day bed

Sofa for napping

A day bed is a couch or sofa designed to double as a bed, typically with a back and sides that frame a mattress-sized surface.

Unlike a regular sofa, it's meant for lying down fully extended—for napping, lounging, or overnight guests: The guest room has a day bed that pulls out.

Also spelled daybed.
