Day Beds

What are day beds?

To cut a long story short, day beds are a comfortable mash-up between a sofa and a bed. 

Basically, they’re your go-to spot for lounging during the day, which can then easily transform into a comfy bed when you’ve got guests over. And it’s this versatility that made us fall in love with day beds in the first place!

Need extra seating? Check. Looking for a cosy spot for a sneaky nap? Check. Hosting the family at Christmas? Check. Want to save some serious floor space in your little one’s bedroom? Check.

As a nice little bonus, our Dover Fabric Day Beds even feature a spare sleeping space hidden in the frame. All you need to do is pull out the trundle from under the day bed to reveal a cosy single mattress - perfect for sleepovers!

Plus, day beds are just as pretty as they are practical. There are so many colours to choose from in our collection that instantly elevate your décor.

Is a day bed more comfortable than a sofa bed?

A comfortable lounger that doubles up as a cosy sleeping spot? Sounds an awful lot like a sofa bed, right?

Correct! Day beds and sofa beds offer similar solutions for your living space. But it’s not quite a case of one being better or more comfortable than the other; they’re just designed for slightly different things. 

A day bed is perfect for lounging around during the day, quickly transforming into a guest bed with a set of cosy bedding. A sofa bed, on the other hand, pulls out into a full-on bed when needed – which means you’ll need the extra floor space to accommodate the bed frame. 

Both day beds and sofa beds are super comfy, it’s just about choosing the one that better fits your home and lifestyle!

Where do people put day beds?

Honestly, anywhere you’d like a little extra lounging space!

Day beds look just as great in a living room, essentially acting as an accent chair, as they do in your bedroom, where you can create your very own sleeping sanctuary. They’re also perfect for spare rooms, either when you have guests around or if you need to take a quick break from the happy chaos in the rest of the house.

That’s the beauty of a day bed; it works wherever you want it!
