It’s great to be able to open up your home to visiting family and friends. In order to ensure their comfort, you want to be discerning when choosing the mattress that will go in your guest bedroom. Whether you have visitors regularly or just during the holidays, here’s a quick guide to help you make the right selection.

Think About Size

Most guest bedrooms are small when compared to other rooms in the house, and they sometimes serve a dual purpose and double as a den or an office. Choose a bed and mattress that’s big enough to be comfortable for sleeping but not so large that it will get in the way when the room is being used for something else. A double will be large enough for most guest scenarios without dominating the space.

Consider Different Sleeping Preferences

When you shop for a mattress for yourself, you typically know what you’re looking for in terms of firmness. Not so when shopping for a guest room since it will be used by a variety of people with different sleeping preferences. A “firm” option may be too hard for some of your visitors, while a “plush” model might be too soft for others. To find the right balance, chose a “medium firm” or “medium hybrid” model, both of which combine the softness and give of memory foam with the firmness of innerspring design. 

Give Yourself a Budget

A bed isn’t a frivolous investment, and it’s easy to overspend if you walk into a mattress store without a budget in mind. Decide how much you’re willing to spend before you shop, keeping in mind that while you don’t want to drop too much money on a bed that won’t be used daily, you also don’t want to purchase one that’s low-quality and uncomfortable.
