One of the first decisions you will have to make when choosing your swing bed is the material. If long-lasting durability is at the top of your list, consider a cedar porch swing bed. Cedar is called ‘a wood for the ages’ for a good reason - it is resistant to bugs, mildew, splintering and warping, and it only gets more beautiful as it ages. Cedar is a popular material for swing beds and is available in a range of styles – from delicate and elegant with thin slats to rustic and modern, chunky and solid. For maximum comfort, we recommend adding a mattress and a few cushions to make napping easy in your new daybed style cedar bed swing.
