Daybed

A daybed is an item of furniture used as a bed as well as for lounging, reclining, and seating in a common room.

Many of today's daybeds employ a linkspring as the support system for the mattress.

The linkspring is a rectangular metal frame (roughly the footprint of the mattress) with cross supports.

A wire or polyester/nylon mesh held in place by a network of springs lies across the top of the linkspring.

The linkspring design provides support and creates clearance underneath a daybed for storage.
