Â
A: The primary difference is depth. A standard 4-to 5-foot porch swing is typically 18 to 24 inches deep and designed for sitting. A 4-5 Foot Porch Swing Bed is still 48-60 inches long but is significantly more profound, usually 28-36 inches deep.
This extra depth transforms the piece from a seat into a deep-seated lounge piece. While you cannot entirely lie down like a twin bed, the 30+ inches of depth allows:
Lounging sideways with your legs tucked up.
Sitting facing the side.
Comfortable seating for two with massive back cushions for lumbar support.
This size is the perfect compromise for those with medium-sized porches who want the depth and lounging feel of a swing bed without the extreme space requirements of a full or twin mattress.
A: The 4-5 foot swing beds are primarily designed asextra-deep, luxurious seating for two adults, or intimate, cozy seating for three. An adult can also lie diagonally or on their side for a comfortable nap.
Capacity: The weight capacity is robust, typically ranging from600 lbs to 850 lbs, reflecting its deep frame and capacity for three people. This capacity requires strong overhead joists, similar to a traditional 5-6 foot swing, but the increased depth adds a slight complexity to the mounting.
Cushioning: These models often feature a single, thick, deep bottom cushion and large, loose back pillows, allowing users to customize their recline and depth.
A: This size is much more manageable for a standard covered porch.
Porch Width: For a 5-foot (60-inch) bed, you need a porch width of approximately8-9 feet (96-108 inches) to allow for side clearance.
Porch Depth: You must still allow4 to 5 feet of clear space in front and behind the bed. Although it is not as deep as a twin bed, the 30+ inches of depth still requires more clearance than a shallow 20-inch swing.
It is often the largest size that can be safely installed on a smaller porch without impeding walkways or making the space feel crowded. It offers a luxurious feel without requiring structural engineering consultation.
A: Look for designs that prioritize support and comfort:
High Back/Sides: A higher back and high side armrests help contain the deep cushions and provide a feeling of being nestled in a cozy spot, which is essential for comfortable lounging.
Frame Construction: The frame must be constructed with reinforced slats or a solid base under the cushion to prevent sagging, especially in the center, given the deep span.
Suspension Points: Look for four separate suspension points (one at each corner) rather than two points near the center. This four-point suspension provides the necessary stability and level plane for a piece designed for lying and deep lounging.
