Outfitting the Guest Room for a Great Night’s Sleep

The holiday season is upon us which usually means relatives are visiting. As if the holidays weren’t stressful enough, having aunt and uncles or parents staying in the guest room can add on to that strain. The last thing you need to worry about is whether or not the guest room is perfectly decorated for your visitors or where to find an affordable bed or mattress at the last minute. Our team at Fred’s Beds has a few tips on outfitting the guest room for a great night’s sleep!

Be a Great Host with Your Cumming Mattress Store

• Make room for their belongings: No one wants to stay in an overcrowded room. Make sure there is plenty of space in the guest room for Mom and Dad’s suitcase, counter space in the bathrooms for their toiletries, and some extra elbow room for anything else they may need. Courtney Carver, who documents her minimalist life on her blog, Be More With Less, says, ‘A peaceful space is easier to fall asleep in compared to a cluttered, chaotic space.’
• Create the perfect lighting: Good lighting creates a guest bedroom that is warm and inviting for guests and allows them to feel comfortable. While the main light can help with this, it is actually the bedside lamp that is essential for creating a calm environment. Find a lamp where the bottom of the lampshade is at about 20 inches higher than the mattress, providing the best light for reading.
• Eliminate bad odors: No one wants to sleep in a space that smells stuffy or has lingering pet odors of any kind. Scents like sea breeze and lavender are known to have calming effects and remind people of holiday vacations. Lemon is also a great scent, which helps with concentration, and has calming and clarifying properties.

  If you don’t want to use air fresheners, plants like Peace Lily or English Ivy clean the air while also minimizing smells.

• Provide the essentials: This is not a requirement; however, it can help your guest feel extra comfortable while staying with you. Leaving out much needed items like spare towels, travel-size shampoos, and lotions adds that special touch and makes you look like a wonderful host! It’s also important to show your guests where everything is so they have everything they need to live comfortably for their stay. This will allow them to feel at home in your space. Happy guests = happy host.
• Replace your outdated mattress with an affordable bed: The last, but certainly most important tip, is to replace your old mattress. No one wants to sleep on a used up, outdated mattress. Buying an affordable mattress for your guest room is a great way to add extra comfort for your guests during the holidays. You don’t have to break the bank to do it!
