What You Should Look For On A Daybed?
Primarily you should be looking at five things in a daybed such as dimension, storage capacity, trundle, weight limitation, and suitable design. If you’re not good at DIY stuff, be sure to check the assembly. Why should you check all those items before making a purchase?
Dimension
In general, daybeds come in two sizes such as twin and full/double. However, the standard dimensions of the twin and full/double are 38x 75 inches and 54x 75 inches respectively. What size do you need?
Space is always a concerning issue for furniture buyers. Not everyone has a big palace. Besides, if your primary reason for buying a daybed is using it as a sofa, the smaller the better. Again if you have kids and sleepover is your concern, you need a bigger daybed considering the space of your home.
On the other hand, mattress size matters for which you need to know the dimension of the daybed. Note that, almost all daybeds don’t come with a mattress, mattresses are sold separately.
Storage Capacity
Are you looking for a daybed with storage? Have a look at Captain’s Storage Daybed with Trundle and Drawers (Grey).
Those who live in the small apartments might need places to store things like clothes or kids’ toys etc. Many daybeds have drawers under the bed for loads of stuff.
Note that, in drawers, you might not be able to store large items. Furthermore, when you choose a daybed with drawers, you sacrifice the trundle which will talk about now.
Trundle
What is a daybed with trundle? The term trundle bed refers to a mobile bed that can be stored under a bed and roll-out by sliding. Underneath the trundle bed, there are casters for sliding. Mostly, the trundle beds are twin-sized.
What is a daybed with trundle used for? Well, trundles might be your lifesaver when you receive sudden guests or when your kids’ friends come for a sleepover. A daybed with a trundle increases the option for sleeping. On the plus side, it literally saves up a space of a twin-sized mattress.
Be aware that, trundle bed doesn’t provide adequate support for adults who weigh more than 200-250lbs. Trundle beds are not for long term use.
Weight Limitation
Different daybeds have different weight capacities. A common question from buyers, “Can you sleep on a daybed all the time?”. Well, Not all the daybeds are designed for heavy-duty. In fact, daybeds are to be used as sofa and sometimes as beds, when you receive guests or when you want to take a nap during the day time.
