We love the feel of a daybed in the nursery. It's just such a cozy place to rest, play, or read to baby, especially when it's covered in extra blankets and pillows. But if you just don't have the room for a whole daybed, a chaise lounge offers a similar spot for snuggling with a much smaller footprint.

Even in a very small baby room like ours, we were able to fit a crib, dresser, and a chaise for feedings, reading and playtime. Another great thing about the chaise is you can easily repurpose it in the living room or master bedroom later if you move to a larger home.

Here are a few of our picks ranging in price from least to most expensive:

• The Karlstad from IKEA

• CB2's Annex Mocha Chaise

• PB Kids Elise Chaise Lounge
