If you are busy furnishing your garden and terrace or looking for new lounge furniture, you have probably come across the term daybed. But what exactly is a daybed? Literally translated: daybed. Huh? A bed for during the day? Yes! And for outdoors, at that. When you have a few hours (or a whole weekend) to chill at home and the weather is nice, it is a shame to stay indoors. Want to stay? With a daybed in your backyard, you bring the relaxed feeling of your bed or couch outside and catch those lovely sunbeams and refreshing fresh air.
Daybed, sunbed, or lounge bed: what is the difference?
Okay, that sounds nice, of course. But aren't a sunbed or lounge bed good enough then? And what is actually the difference between a daybed, sunbed, and lounge bed?
A lounge bed sounds (and feels) like a dream in your garden. You can lie stretched out on it with several people, but it has no backrest if you prefer to sit. It is also often a large and bulky thing that is not easy to lift or slide. Therefore, you cannot chase the sunbeams with it as the hours pass and the sun moves.
That is possible with a sun lounger. This is a more compact piece of furniture, often not as heavy and easy to move. The disadvantage of a sun lounger, however, is that only one person can lie on it at a time and it often has a fixed shape.
With a daybed, you essentially combine all the benefits of a lounge bed and a sunbed. The Blomus daybeds that you in the Bath&The Living webshop and store you can find are made of lightweight materials, making them easy to move around your garden and onto your terrace. The Blomus daybed is essentially a large, comfortable cushion that you can lay completely flat to sunbathe in complete relaxation or even take a nap. However, thanks to the handy metal frame, you can also set the backrest upright so you can relax while sitting. Whether flat or upright, the Blomus daybeds are spacious enough to share with two people; all the more sociable!
When do you choose a daybed?
A daybed is the perfect piece of outdoor furniture if you primarily want to use your garden or terrace as a place to relax. Reading books or magazines, sunbathing, and taking naps; if these “activities” are important to you, then choose a daybed. Also not entirely unimportant: a Blomus daybed is a real eye-catcher in your outdoor space. Your garden or terrace immediately looks more luxurious when you place a daybed.

Which daybed suits your garden?
Perhaps, as a “professional lounger,” you feel completely drawn to a daybed. But does a daybed suit your garden? The required space is a key factor here. The standard Blomus daybed measures 120x190 cm when laid completely flat, i.e., without the metal frame underneath. Also, ensure you have enough space around the daybed to walk around and to place a side table if desired. After all, your drink needs somewhere to sit. This daybed is perfect for relaxing with two people. We are happy to provide a little more information. tips on installing and maintaining your daybed, so that you can enjoy it for as long as possible.
Are you not planning to share your daybed with anyone, or do you simply not have enough space? Then there is also a narrower version of the daybed with dimensions of 80x190 cm. With the headrest raised using the metal frame, the daybed takes up just slightly less space.

Blomus daybeds and the Stay series
