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.

Selecting the perfect bed for your guest room requires careful consideration of space, functionality, and comfort to ensure your visitors enjoy a restful stay.

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.

These versatile pieces of furniture serve as both a comfortable seating option during the day and a cosy sleeping solution at night, making them perfect for multi-functional guest rooms.

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.

The elegant design features ornate metalwork and a classic silhouette that adds a touch of sophistication to any guest room. The high-quality construction ensures durability, while the pull-out mechanism operates smoothly for easy transformation.

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.

The innovative design allows for quick and effortless conversion, making it an ideal solution for unexpected overnight guests. The sturdy construction ensures stability in both configurations, while the clean lines and contemporary finish complement various interior styles.

We offer a wide range of pop-out bed styles, with the Flintshire Halkyn (pictured below) 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.

This versatile piece features high-quality wooden construction and a beautiful oak finish that adds warmth to any room. The smooth-rolling mechanism ensures easy operation, while the robust frame provides excellent support for a comfortable night's sleep.

Folding beds

Folding beds (also known as put-up beds) have advanced greatly in recent years thanks to innovations in mattress technology. Today, they are as comfortable as standard beds and occupy the least space.

Modern folding beds feature premium materials and advanced spring systems that provide exceptional support and comfort, rivalling traditional fixed beds. Many models now come with memory foam mattresses that conform to the body's contours, ensuring a restful night's sleep for your guests.

If you want maximum guest room floor space and the ability to store the bed outside the room, you should choose a folding bed. Beds like the Jay-be Royal fold vertically and have wheels, allowing you to cart them around.

These space-saving solutions are particularly beneficial for homes where guest rooms serve multiple purposes or where storage space is limited. The addition of high-quality castors makes transportation effortless, while the secure locking mechanism ensures stability during use.

TV beds

For those seeking to combine comfort with entertainment, TV beds offer an excellent solution for guest rooms. These innovative beds, which can include features similar to sofa beds when in day mode, provide a luxurious experience for visitors.

The integrated TV mechanism allows for comfortable viewing from bed, making your guests feel like they're staying in a boutique hotel. Many models also feature USB charging ports and ambient lighting, adding to the premium experience.

When selecting a bed for your guest room, consider how frequently you host overnight visitors and how the space is used when guests aren't staying. Options like day beds and sofa beds offer excellent versatility, serving multiple purposes while ensuring comfort isn't compromised.

Whatever your choice, prioritise quality construction and comfort to ensure your guests enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.

If you have space for a TV bed, your guests will appreciate the luxurious touch it adds to their stay! TV beds feature an innovative design with a television seamlessly integrated into the footboard, which elegantly rises at the touch of a remote control.

This sophisticated setup eliminates the need for wall mounting or desk placement, providing your guests with an optimal viewing angle for maximum comfort. The clever engineering ensures the screen is perfectly positioned at the ideal height for in-bed viewing, creating a premium hotel-like experience.

Many luxury hotels and high-end Airbnbs have embraced TV beds as their preferred choice because they offer multiple advantages. These beds not only keep the television protected when not in use but also contribute significantly to maintaining a clean, uncluttered, and professionally styled appearance in guest rooms.

The hidden TV mechanism, similar to the versatility found in modern sofa beds, allows the room to maintain its sophisticated ambiance while providing entertainment options. We are particularly impressed with the Cosmo TV bed, which showcases a sumptuous, high-buttoned headboard that exudes luxury and comfort.

The attention to detail in its craftsmanship, from the premium upholstery to the precise button placement, creates a stunning focal point in any guest room.

Ottoman beds

Ottoman beds represent an ideal solution for guest rooms, offering an ingenious storage solution with their spacious under-bed compartment, perfect for storing extra bedding, seasonal items, and various household essentials.

These practical beds provide an impressive amount of storage space without compromising on style or comfort. To accommodate different room layouts and accessibility preferences, they are available with either a foot-end or side lift base mechanism, offering flexibility in how you access the storage space.

Ottoman beds excel in small guest rooms due to their space-efficient design, where the base dimensions perfectly match the mattress size, resulting in a more compact footprint compared to traditional bed frames.

This smart design maximisation makes them particularly suitable for rooms where space is at a premium, similar to how sofa beds optimise space in living areas.

The Milan Bed Company ottoman stands out with its contemporary styling and sophisticated white faux leather finish, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The high-quality materials and construction ensure durability, while the smooth lifting mechanism provides easy access to the storage space beneath.

Small doubles

For guest rooms where space is somewhat limited but you still want to provide comfortable sleeping arrangements, a small double bed could be the perfect solution.

These beds are thoughtfully designed to be 4 feet wide and 6 feet 3 inches long (120cm wide and 190cm long), making them six inches narrower than standard double beds while still providing ample sleeping space. This clever dimensioning makes them an excellent choice for guest rooms where every inch counts.

Small double beds offer versatility in their design options, available in various styles including divan and ottoman configurations. These beds provide comfortable sleeping arrangements for two people, though larger couples might find the width slightly restrictive for extended periods.

The space-saving benefits make them particularly attractive for guest rooms, offering a practical compromise between single and full-size double beds.

Sleigh beds

When it comes to making a style statement in your guest room, sleigh beds stand out as perhaps the most visually striking option available. These elegant beds feature a distinctive design characterised by a dramatically curved, high headboard and a complementary low, rolled footboard.

This classic design element creates an immediate impression of luxury and comfort, making them perfect for creating a memorable guest room experience.

The sweeping curves and traditional styling of sleigh beds add a touch of timeless elegance to any bedroom, making them an excellent choice for those looking to create a sophisticated and welcoming space for their guests.

The Giltedge Westbury is a stunning example of sleigh bed craftsmanship, featuring an exquisitely detailed buttoned headboard, a gracefully curved footboard, and luxurious velvet upholstery that exudes sophistication.

This versatile bed frame, which shares the same attention to detail as premium sofa beds, can be customised with practical storage solutions, including spacious drawers or an ottoman base.

The ottoman option comes with a choice of right or left-side opening mechanisms, allowing you to adapt the bed to your room's layout while maintaining its elegant aesthetic appeal.
