Today, the daybed has the same inviting lounge appeal; however most often used in the guest bedroom for over-night visitors and lucky for your friends and family is no longer made of stone or marble.

Daybeds have become such a common staple in the home that many different styles are available. From classic wood and wrought iron frames to frameless modern beds, there are options for each and every aesthetic.

A standard daybed will have a sturdy frame made to host a twin mattress, most often seen with a trundle bed underneath to pull out and allow room for one more to sleep. Sometimes seen with drawer compartments underneath, daybeds can be a great storage alternative in a small-scale guest room. 

In general, daybeds are a great choice for guest rooms on the smaller side as they are a true space saver. Not only do they allow for an additional guest via a pull-out trundle, but they also act as a couch during the day, avoiding the need for another upholstered piece of furniture in the room. They can create a living room-like feel, which will provide extra comfort and convenience for your guests.

The style daybed you select can easily dictate the overall look of the room, so be sure to spend some time deciding before making any final purchases. Remember to keep the style of the rest of your home in mind as you don’t want the guest room to feel too foreign. If you opt for a modern look, there are some great frameless daybeds available. If you prefer a more traditional look, try a wrought iron frame.
