Questions
What is a day bed and how does it work?
A day bed is a single bed frame with a back rail and end rails that make it look like a sofa when styled with cushions. By day it acts as seating; at night, swap cushions for a duvet and it's a full single bed — no folding or converting required.
What size mattress does it take?
A standard UK single mattress — 90cm wide by 190cm long. Any standard single mattress will fit.
Is it comfortable to sit on?
Yes. The slatted base provides firm, even support and the frame proportions are designed for both upright sitting and lying. Add scatter cushions and a bolster for the full sofa effect.
What rooms does a day bed work well in?
Home offices, studies, snugs, small spare rooms, and teenagers' rooms — anywhere that needs seating and occasional sleeping capability without dedicating the space to a full bedroom.
How long does delivery take?
Free UK mainland delivery, typically within 3 working days. Ships flat-packed directly to your door.
How long does assembly take?
Around 20–30 minutes using the included instructions. No specialist tools required.
More details
The Day Bed Advantage
A day bed earns its floor space twice. In a home office, study, or snug it sits against the wall as a sofa or reading perch during the day. Overnight guests get a proper sprung single bed without the room feeling like a dedicated bedroom. The metal frame version is lighter than wooden equivalents and easier to move when the room layout needs to change.
Style Notes
Metal day beds style beautifully with scatter cushions and a bolster along the back rail. Add a throw draped over the end for a pulled-together look. Pairs well with industrial, Scandi, and modern-traditional styles.
