Stroll though any furniture store and you'll see couch beds in all different styles, from modern to French. It's so hard to choose from the attractive styles offered. They are perfect for extra sleeping space for overnight guests. They save space and convert to a bed quickly to provide a good night's sleep for relatives and friends.
The day bed seems to be a modern invention, however, it has been in use since the earliest civilizations existed. They were used in ancient Greece and Rome. They are known by many names such as hideaway beds. Always convenient and lightweight, they are space-savers.
Folding Bed Table
Native American tribes had a type of couch bed. During early Medieval days, the titled nobles moved often and their furnishings had to be lightweight for easy portability. Although they had peasants to help with work, only so many things could be moved that often. The ancient Chinese were accustomed to using the same furniture for seating and bedding.
Other names for the popular couch beds are pullout couches and sleeper-sofas. They are made as bunk beds and chair sizes to sleep one person. The child sized ones are good for kid's bedrooms and sleepovers. Many are fashioned with bed pillows that convert to sofa pillows in the daytime. This is another way to save space because no extra pillows are needed.
In the Renaissance, the Italians had a daybed that was in tent form. Arabian tribes used tents and created daybeds out of piles of pillows, cushions and blankets, which they sat on by day and slept on by night.
A Gothic version of couch beds was a wooden chest, similar to today's cedar chests only longer. It had raised wooden arms at each end and was long enough for a grown person to sleep on. It was a very handsome looking piece of furniture and made excellent seating.
There are day beds to fit in every home and match every style. You can buy them in leather upholstery, simulated leather and microfiber material as well. The futon style can be changed to any new color by adding a cover that is purchased separately. When you tire of one pattern or color, simply buy a cover for a whole new look.
For an uncluttered appearance, select a modern or contemporary style. Some are without arms, and all come in various sizes. Some sleep one person, while most accommodate two people. One French style looks as if it's sitting on a box. All the couch beds are available in a variety of materials, patterns and colors. Modern styles are set on legs. The convenience of quickly providing a comfortable bed for overnight guests is one of the finest features of this piece of furniture.
