How to Choose the Perfect Daybed

Trim and lovely, daybeds are a household favorite for something unusual in kids’ bedroom furniture, maybe for a room that doubles as a guest room. They’re also the best in your main living space if you’ve got a studio apartment or are otherwise challenged in square footage. Sofa by day, bed by night, maybe with some handy storage space in the form of case goods and/or a cool trundle bed underneath, daybeds are a design winner in home furniture that’s too often overlooked. So in today’s Harlem Furniture blog post, we’ll help you choose an ideal daybed solution for your everyday living!

What Will You Use the Daybed For?

When the twin bed in your daybed is not for a child, most often people choose daybeds for home office furniture or sewing rooms that can be pressed into service as extra guest rooms. And if you’ve got a trundle bed in your daybed, better still as you can comfortably accommodate two, be they little best friends for a sleepover or a safe place for grownups to sleep after a long party where the drinks were plenty. Consider what your daybed’s main use will be when shopping for one. If it will mainly be a sofa with only occasional service as a sleeper, wood might be your best option. If this bed is meant to be part of a kids’ bedroom set with nightly use, perhaps a metal frame such as one of our industrial tube designs is in order.

More Daybed Essentials

Your daybed usually takes the same twin mattresses as regular-frame beds so go all out getting the best quality. Also, you can find full and even queen-size daybeds, though they are less commonly used. If you’re primarily going to use the daybed as a sofa, pay special attention to versatile bedding such as a snug fitted cover and pillows. Have fun choosing colorful bedding, maybe several sets for different seasons and moods, to make your new daybed stand out in your comfy small living room or home office.
