Daybeds for Girls

1. Shop by style. Daybed frames come in a variety of materials and styles, from wooden sleigh daybeds to metal frames with intricate, curving designs. Let your daughter help choose - a metal daybed with a beautiful, ornate frame may be more to her liking and fit the style of her room more so than a heavy wooden sleigh bed.

2. Girls love sleepovers! Consider a girl's daybed with a trundle. A trundle is a great way to provide extra sleeping space without a lot of added cost. An easy pop-up trundle can give you the space of two twin beds, or you can push the two together to get a king-sized bed for three or four of your daughter's best buddies.

3. Think white. White goes with just about everything and won't clash with the pastel color scheme of most little girls' rooms. A white wood or wicker daybed frame serves as a great accent for pink or other pastel-colored bedding.

4. Show off your little fashionista's personal style. Girl's daybed bedding sets can go a long way toward setting the mood of the room. Let her help choose her bedding. While it may only suit her little-girl tastes for a few years, it's a simple matter to graduate to a more mature set later.

5. Mix it up. Can't find a complete bedding set to suit your little one's tastes? Try to mix and match. Find a sheet set she loves, then look for a comforter in a coordinating color -- or vice versa. And don't forget - a dust ruffle and pillow shams to match the bedding will help pull the set together and give it the perfect finishing touch!

6. Contrasting is key. When choosing a bedding set to go with your girl's daybed, a wood frame with a wood finish won't bring out the colors of a pastel bedding set as well as a white daybed frame. Make colors pop by choosing a frame that will spotlight the bedding set, not dull it down.
