But both sides don’t have to worry, as there are a number of fantastic Guest Beds out there that suit both the owner of the bed and the one sleeping in it!
In this blog we will take a look at what makes a great guest bed, some of the best guests available, and of course, guide you on where to buy one.
Let’s start with what makes a great Guest Beds.
A great guest bed needs to tick a few boxes for it to be worth the money.
Firstly, it needs to look good and be functional, but that’s a given when it comes to any form of bed, in all honesty.
Secondly, they need to utilise space well within the home, as they aren’t for permanent usage. You don’t want them taking up too much room in your floorplan as they won’t be used all that often, when compared to your every night bed.
They also need to be comfortable, as although they won’t be used all the time, you don’t want your guests having a poor nights sleep as a result of a dodgy guest bed.
As well as all of this, they need to look the part, simply because you will get sick of looking at it if it’s rarely used and looks unappealing. Ugly furniture in any room can ruin the atmosphere or vibe you’re going for, so it’s always good to get the aesthetic right.
This means you need to match the bed to the style of your guest rooms or home at large. Or if you have a particular guest who comes over often, maybe a granddaughter or younger relative, buy a bed that matches their personality and style preferences, so they feel at home when they visit.
Here at Number One Beds, we stock a fantastic range of guest beds which fit every purpose you would require, so let’s dive in with some examples of some of the best guest beds available.
The Jemima Guest Bed comes in a soft pink gloss colour and features a heart design at both the head and foot-end of the bed.
This makes it ideal for a daughter who often has friends or cousins coming for sleepovers. The pullout guest bed is cleverly stored beneath the bed, making it the perfect guest bed for kids, particularly girls, in your family.
The Jemima is available in pink and comes in two sizes, the 2’6” small single and the 3’0” standard single.
Another children’s bed that has hearts at the heart of it’s design is the Chloe. But rather than going all out with the pink colour, this is finished in white and features larger hearts at the foot-end and head of the bedframe.
It features a pullout bed beneath, and is another brilliant contender for the perfect kids guest bed, particularly if your little ones have regular sleepovers.
It’s available in small single and single sizes and is available with Number One Beds for £165.83. Take a look at The Chloe Guest Bed in Ivory for more details.
The Marseilles Guest Bed in Black Gloss is a more regal design and therefore more suited to adult guests.
It’s not as blatantly gendered as the first two in our list and features a traditional yet modern design. This makes the Marseilles Guest Bed in Black Gloss ideal for almost any home, and you can mix and match the mattress and duvet cover set to suit the style of the room it’s going in.
The additional guest bed neatly stores underneath the Marseilles, making it the perfect guest bed for any and all guests that you might have staying over. It comes in a standard single, 3’0” size, and the mattress isn’t included.
The Lyon is a versatile number that comes in an array of colour options, from pink gloss to black and even ivory. It comes with the bed beneath the bed, which is ideal for extra sleeping arrangements, and features a traditional frame that would work well in almost any home environment.
Again, you can choose the colour of the frame to match its surroundings, and the various different options available make this a great all-rounder if you have a different mix of people often staying at your home.
The Celine is finished in a silver with wooden accents and features a tubular straight design.
It’s a brilliant addition to a more modern home environment thanks to this design and is great for your guest bedroom or living space as an additional bed for your guests.
The Celine comes in 3’0” standard single size and features a pullout bed that is stored beneath the bed frame which helps utilise space efficiently and effectively.
Another offering from Lyon comes in the form of this beautifully elegant day bed. This one has the added benefit of being useable as a sofa or couch area during the day, giving that extra layer of versatility in terms of both style and functionality.
But it’s much more than a sofa bed, it’s extremely comfortable and its frame styling means it can be finished with cushions during the day and can be transformed into a bed at night with the addition of duvets. Another mattress pulls out from underneath the Lyon Day Bed, making it suitable for two people to sleep on if you have more than one guest.
It comes in three colours, black, ivory, or pink, and is available in 2’6” single or 3’0” standard single sizing.
But that’s not all, at Number One Beds we’ve got a few more contenders for the best guest beds…
Daisy Guest Bed in Pink or White – A strong contender for the top kids guest bed we have on offer, the daisy is versatile in the colours you can select. This makes it suitable for both boys and girls as a guest bed option.
Brennington Guest Bed Silver – This one is more of a neutral bed in terms of styling but is probably most suited to a modern home thanks to its silver tubular framework. It features a bed that slides out from beneath, making it the perfect guest sleeping solution for the modern home environment.
Penny in Pink or White – This one is another versatile kids’ guest bed and is available in pink and white with a pullout bed that appears from underneath the frame. It’s simple design and choice of different colours makes it great for both boys and girls.
Sometimes, if you can’t clean a mattress, then it’s beyond repair. If there’s a particularly bad stain or smell emanating from the bed that won’t go away, sleeping in it is a bit of a no go. And if this is the case, you’re going to need to buy a new one.
We stock a massive selection of mattresses online, so take a look around and find one that suits you. Or you can give us a call on 01325 485000 to find out more, or visit our physical showroom and shop in Darlington to test drive a new mattress and buy in-store.
