The 10 Best Daybeds of 2024 for Adults and Kids

This minimal design looks elegant in any space, from a guest bedroom to the living room. It includes a repurposed wood frame, cushion-coated slats and three twin-size PillowBoards that can be configured to best suit your space. The versatile daybed is easy to pair with your aesthetic — choose from four wood colors (walnut, natural, espresso and gray) and four upholstery shades (light linen, dune, fog gray and dark charcoal).

With Thuma, you don't need to worry about tricky assembly. The daybed can be put together without any tools and only requires two screws to be tightened by hand. Just keep in mind: You'll need to buy a twin-size mattress separately.

With a simple and elegant design, this twin-size daybed frame is an affordable option for kids' rooms, guest rooms or living rooms. The metal frame provides an impressive 12.6 inches of under-bed storage, ideal for small space living. Or, you have the option to purchase the daybed with a trundle that's equipped with six caster wheels.

For less than $150, this metal daybed provides a lot of bank for your buck and looks great, according to online reviewers. It's available in black or white, plus a variety of different styles (including modern and vintage). Assembly should take between 30 and 40 minutes, plus all tools are included.

Upholstered in chic velvet, this daybed blends the elegance of a sofa with the function of a bed. Choose from gray, black or blue velvet, or opt for gray or blue linen. Beneath the slats, there are two pull-out drawers that are perfect for storing blankets and pillows.

Overall, online reviewers are pleased with the quality, noting its comfort, visual appeal and durability. It's also available as a twin or full, making it more functional for adult overnight guests. Most reviewers agree assembly was simple, although some wish the drawers were of higher quality.

A great option for kids' bedrooms or small guest rooms, this multi-functional daybed can comfortably sleep two — or, three if you opt for the full-size frame. The sturdy metal frame is accented with arches and whimsical balls to elevate the style of your space. Plus, you can choose between black, white or turquoise.

Online reviewers are raving over the quality, appearance and ease of assembly. While some online reviewers love that the trundle isn't connected, which offers the option to move it around for guests, others found it inconvenient. This expensive, versatile option is ideal for kids, teens or smaller adults, but taller adults may not fit as comfortably.

Not only does this petite daybed fit at the end of a king-size bed, it'll look striking in the living room, home office or guest room as extra seating. Although this pick is pricey, you won't have to worry about purchasing a mattress — it comes with a deep, loose cushion that's reversible. On a scale from 1 to 5 (5 being firmest), the Shelter daybed is a 2 with its cozy cloud feel.

Choose from an array of fabrics, including linen, velvet and chenille tweed, plus two different sizes (71" or 86"). The compact size makes it a smart option for small spaces, but keep in mind it may not be the best pick for hosting overnight guests (it's a few inches narrower than a twin-size mattress).

Both children and adults will love this chic daybed, which features faux velvet upholstery, vertical stitching and plastic legs with a dark wood grain finish. The twin-size daybed, available in pink, blue and gray, is the best choice for kids' bedrooms. Plus, there's a hidden trundle bed that's perfect for sleepovers.

Online reviewers found it's well-made, sturdy and beautiful, although a few note that the color doesn't look exactly the same in person (the pink appears more muted).

Available as a twin, queen and king size, this mid-century upholstered daybed is a practical choice for adults. The upholstered style appears enough like a couch to seem intentional in a living room, but the variety of sizes make it comfortable for adults to sleep on. It features a sleek silhouette, slim wooden feet and linen upholstery that pairs with any home style.

Most online reviewers found it easy to assemble and noted the final product felt sturdy and of good quality. Of course, you'll need to purchase a mattress separately. And, keep in mind that certain styles are only available in one color — luckily, all of the options are super versatile.

Hand-curated by musician and television personality Kelly Clarkson, this French country-inspired daybed can double as a couch in your living space. It features one arm, a high-low back and elegant feet. According to online reviewers, it's good quality (especially given the low price) and looks beautiful (reviewers love that it's easy to dress up with pillows and blankets). Most note that it's easy to assemble, sturdy and ideal for a small space.

While most online reviewers are happy with the quality, a few dislike that the back of the daybed is unfinished. Keep in mind, you'll want to face the back of the daybed near a wall to optimize style.
