Do you want an extra-deep double lounger that you can also use as a guest bed? This midcentury full size daybed sofa provides a stylish place to relax, plus it transforms into sleeper when you need it!
Decorating Made Easy with this MidCentury Daybed Sofa:
The simple, basic design makes this furnishing look more sophisticated than your standard daybed. Plus, the velvety upholstery looks like suede, especially in the tan brown color.
Then, combine the elegant upholstery with a stylish or casual bedspread (see below for ideas) to essentially customer design your sofa. This factor makes it super easy (and fun) to match it with your existing home decor.
Furthermore, the Franklin Mid Century Daybed easily fits into virtually any room. In other words, the square shape and space-efficient design gives you more versatility.
The Franklin Daybed does not include a mattress, so you can get the type and height that you prefer. Many people find that a medium-firm mattress works best because it offers more structure for seating and a supportive soft surface for sleeping.
You don’t need to purchase a box spring because the slatted platform provides an elevated foundation for your bed. This on-purpose design also allows air flow through the mattress for a healthier sleeping environment.
Note: The Franklin Daybed only costs about $320 on sale. Compared to other similar models, this price is a total bargain.
For example, Pottery Barn’s Toulous Daybed costs about $,1599 (and that’s for the twin size!). Their Midcentury Morgan also costs $1,399. Even Hayneedle’s Charlton Daybed costs $850 for the smaller twin version.
You can take the money you save on a less expensive bed and invest it into a comfortable mattress, upscale bedding and plush cushions. In other words, you can achieve that sophisticated look if you want without spending hundreds of dollars more. =)

- Where to get the daybed
The diagram below shows all of the measurements for the bed frame. In addition, this midcentury style bed also comes in a twin size. The measurements remain the same except for the depth measures 41.5″ deep instead of 56.5″ as shown.
…or a Full-Size Daybed with Drawers:
Alternatively, you can get a similar boxy-style daybed that also includes storage drawers. The dimensions are virtually the same as the bed above.
However, this version doesn’t come with 8″ sofa legs since it features under-seating storage instead. And it costs approximately $50 more than the Franklin sofa above because you get drawers.
Although you don’t get the tapered wood midcentury style sofa legs, you still get the chic, contemporary design. In fact, the modern square shape and clean lines make this piece timeless.
Plus, it fits in well with virtually any style of home decor. For example, you can add bedding and cushions that give it a casual, shabby chic, eclectic feel.
On the other hand, you can dress it up for a more traditional or modern look. For instance, add a solid, neutral-colored bedspread and matching cushions. It coordinates well with loft-style, contemporary or industrial interiors.
