Comfortable seating area

 

Simply put, a daybed is a twin bed turned to the side in order to save space and create a comfortable seating area in place of a couch, and then at night it is used for a bed.

Usually, the daybed has a frame, with a headboard, footboard and sideboard along the back.  (See picture above)  It fits a twin sized mattress which doubles during the day as a seting area.   It is common for daybeds to have shams or large bolster pillows along the back to be used as backrests when being used for seating.

The daybed uses twin sized sheets, twin sized comforter, and daybed sized bed skirt.
