Our Favourite Day Beds to Maximise Space and Comfort
A daybed functions as a couch or small sofa during the day and a bed at night, helping you maximise floor space in small rooms.
Day beds usually have backed sides and can range in size from double to king when converted into a bed. They have a trundle bed underneath – a smaller bed you pull out to provide extra sleeping space.
This article reveals our favourite day beds to maximise space and comfort.
Let’s jump in!
What is a day bed?
A day bed is a convertible single bed with a trundle that creates two single beds or one larger king-size or double bed. They are typically used as a seating area during the day and can be easily converted into a bed at night. Day beds are an excellent choice for small spaces and can provide extra sleeping space for guests.
What are the benefits of day beds?
The most significant benefit of day beds is they take up less space than traditional beds and provide extra sleeping space for guests. Additionally, they don’t look like regular beds when not in use, making them ideal for offices.
You can dress day beds with throw pillows and blankets to become a stylish focal point in your room. Additionally, day beds are easy to assemble and move around and are usually more affordable than traditional beds.

Without further ado, here are our favourite day beds:
Julian Bowen Versailles
Price: £334.
The Julian Bowen Versailles (pictured above))has a bright white stone metal frame with ornate finials, bringing a touch of Victorian elegance to your space.
The under-bed trundle pulls out quickly from underneath, letting you set it up as a king-size bed or two single beds ideal perfect for sleepovers.
This day bed has a sprung slatted base suitable for any mattress and a high foot/headboard, letting you pile up cushions without them falling off.
Milan Bed Company Madrid
Price: £459.
Wooden day beds don’t come any better than the Milan Bed Company Madrid with its modern frame and arched headboard.
Available in oak or white, the Madrid converts into two single beds or one king-size bed, ensuring you can accommodate different guests.
The trundle bed slides out with a simple platform construction, letting you quickly create a full-size bed, with the mattress base having sprung slats.

If you want a more luxurious day bed than the Versailles, check out the Urban Beds Zodial with its silver velvet upholstery.

We adore the Zodial’s silver velvet fabric and high, stately side panels and button detailing, which deliver a touch of elegance to any bedroom.
This bed frame converts into two single beds with the bottom trundle on wheels, making it an excellent option for two children and sleepovers.
Julian Bowen Jessica
Price: £449.

The Julian Bowen Jessica is a charming New England-style day bed with fluted panel detailing and a cream finish. The pull-out trundle lets you quickly create two single beds ideal for children’s and guest bedrooms.
We love this day bed’s high-quality pine frame, fluted panels, and cream colourway, reminiscent of cottage and farmhouse furniture.
Although the Jessica day bed doesn’t convert into a king bed, it is a fantastic option for kids’ sleepovers and sleeping two adults occasionally.
Bedmr Tyler
Price: £459.

If you want a trundle bed for a kid’s bedroom, the Bedmr Tyler is a fantastic option with built-in shelves and a modern grey wooden frame.
The Bedmr Tyler has a pull-out trundle bed with a single mattress, giving your kid two beds without taking up lots of floor space.
When the trundle bed isn’t in use, the Bedmr Tyler turns into a single bed that looks like a small sofa, helping it fit into any space.

I love the look of the Julian Bowen Versailles as it looks unusual!
We had a day bed for visitors when we started out
Wow! Some really stylish day beds here. We actually have a sofa bed in our living room for exactly the same reason. It’s space saving and it can accommodate guests too if they want to sleepover. I like the idea of turning our sofa into a bed on lazy weekends and our whole family can laze around in bed all day
We are just downsizing and I want one of these to make the guest bedroom multi purpose. I’m thinking the Versaille which is a bargain. Cheaper than a sofa or a bed!
People forget how important it is to find the right bed for a good night’s sleep – great post!
