Daybeds

Editors Note: This week, we focus our attention on beds. Bunk beds, platform beds, kids beds – we’re giving you the 411 on all things beds. In this installment we take a look at daybeds.

Daybeds remain a very popular choice. Knowing for their versatility and many styles, there’s simply no better way to provide more seating options when needed, and a stylish bed when it’s needed. Also, today’s modern daybeds have the option of adding a stylish and useful trundle.

Wondering what you should be looking for? Keep reading as we get you caught up on the various options for daybeds.

There are several types of materials to choose from. Wood daybeds are always a popular choice and remain the preferred choice. A rustic look is easily found as is the classic cottage framework. Of course, metal frames make for a contemporary addition to your home. Elegant or casual, modern or traditional – your biggest challenge will be settling on one style.

Add a trundle beneath your daybed to create additional storage and sleeping areas. Your trundle simply rolls out from under the frame for an additional twin-size sleeping space, perfect for the kids’ weekend sleepovers.

The Nightfall Daybed offers up a classic mission style design in a beautiful semi-gloss hardwood finish. The slight curve provides an additional styling feature and the trundle lies flush wit the hardwood framing. This is ideal for a living room or bedroom and remains one of the popular choices for our customers.

If you thought elegance could not be synonymous with daybed, then you’ve not seen the Rosebud Daybed. This sophisticated style plays on hues of black and brown, and with a beautiful texture in the arms and along the seat back. Sleek, stylish and an amazing look – you can’t go wrong with this choice.

Daybeds are here to stay – and once you own one, you’ll know why.

Bunk Beds

Editors Note: This week, we focus our attention on beds. Bunk beds, platform beds, kids beds – we’re giving you the 411 on all things beds. In this installment we take a look at bunk beds.

Most of us can recall having the way-cool bunk beds as kids, especially if we shared a bedroom with a sibling. And, too, most of us can recall a battle over who would get the top bunk – that was, after all, the best, at least in the eyes of a kid. Bunk beds are fun, versatile and practical, especially if there’s limited space in a bedroom.

Older kids will often, if given a preference, will choose one of the more contemporary designs that combine a sleeping area above a desk. It’s a great solution and really maximizes floor space.

Also, there are several contemporary bunk bed designs that allow you to incorporate a full size bed on the floor with a twin above. Many families like this style as it offers a solution for visiting guests and works well for weekend sleepovers.

One of the most unique styles we’ve seen in years is found in the Ranch Chest End Step bunk bed. It’s fresh and stylish. With bed stairs instead of the traditional ladder, there’s tons of clever storage in the staircase, too. This is truly a very modern design built for impression.

If it’s more of a traditional look you appreciate see, you’ll want to take a look at the mission style bunk bed in white. Made by Linon, this durable choice features beautiful pine wood, a crisp off white finish and durability.

We have a large selection of metal frame bunk beds and wood bunk beds in any number of styles. Browse our entire collection and if you run into any questions, contacting our customer service team is as easy as clicking on our “live chat” option.

One final bit of advice: be sure to measure the room your new bunk bed will be going into. You might discover more space than what you realized, especially if you wish to add one of the double/twin bed combinations.

Platform Beds

Editors Note: This week, we focus our attention on beds. Bunk beds, platform beds, kids beds – we’re giving you the 411 on all things beds. First up, we take a look at the wildly popular platform beds.

These days, shopping for a new bed opens up an almost endless array of options. Platform beds are one example of those options. Unlike traditional beds that incorporate a mattress and boxspring, a platform bed’s foundation relies on either a plat system or a solid panel in its foundation. Not only that, but these designs can help expend the life of your mattress.

Platform beds are modern, stylish and add a new dimension to your contemporary bedroom furniture. Because it’s made to be a lower profile bed, it presents a fresh look by keeping designs sleek with straight lines and corners that have a certain seamless feel.

The Lifestyle Solutions Canova queen bed is a fine example of platform beds. Note the rich dark finish on the wood frame and the vertical lines that dominate its appearance. A slightly curved headboard adds distinction.

A versatile choice with tons of great storage space is how the Prepac Espresso platform bed is best described. With two rows of storage drawers on each side and a near seamless line that meets the floor, this functional choice is sure to be appreciated by those who may have limited space in their home. We like it because it embodies all that consumers are looking for in modern home furnishings.

Also, for those who love the look of fine leather, be sure to check out the Lexington Leather queen bed. Surround yourself in sultry leather that surrounds the base and headboard. Stylish vertical stitching adds a bit of texture and the quality is seen in every inch of this design.
