8 Daybeds That Make Any Room Feel Instantly More Sophisticated

Anyone with an affinity for the classics needs this West Elm daybed, which is not just stylish but very comfortable. It has that worn-and-loved feel, but it’s brand-new and contract-grade. Be sure to get it in any of West Elm’s 65 fabric options. The sweet little pillows on either end are, indeed, included.

We’ll always do a double-take when there’s a deal involved, so you can imagine how long we lingered on this product page. It’s similar to the West Elm pick, but it has slightly turned-up ends, which, in our opinion, makes it a very traditional take on a daybed that isn’t boring or just taking up visual space. It also comes in two sizes, which is rare for a daybed! Since it’s not a primary piece of furniture, it normally comes in only one standard size.

If you’ve ever seen a therapy session from a 1960s-era flick or television show, you’re probably familiar with the shape and vibe of this daybed. Sundays calls it the Doze Off because it’s much more conducive to naps than anything else, courtesy of the ergonomic pillow that goes right under your neck. Get it in two neutral shades, one cool and one warm.

This may be more of a loveseat or small sofa than a daybed, but the brand is calling it a daybed, so we will, too. Here’s why they decided to call the Maurice a daybed and not a sofa: It’s actually two more classic daybeds pushed together, but that’s how it comes. Get it in more than 80 fabric options that pair well with your space. Personally, we love a bright, punchy color, like this Harper Amber Gold.

Sabai’s daybed is relatively new to the sustainable brand’s arsenal of seating, and we are very much here for it. It comes in 10 earthy shades, all of which are available in ethically sourced fabrics, including a hemp blend, recycled velvet, and upcycled polyester. It’s low-profile, firm, and cozy—all the things daybeds should be. You may want to grab a bolster pillow or two to add a touch more visual interest to this otherwise very quiet piece.

Sixpenny is known for this very laidback, relaxed, lived-in look that’s exemplified in the Amelia daybed. All of the pieces, especially this one, look like they could live in a beachside chateau, and that is a vibe we can get behind. Back to the Amelia, though: It’s completely customizable, starting with the arm, which can come on the left or right side. Next, choose the fill: feather down or polyester fiber. Lastly, pick the fabric: linen, canvas, or velvet. You really can’t go wrong with this very cozy daybed.
