How to Move a Daybed

A daybed is lighter than a full bed frame, but its decorative ironwork or carved panels need more careful handling than a plain platform frame does.

Pro tip: Photograph the rail-to-panel connection points before disassembly, daybed hardware is less standardized than platform beds.

Watch out: Decorative ironwork on daybed head and foot panels bends easily under pressure, never stack heavy items on top of a daybed panel in the truck.
