Also, long, wide, sofalike seats, often with two low ends that somewhat resemble headboards or footboards, that can be used for sitting or sleeping. Daybeds are typically designed for one person to recline on and were historically sometimes used for the formal reception of visitors. They are generally placed against the wall or in a niche. ]]></note></mads>
