A daybed is an incredibly functional piece of furniture because it can serve as both a sofa and a bed. When topped with plenty of throw pillows, for example, it provides an excellent place for lounging. And as long as you invest in a quality mattress, guests won't mind sleeping on it, either. Here’s a closer look at what this type of furniture can offer.

Why You Should Get a Daybed 

1. Better Sleeping Accommodations

A daybed can accommodate up to two adults. If you opt for one that includes two twin mattresses, it’s easier to host guests. Daybeds are generally more comfortable than expensive pull-out couches, and they don't take up a lot of space when they're not in use.

2. Additional Storage

If you only need a single twin mattress to accommodate guests, invest in a daybed that has drawers lining the bottom. This will provide extra storage for linens or other household essentials that you don't want to store in the attic or basement.

3. More Inviting Space

Whether you put it in the office, craft room, or guest room, a daybed will make the space even cozier than a simple couch might. Lining it with fluffy pillows and soft blankets will encourage people to sit or lie down and relax.

4. Total Versatility

Unlike couches and futons, which can’t be modified if you decide to change your design scheme, daybeds are versatile. For example, you can use flannel sheets with thick woolen accent blankets in the winter and floral sheets with a pastel quilt in the summer.
