The Best Beds For Guest Rooms
Whether your guest room is enormous or tiny, making the most of it is easy with the right bed. The right bed can make your guest room appear more significant than it is and convey a sense of luxury and comfort – ideal for making a great first impression.
Here are the best beds for guest rooms:
Day beds
Day beds have an under-bed trundle, which you pull out to create a spacious double or king bed. They take up half as much space as a regular bed and deliver excellent comfort with a thick mattress and slatted bed base.
The Julian Bowen Versailles is a great example; this bed takes up the same space as a small single bed but quickly transforms into a king bed. It also works as a sofa/lounger, enhancing its versatility when not in bed mode.
Pop-out beds
Pop-out beds like the Birlea Buxton take up the space of a single bed and transform it into a double by popping out the extra bed under the base. This bed type is perfect for small guest rooms used as a single most of the time.
We offer a wide range of pop-out bed styles, with the Flintshire Halkyn being a trendy model because it can be used as a single, double, or slide-out lower bed, giving you a 3-in-1 guest bed solution.
Folding beds
Folding beds (also known as put-up beds) have come a long way in recent years, thanks to innovations in mattress technology. Today’s folding beds are as comfortable as standard beds and occupy the least space.
You should choose a folding bed if you want maximum guest room floor space and the ability to store the bed outside the room. Beds like the Jay-be Royal fold vertically and have wheels, letting you cart them around.
TV beds
If you have space for a TV bed, your guests will appreciate it! TV beds host a TV built into the footboard that rises via remote control. It keeps your television off the wall or desk and gives guests an optimal screen view.
Many luxury hotels and Airbnbs have TV beds because they keep the television safe when not in use and give guest rooms a tidier appearance. We are big fans of the Cosmo TV bed with its plush high-buttoned headboard.
Ottoman beds
Ottoman beds are ideal for guest rooms because you can use abundant storage space under the base for bedding, bits, and bats. You can get them with a foot-end or side lift-up base to suit your bedroom layout.
Ottomans are also a good option for small guest rooms because the base is the same size as the mattress, so they take up less space than a standard frame. The Milan Bed Company ottoman is stylish with a white faux leather finish.
Small doubles
If your guest room isn’t quite big enough for a double, then a small double could be what you need. Small doubles are 4ft wide and 6ft 3ins long (120cm wide and 190cm long), six inches narrower than a double bed.
Small double beds are perfect for guest rooms because they take up less space, and you can get them as divans and ottomans. They can easily sleep two people, although large couples might find the size restrictive after a while.
Sleigh beds
Sleigh beds are arguably the most stylish and visually appealing guest beds, with a high headboard and a low, rolled footboard. These beds are synonymous with comfort, adding a soft and cosy finishing touch to any bedroom.
The Giltedge Westbury is a beautiful example, with a buttoned headboard, footboard, and plush velvet upholstery. This bed can also have drawers or an ottoman base with a right or left-side opening base.
