The daybed has made a comeback! An essential for small spaces, this unique furnishing is also a great way to add a big dose of lounge style at home. More than a mere alternative to the guest bed, the daybed can be used to create a special space for napping, relaxing and taking a break from a busy day. Because moments of rest are often few and far between, design lovers delight in decorating their daybeds with pillows and seamlessly blending them into their spaces. Houseplants and side tables are two accessories you can often find next to a living room daybed! Greenery adds a breath of fresh air, and a small table is a great place to set your cup of tea, after all.
Some daybeds even feature a hidden trundle mattress that creates additional room for sleeping once lounging has wrapped up for the day. Whether you’re a big fan of modern design or you’re looking for something that can thrive in eclectic spaces, there’s a daybed for every price point and style. Enjoy browsing the featured finds below… [Eclipse Sleeper Daybed from Crate & Barrel]
Sleek Daybeds
We begin with power of a sleek and modern daybed. When clean lines rule, an uncluttered look prevails. Let the relaxation begin! CB2’s Lubi Silver Grey Sleeper Daybed is a lounger by day and a guest bed by night. A stacked double mattress is the perfect twin, or you can un-stack it for a side-by-side queen mattress setup! Note how well a chunky blanket warms up the contemporary form of this daybed in the image below:
For more daybed design featuring bolsters, check out Anthropologie’s Darcy Daybed. The bolsters are removable, making it easy to transition this piece from sofa duty to sleeping duty. Maple legs and golden velvet fabric create a look that’s perfectly on trend. Also note that the piece is available with blue fabric, and there’s even a version with a vibrant print for the cushions!
Urban Outfitters’ Alessa Daybed, Cushion and Pillow Set oozes Midcentury-modern style, thanks to tapered legs and clean lines. The detachable bolster pillow makes a great center divider that creates two clear seating options for daytime use. Or you can leave the bolster at the end of the piece, as shown. By night, this daybed can become a modern resting spot. Sweet dreams!
Another sleek find from CB2, the Lawndale Black Leather Daybed with Chrome Base looks welcoming when lined with a comfy pillow. Don’t resist the power of a fuzzy accent! Not to mention, this daybed boasts a feature that many do not: a back cushion.

Note that the Turn Daybed is available in several color options, including the rich Bordeaux fabric of Fiord, shown below. The leather belts really pop against the dark tone of the fabric. Add more color with an array of cushions! ferm LIVING offers a variety of decorative pillows for your browsing enjoyment.
A budget-friendly option for modern design lovers, IKEA’s FYRESDAL features a powder coated steel frame and the ability to serve as a double bed for sleeping purposes. Two twin mattresses (stacked during the day) get the job done, thanks to a pull-out bed that’s cleverly concealed. Mattresses are sold separately. Note the potential for under-bed storage in the photo below:
