How do daybed mattresses work?

When delivered,  mattresses will have often been rolled up to ease transport and delivery. Many arrive compressed in a box and may require a few hours to fully decompress to their original size and thickness. 

For both safety and ease, it would be most efficient to remove the mattress for daybed from its packaging in the desired room, location, or bed frame where you would like it to sit.

Once unpackaged you simply insert the mattress into the frame of the daybed, as you would a normal mattress on a bed.

Once fitted, daybed mattresses are then often covered with bedclothes and furnished with pillows and cushions around their edges, making them a comfortable seat in the day which can be easily and quickly rearranged to form a bed.

Who would use a daybed mattress?

Daybed mattresses are a great solution for people who may want the option of an extra bed but may not always have the room for one available. 

As the daybed can be used as a sofa they are very versatile and are suitable for many rooms in the home but are most often found in guest bedrooms and lounges which can be transformed into a spare bedroom when necessary.

Daybeds are the best space-saving alternative to an actual bed and their multiple functions make them a worthy investment.

How much do daybed mattresses typically cost?

Depending on the quality of materials, design, and size of the mattress, the price of a standard day bed mattress can range from $100 – $250. 

More expensive options can range up to $500 but include added extras such as higher-quality foam materials, adjustable bases, and free bonuses like memory foam pillows. Low priced alternatives can be purchased for as little as $70.

Cheaper floor mattresses may utilize less high-tech materials yet nonetheless function as comfortable, safe, and durable mattresses. It is important to remember that a lot of brands have seasonal offers and discounted deals allowing you to purchase a high-quality mattress for a lower price.

What are the key features to look for when buying daybed mattresses?

To find the best mattress available,  it needs to be suitable for you, daybed frame and function. Below are some of the key features to look for to ensure the best purchase for your needs.

Size

The size of your daybed furniture will affect the mattress size you need: such as twin, full, queen or California king; yet the most common size for a daybed is the twin mattress.

Twin daybed mattresses fit a variety of frames, including those with a trundle and therefore there is a wider selection of this size available,  in many different designs and materials.

Thickness

The desired thickness of your mattress will depend on both the size of the bed frame and the level of physical support required by the customer.

Thicker foldable mattresses tend to be softer to lay on, making more comfortable and warm sofas and sleepers yet the high level of thickness can cause them to be less physically supportive for the back, neck, and spine.

Thinner mattresses are often more firm and supportive for the body and provide coolness during sleep. The thinness of a product makes it the perfect mattress for daybed and trundle due to its ability to fit neatly into the bedframe.

Materials

Many brands utilize modern, cleverly engineered materials to design the best, high-quality products. There is a selection of these different materials to look out for including ActivCharcoal and green-tea infused foams which help to aromatically soothe and reduce odor.

You can also look for memory foam, which shapes to each body to provide tailored support for the back and spine and also a variety of different quilted covers which ensure a final level of comfort.

Delivery Option

It is important to check the delivery options when ordering a mattress. Many companies will have different delivery options and speeds available depending on how soon you may need your mattress.

Many mattress products are now cleverly compressed, rolled and packaged in a box to ease transportation, smooth delivery, and create space when unboxing.

If a customer has little room available in their house it would be most important to check that products arrive cleverly packaged so that they can be easily moved and placed on their desired bed.
