Room Bedding
Outfitting Your Guest Room Specialty Sleep Style
Many people get frustrated with their guest room beds because they get musty and dusty with disuse and guests suffer the consequences. You’ll see advice about laying dryer sheets between the beds or leaving mattresses stripped until its time for use by a guest, but the dust mites having a party in that old mattress are probably the root of the problem. Rather than suffering through stripping the bed, beating the mattress and vacuuming every month (or more often), why not think ahead and buy the right specialty sleep bed for your guest room or basement room and make your life a little easier?
In many instances, an air bed is literally the perfect solution for a guest bed. No matter where your guest bedroom is located, in the attic or in the basement or in between and no matter how frequently or infrequently its used it will stay fresh and comfortable for every guest you have. You may be thinking that it’s too much money to invest in something not used every day but if you think it through you’ll see the logic.
First, airbeds, when treated properly can literally last forever. Most come with limited 20 year warranties and if you maintain your airbed properly it can last twice as long as a traditional inner spring mattress. You can top an airbed with a memory foam mattress topper and you can use traditional sheets and bedding. This kind of value is hard to come by, especially when you consider that if you need to break the bed down it will also take up a fraction of the space of a traditional mattress.
Secondly, airbeds are hypo allergenic. Because the main support in an airbed is air in special chambers, dust mites have no place to reside. You can also empty your air mattress and refill a couple of times a year just to make sure the bed stays fresh – but since it will not deteriorate the same way an inner spring mattress will, it will carry far less dust and fewer allergens than a typical mattress. This means no matter your guest’s state of health, you won’t be aggravating them with a dust mite infested sleeping environment. Since dust mites are a leading contributor to both allergies and asthma, keeping their presence to a minimum can mean the difference between a peaceful night of rest and tossing, turning, sneezing and wheezing. If your guest room is located in your basement or in your attic and outside of your standard climate control an air mattress will also resist deterioration and mold that might come from being exposed to a basement or attic environment.
The third reason to consider an airbed is that many nowadays are adjustable. If your best friend loves to sleep in cushy, pillowy comfort but your sister in law likes a firm and stable mattress, they can both have what they want. Each guest can customize their sleep experience and better rest will mean happier guests! Keep seasonal bedding on hand to make winter perfect for snuggling and summer light and airy and your guest’s won’t ever want to go home!
Airbeds can cost anywhere from $800 and up depending on what size and features you need and what your vendor is offering. Feel free to shop and compare in person and online. You may find that the internet will yield better prices than a brick and mortar store front! Many sites now are offering free shipping and price matching and they can offer lower prices because they carry less overhead. Get the best deal possible, save yourself some work and ensure that your guests have a comfortable place to rest – find the right airbed for your guest room!
