How to Choose a Daybed?

By: Ben Weissman

Buying daybeds is a process that combines purchasing a functional, comfortable place to sleep with selecting bedroom furniture that fits within your budget. With the right attention to details, you will be well on your way to investing in a quality product that you are proud to offer to guests or to sleep on yourself.

Tips for Selecting the Right Daybed

When it comes to selecting the right daybeds, there are many things to remember. First, be sure you know the manufacturer and the distributor. You want to ensure that the product and the service you get are of the highest value. That way, you also know that the information the company is providing to you is accurate and up to date. Once you know you have the right business to buy from, take into these considerations when buying this type of children's or master bedroom furniture.

1.Consider the makeup of the bedroom frame. Most adult and twin daybeds feature a back panel running the length of the bed and two side panels. There is a frame for the mattress as well. Most often, the daybed will use a twin size mattress, but verify this is the case.

2.Determine what material you would like it to be made from. Daybed frames are available as metal daybeds, wrought iron daybeds or even wood daybeds. You may have other furniture you hope to match it with or you may have a specific preference to the makeup of the furniture.

3.Consider the need for a trundle. This is a small type of bed that slides underneath the daybed when it is not in use. If you plan to have guests over, this adds another bed to your home that is easily tucked away when not in use. Daybeds with trundle features are available, but may be a bit more difficult to find.

4.Look at the overall style of the bed. You can find contemporary daybeds with traditional designs. Another option is to choose with that is ultra modern with clean lines. If you are planning to add a softer feel to the bedroom focus on curved designs and intricate detailing. For a more modern look, choose a bed with a less decorative headboard, with straighter lines and with a darker color.

5.Spend a bit more to get higher quality. Since most daybeds are affordable, you are likely to save money by simply investing in a higher quality bed that will last you longer. Affordable bedroom furniture is still beautiful and functional. However, it is priced right. Buy quality at the right price.

When it comes to choosing the right metal daybeds or wood daybeds for your home, focus on how you will use them, how frequently you will use them and the overall style and dimensions you need. Modern bedroom furniture like this, which can easily be used in a children's bedroom or even in your living room as additional seating, can give you function and beauty if you select the right product from the start.
