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.

Pop Up Trundle

When you have children you quickly learn that nothing will ever be the same in your house. You discover that you need to sacrifice more than you thought you would, and that you need to think about your children before you think about yourself. As the children get older, their needs become even more pronounced. Suddenly you need to make time to drive them from one game or practice to another, and you need to find room for friends to spend the night. If you’ve got a small apartment or house, or your children have a small bedroom, having certain accessories, as well as the right childrens bedroom furniture, may help you to find the right amount of room for your child’s friends.

The Pop Up Trundle is a great little accessory to add to the trundle beds in your home. This trundle folds down flat and fits perfectly under any twin sized bed. When a friend comes over for the night, simply pull it out, pop it up, and you’re ready to go. If you don’t have children, a pop up trundle can come in handy for friends who may need to spend the night, especially if you live in a small apartment.

You can put the Pop Up Trundle underneath almost any sized bed, including most daybeds, making it not only great to have, but versatile as well. Many people who purchase daybeds choose to also purchase a Pop Up Trundle to give themselves the maximum amount of sleeping area without sacrificing the walking area in the bedroom or living room that the daybed is in.
