The Best, Most Stylish Daybeds!

On the hunt for a stylish daybed? I’ve done all of the searching for you and am sharing my favorites, including the one I chose for my own home!

I’ve jumped into working on my One Room Challenge bedroom and thought I’d share some progress! When we left off, this was the situation:

Our bonus room before the One Room Challenge

Part of the plan for my space was to replace our small loveseat with a daybed (see my week 1 ORC post {here} for more design plan details) that would do double duty as a hangout spot for my girls and a second bed for guests. I was inspired by this darling daybed that Ashley and Jamin of The Handmade Home have in their daughter’s room as seen in their fall tour a few years back {here}:

Daybed in Little Girl's Room

The Handmade Home

I knew that I wanted something neutral (white, gray, or rattan) and of course stylish and actually came up with a lot more great options than I expected. Before showing you what I ended up with, I’ll share a few of my favorites (affiliate links included at the bottom of the image) in case you’re looking for a daybed too! And I made the image below Pinnable in case you want to Pin now to save for later!

So many stylish twin daybed options! Love the ones with trundles (an extra spot for guests to sleep would be the best)! Lots of favorites here!

1    |    2    |    3    |    4    |    5    |    6    |    7    |    8    |    9    |    10    |    11    |    12    |    13

My final daybed decision was made after narrowing my choices down to five favorites including this Boho Daybed (found {here}) – don’t you love it?!

So in love with this daybed! Lots of other great daybed options in this post too!!

The biggest negative with this one is that it was designed to use with a specific boho daybed mattress and cover that would add some extra $$$ to the cost and that I was guessing wouldn’t be as comfortable to sleep on as a twin mattress.

I also love this white Daybed & Trundle (found {here}) and it would actually give us two extra beds instead of one which would be a real bonus!:

The cutest daybed!! Love this and the other stylish daybeds in this post!

And isn’t {this fabric daybed} pretty? It comes in beige as well as light gray and dark gray, is priced really well, and gets great reviews:

Textured linen daybed with trundle that looks just like a sofa!

I’ve also been eyeing this rattan daybed beauty (found {here}) for ages – love it so much!

Gorgeous rattan daybed - one of many beautiful options in this post about the best daybeds!

What did I end up with? I ordered this Indonesian daybed (found {here}). And after putting it together in my space, I’m in love!:

Gorgeous gray wood daybed - love! Post includes lots of other daybed options that are the best/favorites!

Honestly, the main reason that I went with it rather than one of the other options I was considering is price. I got it on sale and even with the shipping costs (the box this baby comes in is huge and crazy heavy – there was no way it was fitting in my car!), it was a great deal. It seems really sturdy and I love the wood color – it’s a brownish/gray that reminds me so much of the color of our dining room walls!

Love the finish on this gray wood daybed!

I’ve got a LOT of work ahead of me this week to catch back up to where I wanted to be on my One Room Challenge makeover timeline but first, I need a mattress and I’m hoping I can crowd source to figure out a winning one! I’m looking for a twin mattress that’s inexpensive but also comfy enough for the occasional guest to sleep on and I found that Amazon has several highly rated ones at very reasonable price points – if any of you have ever bought a mattress off of Amazon and have anything positive or negative to say about it, I’m all ears – please dish it!

UPDATE!!! After all of your helpful input and reading a ton of reviews I chose {this mattress}. And I’ve finished up this space – you can see the “after” of my bonus room makeover {here}!

XO,

KJ Signature

    We ordered a mattress in a box from Amazon. $245 for a king size! It’s the Zinus ultra plush memory foam and after sleeping on it a few months, we love it. I would recommend the Zinus brand and we would purchase again! Hope that helps and I can’t wait to see your room transformation!

    We bought the Spa Sensations memory foam mattress for our sons’ room in our cabin and they’re very comfortable! We went with the 10″ and bought bed slats from Amazon for underneath.

      I too have a 10″ spa sensations foam mattress- or rather, had one for my guest room. My daughter liked it so much, she took it for her bedroom and then my son asked for one for his bedroom. It’s very comfortable. They’re also available at Walmart with better prices than Amazon sometimes.

    This mattress is not cheap, but it is perfect. I have had fibromyalgia with awful aches and pains in all my joints until I slept on natural latex. You can buy a Taalay topper (online) for cheaper than this full mattress. You can google taalay toppers and you can find the full mattress at sleepponlatex.com. Hope this gives you an area to research before buying. You won’t regret either purchase.

      Linda I appreciate your input so much! It might be a little more than I want to spend on the daybed, but I need a new mattress for our master bedroom sometime soon and this could be a good option!

    I bought this one from Amazon at the beginning of last summer for our cottage, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!! I can barely go into our bedroom during the day because I desperately want to get back in bed! 😉 It is unbelievably comfortable and doesn’t get hot, as I’ve heard some do. I spent hours researching and this is the one I finally decided upon… Live and Sleep Resort Elite 10-Inch Firm Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress and Luxury Pillow

    Good Morning, Kris:

    First, I want to thank you for inspiring me weekly. Your beautiful eye seems to have no limits! I wanted to pass along a little lesson I learned just a few weeks ago. I rented a car to take my daughter, a NYC college student, to the Brooklyn IKEA to shop for her new four-roommate apartment. We bought everything she and her friends needed because this was a one-time trip. The downside: too many items to fit into the car, especially the fold-out loveseat/sleeper in a gigantic, heavy box (sound familiar?). We thought we would have to pay the pricey $100 delivery fee, when a friendly IKEA associate recommended taking the parts out of the box and fitting each piece into the car wherever there was room. Voila! It worked like a charm. We got everything home in one trip, avoided a shipping charge and waiting around for a delivery, and everything got assembled the same day (albeit at midnight!). If you haven’t already done something like this before, I hope you’ll find it helpful in the future. Thanks for all of your tips and I look forward to what’s in store for the rest of the year (especially the holidays!). All the best, Judy

    I got Zinus on Amazon as well. Twin for my 5-yr old’s big girl bed. Loved it so much we just got a queen one for the guest room. Can’t go wrong with the price and quality.

    I have no doubt your room will be lovely – as they always are! My favorite photos usually have Hope (and sometimes one of your beautiful girls) in them – I’m so thankful she is beginning to feel better! Our pets are most definitely one of our family members!

    I have this same daybed. Found it on a local buy/sell/trade group for a steal as well. We found a mattress actually from Walmart online that was delivered for free and good reviews. I then bought the world market mattress cover. We don’t use it as a bed as it sits in our sunroom as a reading nook.

    Hey Kris, I ordered the same daybed and was wondering if you ended up deciding on the mattress.
    I have also ordered the Marshmallow Burlap Mattress Cover and the reviews are saying cover is baggy on most mattress.
    Looking at Zinus brand but don’t know if I should go with 10in or 12in mattress and memory foam or gel?
    Going to using the daybed for everyday use.
