Ideas for Using a Sofa Style Daybed in the Living Room

Why Get a Daybed VS a Futon or Sofa Sleeper?

Today’s daybeds offer more style and sophistication, plus they still have plenty of space-saving functionality. Not to mention, the beds are super convenient to set up.

You can make them super cozy, due to their deep seat design. And the full-size daybeds offer an even more luxurious lounger experience. Talk about a great spot to watch a movie!

Alternatively, if you don’t necessarily need a sofa and could use extra storage space, you can get a murphy bed with cabinets. These well-designed fold-up beds make very efficient use of space, except you don’t get the couch.

Grey Furry Duvet Cover for Daybed

Customize Your Daybed Sofa:

Furthermore, you get to choose your own mattress, bedding and pillows. Essentially, you can custom-design your sofa by cushion firmness, seat fabric and cushion material.

For example, some people use a daybed bedspread set, while others opt for a pinch-pleated comforter or even a fur duvet cover. Get lots of pillows of just a few, and mix up the colors – or not.

Of course, this also means that you can easily and affordably update your sofa anytime. No boring living room furniture here!

Sofa Style Daybed with Pull-Out Trundle

Note: You don’t need a boxspring because the frame has a built-in slat system that supports the mattress. In addition, the slats allow for ventilation, so you get air flow to your mattress and extend its life.

Vintage Daybed Armrests, Upholstery Stitching and Victorian Style Carved Wooden Sofa Legs

Distinctive Sofa Mixes Well with a Variety of Home Decor Styles:

This vintage-style daybed features delicately-carved wooden legs and wing back arms that make it look more like a sofa. Plus, the diamond tufting gives it a unique style that you wouldn’t expect from a sleeper bed.

No matter what home decor style you have, this distinctive sofa will likely fit right in. (And it might even become the attention-getter in the room!)

I see it in eclectic, shabby chic, industrial, rustic, modern farmhouse, contemporary and of course traditional style homes. In other words, don’t be afraid to use a daybed as a couch.

The best daybeds for living rooms are typically ones that look like sofas. In other words, they don’t make your entertaining space look like it doubles as a guest bedroom. =)

Actually, daybeds can work surprisingly well as a living room couch because their deep seating makes them so comfortable. Furthermore, daybeds with trundles or storage drawers eliminate the need to dust or vacuum under the sofa. Bonus!
