With upholstered exteriors that mimic couches, studio apartments and open kitchen/living combos are able to keep space to a minimum while enjoying modern or contemporary decor. Sassy leather, soft polyester and classic tweed are among some of the material choices.
Wood - Bedrooms or lofts, where warmth is displayed, will feel comfort with solid wood products. Whether painted poplar, oak barn wood or traditional cherry, all wood frames are industry rated and approved for quality and safety.
Metal - Wrought iron, powder coated steel and distressed metal meet the demands of today's modern look. Molded into scrolls or sharp straight tubes, metal is durable and dependable in many new decors. Transitional, modern and urban industrial use metal to make a statement in design.

The overall dimensions vary according to the material design. Width can range from 40" to 48". Length can be as long as 84" or as short as 71". Metal frames are not as heavy as solid wood.

The styles available have grown over the past decade. Changing priorities and needs in society have alerted manufacturers to furniture that is versatile and space-saving. Casual living has replaced the stern rules of traditional and contemporary as it was once known. Home offices are taking over living space where spare bedrooms once were. Sofas are needed, but having a trundle offers diversity in accommodating overnight guests. Reinvented chaise lounges are springing to life with sweeping curves for an elegant look. Paneled bead board is used for everything from contemporary to country chic.

How to care for a daybed?

Daybeds are easy to care for by vacuuming or wiping with a damp cloth. Upholstery should be spot cleaned when needed. Wood can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and polished with oil. Loose bedding and covers should be machine washed unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise.
