Which is better for a guest room?

The Ivory daybed fits a classic guest room better, with its nailhead trim and taller back. The Modern PU daybed works if the room is small and you want the lower frame and shelves.

Do either include a mattress?

No. Both are frame-only and take a twin mattress, and the trundle takes a twin as well. Budget for two mattresses if you plan to use the trundle.

Which is better for a small room?

The Modern PU daybed is 27.8 inches tall versus 37.2 inches for the Ivory, so it sits lower under a window or sloped ceiling. Both are about 42 to 44 inches wide and 79 to 81 inches long.

Which holds more weight?

The Modern PU daybed lists a 250 lb bed capacity and 550 lb max. The Ivory listing gives no weight capacity, so ask the store before you buy if that matters.

Is the bookcase on the Modern PU daybed useful?

It adds shelf space behind the seat for books or display items. The Ivory daybed has no shelving, so you would add a side table or shelf.

Which is easier to assemble?

The Ivory ships in one box and buyers praise its numbered instructions. The Modern PU ships in two packages, which usually means more steps and a longer build.

Ivory Upholstered Twin Daybed with Trundle & Nailhead Trim vs Modern PU Upholstered Tufted Daybed with Trundle and Cloud Shaped Guardrail, Wood Sofa Bed Frame

Buy the Ivory daybed for a guest room or living room where you want a classic upholstered look and a trundle that pulls out for a second sleeper. Buy the Modern PU tufted daybed if you want a lower, lighter frame with a cloud-shaped guardrail and a bookcase built into the back. Both are frame-only twin daybeds with trundles, so the mattress is an extra cost on either. No current price was given for either product, so compare store prices on this page before you decide.
