Day Beds

Stylish and practical, a day bed is perfect for guests, kids, or teenagers! They're exceptionally versatile beds that will be fantastic value for money throughout the years. To help you make the right choice, we've answered all the most frequently asked questions about these innovative beds!

A day bed is multifunctional for lounging and sleeping. It looks similar to a sofa because it has a backrest, which helps make relaxing easy, whilst the mattress base allows it to be used for sleeping at night. So, if you have many overnight guests or are simply looking for a second sleep spot when your partner is snoring too loudly, day beds are perfect.

If you're unsure whether a day bed is right, why not look at our day bed guide to help you decide? Our day beds vs sofa beds guide explains the difference between these popular choices!

Our range of daybeds sold here on Happy Beds are all UK single, which means they have dimensions of 3' x 6'3" or 90 x 190cm. If you choose a trundle day bed, the size of the trundle must be factored in, as you'll need extra space to accommodate the trundle frame and mattress.

Follow our handy measuring tips from our measuring guide to ensure you have enough space in the room where you'd like to use a daybed trundle. Our bed size guide also has plenty of information about the various sizes of beds available to buy.

Day beds are super versatile, and with various styles and sizes in stock, we're sure to have the perfect one for you in stock:

• Storage day beds - take advantage of all the available space in a room with a handy day bed with storage! These usually feature shelving built into the frame or might include an under-bed drawer that can be pulled out as necessary.
• Day beds with trundles – ensure you're always ready for guests with a handy trundle day bed! These frames feature a trundle that can be pulled out when needed before being rolled back underneath to save space.

Yes, adults can comfortably use a day bed! Our frames are all designed to be durable and long-lasting, suitable for adults and children. For peace of mind, we'd recommend checking each product to see the maximum recommended weight or contacting our customer service team to find out.

Day beds are similar to regular beds in that they have a base that fits a mattress. The only difference is that they have three sides that provide a backrest for sitting. Because they use standard mattresses, they are as comfortable as regular beds and can be used daily. While they're great for guests, day beds are handy as a kids' bed or in a teenager's bedroom.

Yes, your day bed base will need a mattress. All our day beds use standard mattress sizes, which makes them more comfortable and bigger than a conventional sofa bed. If you're considering buying a day bed, shop our mattresses, too.

Remember that our day beds with trundles require a trundle mattress. The mattress should be low enough to provide the support needed during sleep, but not so high that it makes it hard or impossible to slide back underneath the bed when not in use. Make sure you know how to keep your mattress clean with our handy mattress cleaning guide!
