Question: I found an xl twin mattress here that states the length is 80". Seems long for this bed. How long should it be for blankets, sheets, etc.?
Document: This daybed was delivered as advertised. It looks great in our sunroom and seems to be a sturdy piece of furniture. Assembly was pretty easy and directions were clear. Other reviewers said that an XL twin mattress was needed, but we are using it with a standard twin. I'm not sure an XL would actually fit easily. The only problem we found with the bed was a loose knob on the trundle. My husband fixed it with a slightly larger screw.
Great bed, easy to assemble, but as some reviews will tell you, size is an issue: a normal twin mattress will be very very tight on the sides (so tight that you can't put the sheets on) and will have 3 inch gaps at the top and bottom of the bed (hence people advising to take a twin XL mattress with it, which is a pain for finding sheets).I like the bed, very elegant and nice, but don't understand why manufacturer won't adjust measurements.
And there are indeed about three-inch gaps between the twin mattress and the end posts of the bed on each side, the reason I am giving the bed only four stars. I can't figure out the reason for the gaps, but I was afraid to order an XL twin mattress, due to its custom size and the fact I have two other twin beds in the unit, so I didn't want different size sheets for the daybed and the trundle.
Great, sturdy bed. We use it for our guests. Very large! Used xl twin mattress on top and regular sized twin for bottom. Lots of compliments.
I ordered this bed because I liked the pictures and I thought the reviews were very positive. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the construction. It was easy to assemble (I did it by myself) and exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait for the grandkids to come visit and sleep in it! Please note - if you're ordering new mattresses to fit this bed, the top mattress will need to be extra long, and the drawer will hold a standard twin.
You get what you pay for and this day bed is extremely well made. Very simple design but all solid wood and brass screws and wood screws.One person can easily put this together and the directions are very straight forward and simple. I am really impressed with the quality.One as mentioned in many of the other reviews is to buy and extra long twin size mattress for the top day bed and the trundle takes a standard sized twin.
I looked around online and at stores for quite a while before deciding on this bed. I needed a daybed that fit an extra long twin mattress. This bed is perfect. The trundle fits a regular twin mattress. The bed arrived just as described. It is solid wood and very sturdy. It is absolutely beautiful and has been great for my daughter and guests. I did a lot of comparison shopping before purchase. Some competitors (including Target online I believe) advertise the "Casey Daybed".
Bought this bed for my sons who share a room. They love it! It is solid wood. Easy to assemble. Top mattress should be extra long twin but not an issue here. Completely satisfied and would purchase this item again.
Also, another thing to mention if using the bed for small children - most standard mesh bed rails are not completely effective because there is no box spring for them to latch onto.So in short, it is a really pretty bed, but probably needs a twin extra long mattress and it may best be used as a guest bed or for older children.
They also did not state the dimensions, so I wasn't sure if it would fit the extra long twin. For $8 more, I got this Fashion Bed Group Casey Daybed which is SOLID WOOD. Well worth a few dollars more. This was a great purchase that will last for many many years.
Answer: I purchased an XL twin for the bed.  It does fit tight and with a mattress pad it's a little difficult to tuck in bedding. BUT if you used a regular twin on this bed there might be too much of a gap if you were using it for a small child.
