In today’s post we’re sharing a list of our favorite traditional daybeds, all making wonderful furniture for relaxing or housing guests in a spare room space-efficiently.

Occasionally you think about a piece of furniture or decor that just really pulls its weight. They could be a chameleon and work well in almost any design style or they could just have so much functionality that everyone needs one.

And today we’re talking about one of those pieces: the daybed.

A daybed is a great piece of furniture that can be used in a variety of rooms for many different uses. But first, what is a daybed?

What is a daybed?

A daybed differs from a traditional bed in that it has two sides and a back, usually sitting with its back to the wall, providing a cozy enclosed feeling.

It often doesn’t look too much different than a sofa. However, it definitely has a cozier look to it.

How does one use a daybed?

A great way to use a daybed, especially if your home isn’t overflowing with extra space, is to stick one in a home office or other living space that can be used as sofa most times and transitioned into a bed for guests easily.

It’s also a great option in a kid’s room for an extra sleeping spot for friends!

Now here are our picks for the best daybeds that would fit in a variety of spaces!
