5 Creative Ideas for Additional Sleeping Capacity

Beach homes are made for guests! To help accommodate all your visiting friends and family, our design team creates versatile furniture that offers stylish seating during the day and comfortable sleeping space at night.

Whether you have an extra room or guest room to furnish, or simply want to maximize your everyday space in almost any room, we have a solution.

DOUBLE DUTY BEAUTIES

1. Daybed or Settee 

These versatile pieces offer daytime seating for two that easily turns into a twin bed at night. Daybeds are one of the most flexible ways to maximize the space in a guest room, sunroom, home office, or just about anywhere.

Design tip: An upholstered daybed can be floated in the room to provide seating in any direction, or placed against the wall for sitting and sleeping.

2. Sleeper Sofa

Our sleeper sofas come in all shapes and sizes, transforming your living space from daytime to evening in a snap.

Craftsmanship tip: Our dense foam mattress offers superior support and comfortable protection from the mattress support bars below.

We receive compliments over and over that our sleepers don't feel like sleeper sofas. Equally loved by homeowners and overnight guests, these pieces are the perfect combination of form and function.

4. Bunk Beds

Our bunk beds look just as great stacked or separate. Colorful bunk beds are an ideal way to add a pop of color and maximize vertical space in a kids bedroom or a vacation home that needs to sleep your extended family,

Design tips: Pair two sets of bunk beds to instantly transform an extra room into a kid-friendly guest room for four. Add a bed bin, or two, for extra off-season clothing or toy storage.

If you’re short on space and looking for additional sleeping capacity, we’ve got the answer. Hiding a Maine Cottage trundle neatly underneath a day bed, bunk bed or twin bed is handy for sleeping extra guests.
