Guest Beds: What You Should Know

If you are moving to a new home or apartment or remodeling your present home, you probably want to make sure you can accommodate overnight guests. There are numerous choices for guest beds and what you choose will depend on the space you have, the amount of money you can spend, and how you will decorate the space you place where the bed will be.

If you have a room that can be strictly designated as a guest room, you can use any bedroom décor that you choose. You can math the décor of the rest of your home or be as whimsical and imaginative as you wish. Keep in mind that the most important choice will be the guest bed you choose, because, ultimately you want your guests to have a good night’s sleep. Shop for a good quality mattress that is neither too firm nor too soft. Choose at least a double guest bed and a queen if the room size and your pocketbook can accommodate it.

If you do not have the luxury of a guest room, there are still a lot of options to accommodate occasional overnight guests. Guest beds include folding guest beds, cheap guest beds, and inflatable guest beds.

Folding Guest Beds

Several kinds of folding guest beds work well in a room a multi purpose room such as office/guest/craft/library. A couch that pulls out to make a bed is one choice. When selecting a couch that will serve as a bed, be sure to have the sales representative, demonstrate how to pull the bed out, and try the mattress to make sure it is the comfort level you want for your guests. Couches that make into beds are available in several sizes—double and queen sizes being most popular choices.

Another popular choice for multi purpose use is a futon, which can be a comfortable couch or a guest bed when needed. You can choose the frame to match the décor of your room. Do an on line search to discover the many choices of frames—they come in colonial, traditional, modern, or in wood or metal. The mattress and the cover is usually sold separately, so you can choose the most comfortable you can afford and the cover to match your room.

Murphy beds are another kind of folding guest beds. This is a bed that is built into a wall. The bed sits upright, hidden behind doors that look like closet doors, and the entire bed, already made up with sheets and blankets, folds down for your overnight guest.

A relatively new product in the category of folding guest beds is a memory foam bed that is made up of three large cushions that stack, but can unfold to make into a comfortable sleeping mat.

Inflatable Guest Beds

For those looking for cheap guest beds with the added convenience of easy storage when not needed, there is always an air mattress. There is the single size camping mattress which most of us are familiar with as well as newer versions which come in queen size, with pillow tops, and raised to bed height. A Simons Extraordinaire Pillow-Top Air bed is a queen, raised bed with a spring loaded valve system so the firmness of the mattress can be adjusted. An inexpensive electric pump makes inflating an air mattress quick and easy.

With careful planning, and doing some research on guest beds, you can find the best solutions for your overnight guests to fit your circumstances and budget.
