The Perfect Daybed for Better Sleep and Style
A nursery should be the sweetest room in a home. A place filled with calm, smiles, snuggles, laughter, and the sweetest of dreams. Parents spend so much time in this space thus, it should be beautiful, functional, and ultimately a place that is enjoyable. My goal was to design a space that I looked forward to visiting every day. I wanted to feel happy in this space, and I wanted my baby to feel the same. So after having operated in the room for the first few months of my son’s life, I took to my design pad, and began jotting down all of the things that could provide more tranquility for him and I when nursing and relaxing in the nursery.
After jotting everything down, the element that stood out the most was seating. Initially there was a barrel chair in the nursery (I would try to nurse and sleep on this during sleep-training our baby boy) and it was very uncomfortable. I dreaded having to sit there to nurse. Jack (our baby boy) would have to ball up tight, for us to both fit in the chair during feedings. On days when my husband worked east coast hours (we live on the west-coast) Jack and I would have to wake up at 2:30am and relocate to the nursery, while my husband took business calls in our main bedroom. Trying to sleep in that barrel chair was a nightmare.
After spending many early mornings nursing and trying to nap in the barrel chair - I was fortunately able to partner with Sixpenny to give the nursery some much needed comfort and tranquility with the addition of their Neva Daybed. I love the minimalist coastal comfort and tranquility that I feel from this daybed. Another aspect I enjoyed was the customization when making my selection. I opted for the Poly Fill in the Jasmine Rice Medium Weight Linen colorway to suit the needs I had for the piece in this room. Once I made all of my selections I chose white glove service and in the blink of an eye the daybed was delivered and dropped off right in the room.
Since the Neva Daybed has been in the nursery, nursing and relaxing in the room has become a breeze. It has been a pleasure taking frequent naps near the little one as he sleeps in his crib as the daybed offers enough depth and length even for the taller folks (like my husband who is 6’4”) to lay comfortably. I’m at the point now where I almost look forward to some of my husband’s really early mornings just for more time on the daybed.
With all that said, being an interior designer the look and quality matter just as much as functionality for any furniture piece I procure and in this regard the Neva Daybed does not disappoint. Sixpenny purposely designs their furniture with ethically-sourced materials handcrafted to stand the test of time. When the daybed arrived, I immediately noticed the craftsmanship .From the look and feel of the Medium Weight Linen to the sturdiness of the kiln-dried solid hardwood frame and arm. They even went as far as to cleverly conceal the zippers to make it aesthetically appealing, but easy to find in case you need to pull off the slip cover and clean any spills or odors.
To put it simply, the Neva Daybed provided much more than better seating in our nursery, it enriched the space with family bonding, tranquility, and comfort.
