Daybeds are used not only for sleeping but also for sitting. They are said to be a cross of a chaise, a couch and a bed. During the Victorian era, daybeds were used to furnish the fainting room. Daybeds are constructed with the use of wood, metal or a combination of both. To support the mattress, daybeds often use a metal frame with cross supports and nylon meshes. A basic daybed features back and side railings or boards.
Parents usually prefer to use a daybed as a childrens bedroom furniture because of its multiple uses. Most kid’s bedrooms are sized small. So, parents have to think of ingenious ways to create more space. It is important that kids not only get to sleep in the bedroom but they also get to study and play in it. A kid’s daybed can be used for sleeping when the kids are tired and can be instantly transformed into a couch whenever the kids want to read, play videogames or watch TV. The free space underneath can also be used to hide things by placing drawers or storage units. A variation of a kid’s daybed is a trundle daybed, which is practically a daybed with an additional bed that slides underneath it.
Parents usually choose daybeds for their daughters and little girls. This is so because daybeds create that fancy look. The use of wrought irons, skirted daybed beddings and sometimes canopies evokes this frilly appearance. Nowadays, however, there are daybeds designed with a masculine look to appeal the little boys.
