Mid-century modern daybeds, handcrafted in Jodhpur — wholesale for importers, retailers and hospitality.
Low horizontal lines, splayed tapered legs and warm walnut and teak tones — built on a solid-wood frame in teak, sheesham, mango, acacia or reclaimed wood, with slatted, caned or upholstered platforms. Manufacturer-direct, compliance-documented and container-ready, from a trial piece up.
The mid-century daybed: sofa by day, guest bed by night, and a look your buyers already sell.
The daybed is one of the most dependable lines a furniture importer can stock — it works in a living room, a studio, a reading nook, a guest bedroom or a hotel suite, and sells across retail, hospitality and online channels. Give it the mid-century treatment — a low horizontal frame, a clean backrest, slim tapered legs and honest timber grain — and you have a piece that photographs beautifully and keeps reappearing in catalogues decade after decade. We build it as a genuine solid-wood product: a slim but strong frame that survives commercial use, finished in a warm walnut or teak tone that lets the wood speak. Choose a ready design from our catalogue or hand us your own reference.
The details that make a daybed read mid-century.
Tapered, splayed legs
Slim legs that angle out from a low frame — turned or CNC-shaped from solid teak, sheesham or mango, or set on powder-coated wrought iron for an industrial-mid-century edge.
Low, horizontal profile
A long, ground-hugging line with a light backrest and softened arms. Nothing bulky — the frame stays visually slim while a solid-wood core keeps the platform sound.
Warm timber & honest grain
Walnut and teak tones are the signature of the era. We finish to reveal the grain — natural oil, light stain or matt lacquer rather than a flat opaque coat.
Caned or slatted back
A hand-woven cane back panel or clean timber slats — the classic mid-century pairing of warm wood with a light, breathable surface the eye reads through.
Honest joinery
Mortise-and-tenon and dowelled joints, not staples into board. It is what lets a slim mid-century frame carry a mattress and daily seating for years.
Loose-cushion comfort
A mattress or a bench cushion with bolster pillows in your own fabric or leather — the upholstery stays separate so the wood frame remains the hero.
Every mid-century daybed starts with a solid-wood frame.
Teak is the authentic mid-century timber. Where a buyer wants the same palette at a more competitive cost, we stain sheesham, mango or acacia to warm walnut and honey tones that read the part — each with at least one solid-wood component. We never supply plywood-only or panel daybeds.
Teak frames
The authentic mid-century timber — dense, warm-toned and stable, with a tight grain that suits oiled and matt-lacquer finishes.

Sheesham frames
Dense Indian rosewood with a bold grain that takes a convincing walnut stain — our cost-advantaged route to the mid-century palette.

Our mid-century daybeds ship with FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of Dalbergia sissoo (sheesham), backed by ISO, SGS and SEDEX / SMETA audits. We are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, and we support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation and CARB / TSCA finishes — so your daybeds clear the port instead of sitting in it. See every certification we hold.
Care & longevity
Because the frame is genuine solid wood rather than veneered panel, a mid-century daybed can be sanded, re-oiled and re-finished across years of use — a real advantage for hospitality buyers and durability-led retailers. Keep the frame out of direct heat and standing damp, wipe with a dry or barely-damp cloth, and re-apply wax or oil on natural finishes once or twice a year; a caned back benefits from an occasional light damp wipe and air. We supply a care and finish-maintenance sheet matched to your order. Read our sheesham care guide.
Craft you can sell. Paperwork you can trust.
Most Jodhpur exporters sell one category on relationships alone. We pair genuine solid-wood craft with the compliance documentation, factory capacity and design flexibility serious buyers need — our own factory plus a vetted Jodhpur manufacturing network fulfils from a first trial order to large repeat container volumes, on a 30–45 day lead time, with QC on every piece. Factory visits are welcome on prior intimation.

Mid-century modern daybeds — wholesale & export FAQ
What makes a daybed mid-century modern?
A mid-century modern daybed reads by its lines: a low, horizontal profile, slim splayed and tapered legs, a clean backrest and a light frame that shows honest timber grain. We build that language on a genuine solid-wood frame — teak, sheesham, mango, acacia or reclaimed wood — in warm walnut and teak tones, with a slatted, caned or upholstered platform. It is a real solid-wood product, not a veneered particleboard shell.
Which wood and finish gives the best mid-century daybed look?
Teak is the classic mid-century timber. We also stain sheesham, mango and acacia to warm walnut and honey tones that capture the same palette at a more competitive cost. Finishes are matt or satin lacquer, natural oil or light stain — all CARB / TSCA-compliant — chosen to show the grain rather than bury it under an opaque coat.
What sizes do you make mid-century daybeds in?
We produce twin / single and full / double daybeds, with trundle or under-frame drawer storage on request, and build to your exact mattress size on OEM orders. Typical frames suit a 36 x 75 in or 39 x 75 in mattress. Send your market's mattress dimensions and leg angle and we manufacture the frame to fit.
Can these daybeds ship flat-pack to save freight?
Yes. Our leg-based mid-century frames are well suited to knockdown / flat-pack (RTA) construction, which lowers freight and breakage and raises container density — ideal for large importers and online sellers. Fittings, slats and assembly instructions pack with each unit; assembled and part-assembled options are available too.
Can you match a specific mid-century reference or private-label it?
Yes. We work as ODM (our catalogue designs) and OEM — manufacturing to your drawings, dimensions, leg angle, finish and upholstery, with custom CNC detailing, your branding and retail-ready or Amazon-FBA packaging. Send a reference image or spec sheet and we prototype to it before you commit to a container.
Are your mid-century daybeds compliant for US and EU import?
Yes. We document FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of sheesham, with ISO, SGS and SEDEX / SMETA audits. We are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, and support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA formaldehyde-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing.
