Buying Guide

Solid wood daybeds are beautiful and practical additions to any home. They’re capable of adding functionality and beauty in spare rooms, small apartments, and sunrooms for drop-in visitors, adults, and children alike. During the day, they can be used as couches. When the sun sets, they'll make comfortable beds.

To get the piece that's right for the space that you have, continue reading as we've prepared a buying guide for you.

What are the best materials for solid wood daybeds?

Daybeds can be constructed out of mahogany, natural oak, honey oak, rustic white, toffee, walnut, medium, expresso wicker, cherry, autumn brown, and fruitwood. There are also different designs and finishes used in making solid wood daybeds including styles with brass accents and wooden finials. If you want to furnish your home as fast and as stress-free as possible, choose daybeds that have coordinating mirrors and dressers.

Most homeowners find it intimidating to choose between different finishes and materials when buying a solid wood daybed that matches a room's décor. But, don't worry as you'll never regret choosing a wooden frame. If you are not sure which shade of wood you should go after, just keep one rule in mind: a bright room can accommodate a dark wood color and a dark room will look good with a light-colored wood furniture. Your living space will look so much better as you've added contrasting elements.

How to protect a daybed mattress?

When shopping for a solid wood daybed, an important consideration you have to take is the bed skirt and mattress covering. Well-kept and stylish blankets can work as covers, and they'll also double as blankets for nighttime use.

If the bed will be used as your couch, purchase a slipcover for the mattress. If you want to make use of a bed skirt, make sure that it has slits at every corner. This prevents the bed skirt from getting caught and crumpling up under the mattress.

How do you decorate a daybed with cushions?

You would want to make your solid wood daybed capable of providing a comfortable place for you to sit and sleep on, so you need to add cushions to it. If you are going for a look that's sophisticated and elegant, tassels will offer a nice touch. You can set off a solid-colored daybed covering with several bright-colored and patterned cushions.

Since solid wood daybeds don't come with upholstered backs, adding cushions will prove to be necessary for comfort. Pillows in various shapes and sizes will add interest. You can also try adding three cushions in both corners of your daybed. Use one that has a bright pattern. For the other two, you can go for different solid colors.

You may have so many stunning options, but make sure that you purchase one that's both high-quality and durable. Remember, you'll get what you've paid for. Also, with bright cushions, a quality slipcover, and a comfortable mattress, you won't just make a room in your home look more attractive and seem brighter, but you'll also be able to enjoy a cozy living space with comfy furniture that doubles as a bed and a sitting area.
