Especially in smaller homes or rooms where space is limited, antique iron daybeds offered a space-saving solution. By combining seating and sleeping arrangements into one piece of furniture, they helped maximize usable space.
Daybeds serve dual purposes as seating during the day and a sleeping space at night. Antique iron daybeds provided a versatile solution for small spaces or rooms that needed to serve multiple functions.
Today……….more and more people are realizing the advantage a day-bed can bring to a small space and converting a traditional antique iron double size iron bed allows even more sleeping and lounging space. Lot’s of pillows can create a couch effect during the day. Removing the pillows at night gives more sleeping space than a traditional twin size iron bed.
One of the many advantage an antique iron bed brings to “daybed” configuration is its strength and durability. Unlike wooden or cheap reproduction daybeds, that tend to work loose over time…….antique iron beds are as secure and rigid as the day they were made, back in the 1800’s.
Another advantage of using an iron bed is its adaptability regarding “finishes”…………..the colors and “finishes” are countless and can accommodate any decor or color scheme. Also , a finish thats done today may not be appropriate when the room is remodeled. Iron beds can easily be re-finished to adjust to the new color scheme.
