Daybeds - Beauty and Comfort

Daybeds have lost much of their luster in these modern times. With the advent of the futon for college kids and the chameleon power of a roll out couch, they seem to appear less and less in people’s homes. It can be hard to understand when daybeds offer so much more than a cheap futon or scruffy roll out couch.

So what’s so great about bedroom furniture like this? Instead of a cushion lying on metal bars and carefully folded as you have with a futon, daybeds include a real mattress like what you sleep on every night in a regular bed. Why spend the night at a guest’s house sleeping on a poorly made cushion when you know you could be sleeping on an actual mattress? What’s more, you can often find daybeds with trundles, which means a second, hidden mattress is beneath it, waiting to pop up or roll out whenever it’s needed in order to provide a comfortable night’s sleep to another guest. Daybeds – 1. Futons and roll out couches – 0.

Take a look at any futon or roll out couch. They’re just not that impressive. Now take a look at a high-quality trundle model daybed, such as those made by Hillsdale Furniture. The difference in beauty is simply undeniable. Whether you are looking for metal daybeds, wood daybeds, or a combination thereof, you can find just about anything that will make you stare in amazement. They’re comforting and relaxing, intricate and simple, bold for adults and fun for kids. If you’ve never seen one before, prepare for a shock, especially when real craftsmanship is involved. Daybeds – 2. Everything else – 0.

As you continue to look at all the beautiful choices out there, it won’t be long before you’ll wonder why you don’t have one in your home.
