Guest beds & day beds
A sofa, a single bed, a double bed and (in most cases) storage – all in one piece of furniture. And, with many of the day beds in the IKEA range, you have a choice of mattress to get the comfort that you prefer. A day bed takes up relatively little space, yet gives you room to stretch out during the day and, by night, a place for you or your guests to sleep well.

The versatile charm of daybeds
A daybed is a clever fusion of style and functionality, offering a cosy spot to relax during the day and a comfortable guest bed by night. Whether you're furnishing a guest room, home office, or small flat, a multi-functional day bed could be the versatile piece you've been looking for.
What is a day bed used for?
A daybed is a multifunctional piece of furniture that serves as both a seating area and a sleeping space. During the day, the day bed functions as a sofa or lounging spot, perfect for reading, watching television, or simply relaxing. At night, it easily converts into a bed for guests or even for your nightly slumber. For homes with limited space, a trundle bed attached to your daybed offers extra sleeping arrangements, making it a smart solution for small rooms or spaces with multiple uses.
Can you sleep on a day bed every night?
Absolutely! Daybeds can be just as comfortable as regular beds for nightly sleep. Many daybeds are designed to accommodate standard single-sized mattresses, ensuring proper support and comfort. When choosing a day bed for everyday use, consider factors like mattress quality, frame durability, and your personal sleep preferences. With the right setup, a day bed can provide a cosy and restful night's sleep.
How to improve the style and comfort of a daybed
Daybeds can be enhanced in both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Here are some tips:
- Layer with pillows and throws: Add a variety of pillows, throws and blankets to create a cosy, inviting look. Mix and match textures such as a soft fleece blanket can create a cosy look while adding warmth.
- Use a bed sheet: A stylish bed sheet can transform the day bed into a chic seating area. Choose a cover that complements your room's colour scheme.
- Add a side table: Place a small side table next to the daybed for added convenience. It's perfect for holding a lamp, books, or a cup of tea.
- Incorporate storage: Some daybeds come with built-in storage drawers, ideal for keeping bedding, pillows, and other essentials neatly tucked away.
