Queen Daybeds

A queen-size daybed corresponds to the dimensions of a standard queen-sized mattress, which is 60 inches wide and 80 inches long. 

However, daybeds have additional design elements, such as a stylistic frame, headrest, storage options, side panels, or armrests, so they might be two to four inches bigger. Therefore, it’s crucial to remember these slight differences when bringing one in. 

Finally, the height varies based on design, but most models will align with the standard bed height — approximately 25 inches off the ground. The space beneath the bed can also double as an extra storage space.

Balancing functionality and aesthetics are the keys to styling a queen-sized daybed. Here are some practical ideas:

• Plush cushions and pillows create a backrest and comfortable lounging space during the day.
• Along with different textures and patterns, a color scheme complementing the room’s decor adds visual interest. 
• Fitted sheets with a coordinating duvet can maintain a neat appearance. 
• A stylish throw blanket, rug, or decorative elements like a side table or a floor lamp are other ways to lend a cohesive look.
• Strategically putting your daybed by a window will let you color-coordinate with curtains and blinds.

Yes! You can use a queen daybed as your primary bed. But they also serve an additional purpose. In rooms with limited space, such as a studio apartment or home office, a daybed can double as a lounging area during the day and a place to sleep at night. With a queen-sized daybed, there is ample room for two adults to sleep comfortably or a solo sleeper to thrash about unencumbered. 

Invest in a high-quality mattress for maximum comfort and support if you want a daybed as your primary sleeping space. Other things to look for are the daybed’s frame and construction to ensure sturdiness and features, such as storage space.
