Making Our Guests Comfortable

There’s nothing like the comfort of our own bed, but often, if we are visiting with family and friends, we may find ourselves sleeping in the guestroom on a mattress that we didn’t choose and may have been purchased based on being the cheapest available rather than its relative level of comfort. This can lead to aches and pains, tossing and turning, restlessness, and everything except a comfortable night’s sleep. After a night or two of this, we’re ready to go home and get some rest.

Even if the host chose their guest room mattress based on comfort instead of price, there’s the question of personal preference. Some people like a very firm mattress, while others like to be cradled in cloud-like softness as they sleep. With conventional mattresses, it’s nearly impossible to please everyone. There is, however, one type of mattress that does offer both firm support and cushioning comfort: the memory foam mattress.

Memory foam is firm and supportive, but the surface layer reacts with your body heat which causes it to soften and mold itself around the contours of your body. This molding allows the memory foam mattress to fit itself to you perfectly. It supports and cradles you as you sleep, making for a much more comfortable nights sleep, while simultaneously providing firm support. By reducing the pressure points between the mattress and the body, the aches and pains of knees, shoulders, the back and other parts of the body that might bear most of your weight as you sleep on a normal mattress.

Memory foam was once the most expensive and best mattress material available. It’s still the best, but modern manufacturing techniques have reduced the price dramatically. It is now comparable or even lower in price to quality conventional mattresses. Still, though many people don’t want to spend very much on a guest room mattress that is only going to be used a few times a year when we sleep over guests. For these people, there are memory foam mattress toppers.

Instead of the twelve to fourteen inches of foam in a memory foam mattress. A memory foam mattress topper adds a layer of two to four inches of memory foam to the top of your existing mattress. If you have a firm conventional mattress and a good memory foam mattress topper, you can get most of the benefits of a memory foam mattress for a much more affordable price.

The reason we have guest rooms in our houses in the first place is to help make our guests more comfortable when they come to visit. That hospitality shouldn’t end at sundown. With a memory foam mattress or mattress topper in our guest room, it won’t.
