Day Beds

A day bed is multifunctional for lounging and sleeping. They're similar to sofa beds; however, they don't require any assembly to switch from a sofa to a bed. Instead, they look like a sofa with a backrest and a mattress base, meaning you can easily use them for seating and sleeping.

So, if you have many overnight guests or are simply looking for a second sleep spot when your partner is snoring too loud, day beds are perfect. If you're unsure whether a day bed is right, why not look at our useful blog? Plenty of helpful information in our day bed guide will help you decide, whilst our day beds vs sofa beds guide explains the difference between these popular choices!

Most day beds are standard single-size, made to accommodate a traditional single mattress. Happy Beds offers day beds in various sizes, so you can choose one to suit your space. A small single day bed is ideal if you're trying to save space, while small double day beds allow a little more room to stretch out and get comfortable.

For even more sleeping options, you can choose a day bed with a trundle, which expands to create a double-sized sleeping area. Find out more about bed sizes in our handy bed size guide!

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:

• Day beds with storage - many of our bed frames are available with built-in storage, such as handy drawers. Especially useful in smaller rooms, they're great for tucking away spare bed linen or toys in children's rooms.
• Day beds with a pull-out trundle - if you want your guests to have the space of a trundle without having a double bed dominating the space in your spare room, a trundle bed could be the answer. Simply pull out the mattress beneath the frame and interlock the two together to create a double day bed.
• Metal day beds - add a chic, timeless touch to any room with a metal day bed. They're the perfect durable yet decorative choice.
• Wood day beds - super practical and long-lasting, a wood day bed will stand the test of time no matter your decor choices.

As they come with a base that fits a mattress, day beds are similar to a regular bed - the only difference is they have three sides, providing a backrest for sitting. As 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 particularly useful as children's beds or teenagers' bedrooms.
