Guest Beds - make your visitors feel at home!

We have all had people to stay in a Guest Bed and we have all stayed in one at other peoples homes, whether you are attending an event or just visiting during a holiday.

But lets be honest, most of us expect an uncomfortable night of sleet when we are outside of our own familiar bedrooms, don't we?

Well, when you are re-decorating or renovating your guest room, it is worth considering a few additional factors in order to give your guests the most comfortable night of sleep possible. I have thought about this a lot recently and here are a few things that are important in my opinion. Many of these considerations are simple to effect and will help your guests to feel refreshed and happy when they wake up the next day.

Oak Guest Bed
The Bed
Well its fair to say that the standard guest bed is not really suitable any more - the foldout beds we all remember are now a thing of the past and an abundance of other styles are now available. Although the fold out bed was never comfortable, it was popular because of how space saving it was. However, guest beds today offer space saving solutions that still offer a good night of sleep. Take the pull out guest bed (pictured) - this bed is normally a single, but with a couple of small changes will convert into a comfortable (and sizable) double suitable for a good nights sleep for two. Most importantly, make sure the matresses are suitable for the bed as a poor mattress is one of the most common reasons for a bad night of sleep.

The Bedding
We all know the feeling of having crisp clean bed sheets when we start a slumber, so why not treat your guests to the same feeling. Bedding doesn't have to be expensive and some of the most luxurious bedding around can be found online at excellent prices.


The Room
Make the room as welcoming as possible, just by making sure there is a light that is easy to turn on in the dark you can make a huge difference. Some people go even further and provide a kettle, cups and tea or coffee so their guests can make a brew when they wake up without disturbing anyone else.

There are many things you can do to make a guests stay comfortable and this list is by no means exhaustive. If you are looking to purchase a new bed for your guest room and are looking for suitable space saving solutions then speak to a bed manufacturer or supplier who will be able to give you more information on the range of products available.
