What is a daybed?

A daybed is a piece of furniture that combines the features of a sofa and a bed. During the day, you use it as a comfortable seating or lounging area, while in the evening it can also serve as a full-fledged sleeping place. Usually, a daybed has a backrest and side panels, giving it both the look of a sofa and the functionality of a bed. Because a daybed is almost always equipped with a full-size mattress, it offers a comfortable place to relax or take an afternoon nap. This makes it a versatile piece of furniture that fits perfectly in modern homes where flexibility is important.

Daybeds for every room

A designer daybed can be placed in virtually any room in the house. In the living room, it functions as a stylish lounge sofa, while in an office or study, it is a pleasant place to relax. A daybed is also ideal for a guest room: during the day it takes up little space, and at night it simply serves as a bed. Due to this multifunctional character, daybeds are particularly popular in smaller homes, tiny houses, studios, or apartments where every square meter counts. In this way, the piece of furniture offers seating and sleeping comfort in one compact solution.

Various designs and styles of daybeds

Daybeds are available in a wide range of designs and styles. For instance, there are compact models that resemble a spacious armchair or chaise longue in shape, ideal for a reading nook or lounge area. Other daybeds, on the other hand, have a straight shape with armrests on both sides, making them look more like a narrow sofa that can also be used as a bed. Additionally, the design varies from minimalist models with a sleek frame and thin mattress to daybeds with full cushions and a softer, more lounge-like appearance.

Buying a daybed: what to look out for?

If you are going to buy a daybed, there is a bit more to consider than with a standard sofa. Therefore, pay attention to the following points:

• Bed size: Choose a size that suits its use. For occasional sleepovers, a narrower size such as 80×200 cm is often sufficient, while a daybed that you regularly use as a full-fledged bed is better off being slightly larger, for example 160×200 cm or 180×200 cm.
• Mattress type: A daybed with a firm, full-sized mattress sleeps more comfortably than a thin cushion version. Pay particular attention to the material composition if you intend to use the furniture as a bed regularly.
• Material and frame: Hardwood or solid wood frames are durable and fit well with a Scandinavian or Japandi interior, while metal frames often give a sleeker, industrial look.
• Space and placement: Carefully measure the available space, including the area required if you want to be able to use side panels or armrests as backrests.
• Maintenance: Choose upholstery and mattress covers that you can easily remove or wash, especially if the daybed regularly serves as a guest bed.

This is how you choose a daybed that not only looks good but also remains practical for everyday use.

Can you sleep on a daybed every night?

Yes, provided the daybed is equipped with a full-size, good-quality mattress. For daily use as a main bed, we recommend a slightly thicker and firmer mattress than for occasional guest use.

What size daybed fits a guest room?

For a guest room you want to furnish efficiently, a size of 90×200 cm or 160×200 cm is often ideal: spacious enough for comfortable sleeping, but still compact enough to function as a sofa during the day.
