Whether you have family that visits once a year or friends that visit more regularly, choosing a great mattress for guest room will ensure that your visitors get a good night’s sleep every night.
The best guest mattress will have superior comfort and support that’ll give your guests hotel-like luxury in a familiar place.
Generally speaking, a mattress’s material will largely determine how the mattress feels.
Made from a type of polyurethane, Memory Foam mattresses have different layers of foam that contour the body and slowly compress when pressure is applied.
This type will allow your guests — regardless of their size — to slowly sink in while evenly distributing their body weight and increasing comfort.
Our Deluxe Sofa Bed mattress with Memory Foam may be just what you need.
One of the most traditional types, Innerspring mattresses — also known as “spring mattresses” — have a simple design.
They use a coil support system that’s sandwiched between two thin comfort layers, as well as a high-density foam base. This offers bouncy support and is great for back sleepers as well as those who sleep hot.
Innerspring mattresses come in three types:
If an Innerspring mattress sounds great for your guest room, then why not consider our heavy duty 8” Park Meadow Pocketed Coil mattress?
As the most widely used material in bedding, foam (polyurethane) is generally more responsive than memory materials and varies in quality and density.
Foam mattresses provide support and pressure relief, and are cheaper than Memory Foams.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly mattress for guests (without compromising on quality), then our Elation Gel Foam home mattress with organic cotton may be just the one.
Made from the sap of rubber trees, Latex mattresses are bouncier, more breathable, and more durable than Memory Foam.
Plus, they aren’t only natural and eco-friendly — they also offer superior benefits that will boost your guests’ sleep experience.
First off? Spinal support and pressure relief, so your guests have their pressure points cushioned.
And, since natural latex is non-toxic, getting this guest room mattress means that guests who have allergies, sensitive skin, or skin conditions (such as eczema) can sleep safely and comfortably.
Our 8.5” Natural Latex Mattress With Organic Cotton will keep your guests comfortable, safe, and happy! Or, if you have a sofa bed for your guests, our Natural Latex Sofa Bed Mattress will help them sleep like royalty — without breaking the bank!
A guest mattress should be as comfortable and as supportive as possible.
This is because your guests, whether you want them to stay longer or not, need a good night’s sleep so they can wake up feeling refreshed, instead of grumpy and in pain.
When choosing a mattress for guests, keep in mind that you want a mattress that supports all types of sleepers, regardless of their size or sleeping position.
The support layer of a mattress provides structure and zoned support for the spine, hips, and shoulders. Some are more cushy than others, including Memory Foam.
The best guest room mattress should be one that strikes a perfect balance between contouring and support. It should offer pressure relief, provide edge support, and be responsive enough to change positions easily.
We know it’s not always easy to please everyone, but think about luxury hotel mattresses — they do a great job of providing comfort to all types of sleepers!
You can do the same with your guest bedroom mattress.
The trick is to pick a mattress that’s Medium to Medium-Firm. These levels cover the broadest range of preferences and offer a great balance for all sleepers.
Budget can play a big role in selecting a mattress, but it’s important to not compromise on quality.
Cheaper materials and manufacturing can seriously compromise on the integrity and life-span of your mattress, and you don’t want to have to keep buying a new one every few years!
Thankfully there are solutions out there for finding a mattress that fits great with your price-range and that also ensures a great night’s sleep.
The less the bed will be slept on, the less you’ll need to worry about making it an expensive luxury mattress.
However, even if you don’t regularly have guests staying over, you still want to invest in a pleasant experience and durable guest mattress that will stand the test of time.
If you want to give your guests a good first impression, then don’t underestimate the importance of a clean and tidy guest room.
Declutter, use fresh linens on your new guest mattress, and make sure their room smells like they’ve just stepped into a space or a luxury hotel!
If there’s one thing no-one likes, it’s sweaty (and smelly!) guests. Keep your guests cool by ensuring you have enough fans and ventilation so they don’t have uncomfortable stay.
Guarantee your guests feel like they’re at home by making it easy for them to get what they need.
If you know you have a guest who loves fruit, for example, buy more fruit and place some in a basket in their room (or even in the kitchen where they can easily find them!). Plus, ask what you can do to make their stay more enjoyable.
When preparing for your guests, think like a hotel. How do hotels manage to please so many different visitors without changing things around? The answer is comfort!
How comfortable you want your guests to feel depends on you. For example, hotels have snacks and drinks in their rooms so that a guest doesn’t have to go searching (especially in the middle of the night!).
They also provide things like towels, toiletries, and even magazines or brochures that show local attractions and activities they can do. The more comfortable and convenient their guest, the less your guests will depend on you!
We previously mentioned that it’s important to have fresh linens ready for your guests. This is something hotels do very well.
For example, the Liquid Gel Memory Foam Pillow has outstanding support that conforms to natural curves, so your guests can sleep pain free. Plus, its soft and awesome removable Tencel™ mesh cover has temperature and moisture-regulating comfort, all whilst the Z™ Gel not only captures but also distributes heat.
If you’re not looking to buy a new mattress but still want to pamper your guests, then why not improve their experience by getting a custom mattress topper?
Our custom mattress toppers are designed to elevate any uncomfortable and boring mattress to one your guests (and you) will love.
