal, trundle or with added storage.

Looks like an upholstered sofa and features a fabric back rest to ensure comfort while sitting. The base is much wider than an average sofa, which makes a comfortable bed.

Features painted metal piping instead of upholstered fabric to create a sturdy frame with an industrial look.

Features a pull‐out bed that can sleep two people, with one on the sofa and one on the pull‐out mattress.

Includes drawers underneath the bed or built in shelves in the frame. This combines a chest of drawers, shelves, a bed and a sofa in one.

What’s the difference between a sofa bed and a day bed?

A sofa bed features mechanisms which turn the sofa into a bed, either by pulling the frame out or clicking the back into place. Whereas a day bed is already set up for bedtime.
