How to define a daybed is difficult because in essence it is nothing more than a bed that is placed and used in a daytime room. That however is something of an oversimplification as many companies now make day bed and some are bed manufacturers and others are manufacturers of sofas and couches.
The easiest way to describe the typical daybed is to say that it is a bed, but used as an alternative to a sofa in a living room or family room. This means that you can lay down and relax on a daybed in a way that would be difficult with a sofa.
Some daybeds look very much like a bed, and may even be dressed with pillows and a quilt! Others are more like a rectangular sofa where the depth of the seat has been lengthened quite considerably. The styles can be bedlike, sofa like and equally modern or traditional.
The size of these beds is a further variable. Some are large whilst others are no bigger than a small sofa. What all have in common is that they make something of focal point and one that cause a whole range of reactions from surprise and shock to amusement and acceptance.
Whether daybeds are just a fad or a trend remains to be seen. So far their popularity seems to be on the up, but these unusual ideas can disappear as quickly as they emerge, so only time will tell.
