If you have a guest bedroom, you'll want to select a mattress that'll ensure your visitors' comfort during their stay. However, that can be easier said than done if you have multiple guests coming, each with their own needs. Before heading to the furniture store, consider the following factors.

Guests

When purchasing a mattress, think about your frequent guests. If your elderly parents or grandparents will be sleeping there, a firmer style with durable, solid supports is best. This option will make it easier for them to get in and out of bed, especially if mobility is an issue.

If children are on your guest list, medium mattresses provide comfort and support for younger bodies. You may even consider memory foam that contours to the body for optimal sleeping. Memory foam is also best if you'll have multiple guests sharing the bed at one time, since it adjusts to different bodies and sleep habits.

When your guests range in age and needs, choose a versatile mattress with medium firmness, or a medium hybrid. This middle range will cater to almost anyone. It's firmer than a soft plush build, but not as hard as a truly firm bed.

Size

Size is also an essential characteristic for a guest bedroom. First, consider how much space you have available. You don't want to try to squeeze a king mattress into a small room, as this will lead to a cramped, uncomfortable space for guests.

If square footage isn't a concern, the next step is to consider your guest list. For frequent couples, choose at least a full-size bed, though a queen or king will afford them more spacious accommodations. For children, twin beds are usually enough. If you have a varied guest list, play it safe and select a full or queen.
