Your guest bedroom should be a place of relaxation and comfort.

Creating a welcoming guest bedroom can be tricky.  Often, the guest bedrooms in our homes get tossed by the wayside.    If you often welcome company into your home, spending some quality time with your guest bedroom may be the next step in making you the Host/Hostess with the “mostest.”

Here are a few tips to help take that neglected guest bedroom to the next level.

1. Try sleeping in your guest bedroom every once in a while.  Yes, I know.  A daunting task if there ever was one. But, this trick may prove to be super useful.  By spending a night in your guest bedroom, you may notice some quick and easy fixes to spice up the room.  Remember, it’s the little things in life, right?
2. Accessorize your bed with a variety of pillow options.  This will ensure that no matter what firmness of pillow your guests prefer, they will have an opportunity to find the perfect pillow.  Your annoying aunt and uncle who ALWAYS forget to bring their own pillow will be super appreciative.  Don’t worry Aunt May, I’m not talking to you.
3. Invest in multiple sources of light.  Try not to have only one side of the bed lit.  No one wants to hear an argument over which side of the bed your guest gets to sleep on.  A happy guest is worth a thousand lamps, right?
4. Keep the scents to a minimum.  Ever walked into a house and been overwhelmed by the smell of it?  Well, imagine trying to fall asleep in that.  Candles are always appreciated, but offer a variety.  That way, your guests can chose the smell they wish to overwhelm their nostrils with.
5. Finally, make sure your mattress is up to par.  Yes, I know, beds are expensive.  But, isn’t a happy guest priceless?  At Sleep City, we offer a wide range of mattresses, always at an affordable and competitive price.  I’d recommend a Beautyrest Harmony Lux Hybrid, for a hybrid mattress that won’t break the bank.  Just ask one of our friendly sales associates to help set you up with the perfect guest bed!
