Hi there,

I'm moving into a two-bedroom and had exactly the same problem, till we decided that daybeds were unnecessarily expensive (and potentially uncomfortable, especially for two older guests, i.e., parents) and why not just buy a second bed instead?

This bed frame from West Elm is super cheap (and currently on sale): http://www.westelm.com/products/simple-bed-frame-g421/?pkey=cheadboards-bed-frames

I'm planning on doing something creative to make a faux headboard, like maybe finding a long, horizontal mirror from Craigslist to hang up above it, or something similar--thanks AT for your great post on creative headboards, FYI. You can get it in different sizes, depending on your needs, and our second bedroom layout still allows for plenty of space for a desk and a bookshelf.

Best of luck, whatever you decide!
