Holidays, parties, or long weekends mean friends, family, and preparing your home for overnight guests. Every host wants to know how to make a guest room cozy. And that's the fun part! Whether you're starting from scratch or just want to improve your space, here's the lowdown on making your guest room unforgettable.

An Inviting Mattress

After a day of sightseeing, conversations, and festive meals, your guests will want to sleep comfortably on a new, cozy mattress. Is yours up to par? Has your guest mattress outlived its usefulness? Is it sagging in the middle or worn out at the edges? Nobody wants to travel all day just to suffer on an uncomfortable bed, so test it out and be honest.

If it's time for a change, check out mattress sizes to see king size, queen size, and more. Take a look at mattress styles and consider creating a luxury oasis in your guest room with a memory foam mattress or a hybrid mattress.

Memory Foam to Please Everyone

Chances are you'll host many different types of sleepers over the lifetime of your guest mattress. Back sleepers, stomach sleepers, hot sleepers, and more. Memory foam is a favorite of many, and if you're looking for a highly-rated memory foam mattress, look no further than the Zinus Cooling Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress. This 12-inch memory foam mattress is infused with green tea for freshness, and features cooling gel, 7-zone support – perfect for any type of sleeper, especially if they get hot at night!

If you're looking for a good, attractive, and affordable foam mattress, check out our Original Green Tea Memory Foam mattress. We ship this and all our mattresses in a handy box, right to your door!

Planning to keep your current mattress? Give it a refresh (and give your guests a treat) with a Cooling Gel Memory Foam and Green Tea Mattress Topper. This soft addition pairs perfectly with your mattress protector, and gives your travel-weary guests a layer of soft, cool comfort they'll appreciate.

Bed Frame to Fit Everything

We all know how hard it is to find a place to store luggage and bags in a small, unfamiliar guest room. The secret to creating extra space lies in the bed frame you choose. A platform bed frame, like our Suzanne Metal Bed Frame, gives your guests plenty of under-bed storage space for their belongings. No box spring needed!

Another great option is our SmartBase® Essential Mattress Foundation, built with sturdy metal legs and bamboo slats. Assemble it in an hour or less, and you don't need a box spring either!

Add the Finishing Touch

Your guests will be comfortable when they get into bed at night. You're done, right? Not really! A guest room is more than just a place to sleep. It's a space for your guests to relax and recharge. And they can't do that standing up. Add a touch of style with pieces that invite them to relax, like the Ada Chair, which complements many room sizes and styles.
