With today’s mobile society, most people have out of town friends and relatives who occasionally come to visit. Being prepared with accommodations to sleep them for the duration of their visit will extend the time you have to spend with them. Luckily, there are a variety of choices for a guest bed and you should be able to find one that fits your needs and budget.

Few people today have the luxury of a guest bedroom and the furniture market has designed guest beds that can be used in existing spaces of most homes and apartments. One of the options is the folding guest bed.

Folding Guest Bed

A folding guest bed can be pulled out of a closet and placed where you have space, an office, craft room, family room, or even living room. It is much more comfortable than the couch and can be ordered in several sizes. The old fashioned roll away beds were constructed with spring support and were not very comfortable. If you have had experience with this kind of bed, rest assured that the folding beds, which are also on rollers, are mush more comfortable today. They are constructed of heavy-duty metal frame with wood slated support for the mattress. The mattress is usually thick foam or memory foam for a comfortable sleep. One style, the Freedom Sleeper Folding Bed, has adjustable positions for easy reading in bed.

Single Guest Bed

A single guest bed will of course take up less storage space. The above- mentioned folding bed in single bed size would easily roll into a closet. Another single bed option is a hide-a-bed guest cabinet bed. This bed is 31 inches by 75 inches and folds neatly inside a cabinet on wheels. The cabinet can be used as a piece of furniture in any room and can be rolled to wherever you want to open to a bed. Another option might be a day bed if you have an area that has space for sofa type seating during the day. Lots of styles are available and with cushions and bolsters can be a comfortable addition to a home office or even family room.

Cheap Guest Bed

For a cheap guest bed, the easiest solution is an air mattress. You can find them in the camping section of department stores or sports stores. They are easy to store and inexpensive electric pumps make them easy to blow up. By spending a little more money, you can get queen size air mattresses and even bed height queen air mattresses that are quite comfortable.

A tri-fold heavy foam mattress bed is available. It comes in a single guest size (29×75), twin size (39×75), or double size (54×75). They range in price from $194 to $271 and come in with covers in several colors.

If you have space for a guest bed, you might check out Amazon.com.uk. I located a white captains cabin bed for under $300. It had a pull out guest bed and 3 storage drawers.

Guest House Bed

If you are fortunate enough to have a guesthouse on your property, your guests will have the ultimate in privacy. Your guest house bed will no doubt be chosen to match the décor of the rest of the house. Visit retail furniture stores and online furniture sources to find all your options. When choosing the mattress for the frame you ultimately decide on, choose the best quality you can afford.
