When you’re shopping for a bed, you have plenty of features to consider, from the size to its construction and silhouette. Another important factor that can guide your shopping decision is the type of bed you select. Learn about the differences between daybeds and standard models before you begin furniture shopping.

How Does a Daybed Compare to a Standard Bed?

A standard bed is the focal point of your bedroom and serves one distinct purpose: to sleep on it. It features a traditional silhouette with four feet, a headboard, and often a footboard.

A daybed, on the other hand, offers a comfortable spot to sit and sleep. Its silhouette blends the look of a sofa and a bed. Like a sofa, it typically has dual armrests that enhance comfort when you’re sitting. Like a regular bed, it has a headboard that offers a spot to prop up your pillows when sleeping.

How Can You Use Daybeds?

A daybed is a versatile addition to your home. It’s well-suited for any space, including smaller rooms that may not be able to fit a larger bed. You can incorporate this furniture into spaces that can double as guest rooms, such as home offices, lofts, or playrooms. Kids can read on the daybed during the day, while it serves as a sleepover spot for a guest at night.
