Daybed Information:
What is a daybed?
A daybed is a versatile piece of furniture that converts from a sofa-like seat to a bed. All daybeds are made to accommodate a standard twin size mattress (39 in. x 75 in.), but for underneath storing (trundle), the height must be 9” or less. The optional trundle hides beneath the main daybed and can be conveniently pulled out when you need an extra bed. A daybed makes a great sofa/bed arrangement for your apartment, guest room, den, or any place you need to save some space.
What is a trundle?
You'll find two types of daybed trundles: pop-up or drawer. Made of metal, a pop-up daybed trundle transforms your twin size daybed into a king size bed. A daybed trundle can be left lowered or elevated into pop-up position.A drawer trundle also holds a twin size mattress but does not elevate or extend completely out from the daybed unless you completely remove the drawer. Drawer daybed trundles work nicely for a child's sleepover.
Do daybeds come in full size?
A daybed is strictly limited to twin size. If you want a full size bed with the appearance of a daybed, a full size futon may be your answer. Many futon models resemble the general look of a daybed.
Do daybeds come in king size?
When the trundle of your daybed is in its elevated position, the daybed has the same dimensions of a king size bed.
What is a daybed frame?
A daybed frame consists of two side panels and one back panel. Daybed frames are commonly available in wood, metal, or a combination of the two. Daybed frames accommodate a standard twin size mattress, 39 in. x 75 in
What is a link spring?
A link spring is a metal grid-like structure with springs substituting for a box spring. The daybed link spring attaches to the side panels of the daybed frame to create a sturdy, stable daybed. The twin mattress rests on the daybed link spring, allowing room below for the optional second mattress.
What size mattress do I need for my daybed?
All daybeds and their trundles use a standard twin size mattress, 39 in. x 75 in.
