What is a daybed?
A daybed is a piece of furniture designed with two purposes in mind: sleeping and sitting. While it looks like a sofa with a back and arms, the cushion is actually a mattress made for sleeping. They're the perfect way to save space. Daybeds are designed to take a twin size mattress (39" x 75") but can vary in width and length due to arm and back size. Some are extremely compact while others have a more stately design.

Daybed Materials and Finishes
The most popular daybeds we carry are made out of wood or metal, featuring finishes from ultra modern to antique distressed. However, that's not what you're limited to. You can find daybeds in leather and upholstery as well as any combination of materials.

More Daybed Customization
Don't stop at the finish when picking out your daybed. You can also personalize it with your own style by adding a daybed ensemble, matching window treatments or any variety of daybed accessories. With the amount of customization you can get with a daybed and everything that goes with it, no two rooms will be exactly alike.

Beyond the Bedroom
Style isn't the only thing that a daybed has going for it. While daybeds are a common guest room feature, they don't have to be limited to that. Add a daybed to your home office for an easy seating area that adds an extra sleeping space to your home. If you have a smaller home or apartment, a daybed works great in the living room as well. With a pop up trundle, you'll be able to have guests sleep over anytime.

Daybed for Two
Order the optional trundle, and double the Daybed's sleeping surface. Your daybed now sleeps 2 people comfortably! The pop-up mattress and support hide under your daybed when not in use. When you want extra sleeping surface, simply "pop" the trundle out and it forms the larger sleeping surface. The daybed trundle accepts up to an 8" Daybed mattress.

Why a Polytop?
The premium Polytop is included with your daybed purchase and it accepts a twin size mattress (no need for a boxspring). The Polytop lasts 10 times longer than regular link springs, and is more comfortable, too. Our Free Polytop Upgrade is available on nearly every daybed model at DaybedDeals.com.
