Day beds are a great option for anyone looking to create a multi-functional, space saving sleeping space in the home. In comparison to a traditional bed or sofa bed, a day bed combines the best qualities of both. Designed to resemble a sofa, day beds have one open side, a back frame for leaning against and two shorter sides that give the appearance of armrests. Day bed frames are designed to be seen and admired, so they come with swirling, elegant metal frames or in regal sturdy wood with heavy under bed drawers for a more traditional rustic look with extra storage options.
