How Much Can You Spend on a Guests Room Mattress?

It is common to have a guest bedroom mattress that is worn out. But how much should it cost? This article will help you decide how much to spend for guest room mattresses.

Uses of a Guests Room Mattress

You can reap many benefits from having a quality guest bedroom mattress. If your guests have back or joint problems, they will likely choose a soft mattress instead of the rigid, motel-style beds that can cause pain when they sleep.

Additionally, be sure to place a crib or a bed for your baby in the same space as your guests.

Things to Consider when Buying a Bed for a Guest Bedroom

Here are the key factors to consider when buying a bed for a guestroom.

Mattress Type

  • Soft and Medium Memory Foam Generally, memory foam mattresses have a soft material to conform to the body. It isn’t as firm as innerspring mattress, so you won’t get the same support you would from a regular innerspring mattress or a memory foam bed.
  • Latex, Firm, Medium, Soft– Latex mattresses are firm and flexible. They also conform to your body. Latex mattresses also do not contain harmful chemicals such pesticides or herbicides. These are unlike other materials in mattress manufacturing that could produce dangerous emissions when burned.
  • Innerspring (Firm., Medium., and Soft).– Innerspring mattress are the most used. They often have many layers of coil springs. Firm innerspring mattresses include many springs that support the mattress. Soft innersprings have many coils but are quite thin.
  • Hybrid is a hybrid between innerspring and memory-foam mattresses. These mattresses use a coagulated plasticurethane mixture between Visco elastic Memory foam layers. This type is generally more durable and supportive than a standard memory foam mattress.

Durability

You may use your guest bedroom frequently or it may stay at the same location for a very long time. It is important to think about its durability. Comfortable guest mattress must also be considered. Even though it may be soft, you have to make sure that it lasts years.

The mattress material is what determines how durable it will be. Coil mattresses last longer than memory foam and are therefore more durable. Some beds come with a guarantee, while others don’t.

Dimensions

You should ensure that the mattress in your guestroom is big enough to be comfortable for all your guests, and not too small to make it difficult for you to place it in your space. A mattress that is larger than the recommended size can cause movement problems and make your room feel cramped.

It may be worthwhile to measure your guest room before buying a mattress. Although it may be necessary to consult a professional or look online, this will help you save both time as well as money.

Pricing

It is crucial to consider the price of a mattress. It’s usually cheaper to buy a brand-name mattress for a low price than to buy one that may not be as durable or comfortable. A quality mattress for a guestroom can cost as high as $700.

Firmness

Firmness is crucial for people who have back issues or require a softer mattress. This is why you should purchase a more supportive, firm mattress than the soft ones often recommended for guests.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation refers specifically to how a mattress prevents motion transfer between two people. In other words, the mattress could isolate motion between you (the sleeper) and others on its side. The thicker the bed the more likely it is that it will isolate motion. It is unlikely that your guest room mattress will be isolated if it measures less than 10 inches.

The Bottom Line

The best mattress to use in your guestroom should feel a little more firm and rigid than the others. Before purchasing a mattress, you should consider its durability and dimensions as well as price. You might also want to inspect the dimensions of your guest bed before buying the mattress.
