7 Best Mattresses For Guest Rooms

You can never go wrong with an award winning premium memory foam mattress by Nectar Sleep. Give your guests the sleep they deserve with this great mattress, boasting five layers of comfort and pressure relief – they may never want to leave after a good night’s sleep on this mattress!

Made with high quality materials throughout, the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress feels just right in terms of its firmness, perfect just the right balance of comfort, support and pressure relief. Let’s take a peek at its premium construction:

• Top layer: this mattress cover features cooling Tencel material and is beautifully quilted, giving it a soft feel.
• The secondary layer is made from gel memory foam, which helps to ensure that your weight is evenly distributed across the mattress. This weight distribution helps keep you cool while you sleep and prevents the feeling of any lumps or bumps.
• The transitional layer is highly adaptive and responds quickly; this means that if you toss and turn throughout the night, the mattress quickly conforms to your body so your sleep won’t be disturbed. This layer provides a great deal of support, helping to relieve pressure from your common pressure points like your shoulders, hips and knees.
• The base layer is durable and adds further support to the mattress, helping its longevity.
• The bottom mattress cover is sturdy and prevents the mattress from sliding around on the base it is placed.

This memory foam mattress is the perfect type of mattress for your guest rooms as it offers breathability and helps keep your guests cool while they sleep. Best of all, it minimises motion transfer so if your guests frequently change sleeping positions during the night, they won’t wake their partner. If your guests suffer with any back pain, they will find that this mattress will help alleviate pain; in fact, Nectar conducted a randomised survey in 2020 and found that 9/10 sleepers found that sleeping on this mattress helped to reduce their back pain.

From a price point of view, this high quality memory foam mattress is on the pricier side, however, Nectar frequently has sales which significantly reduce the overall cost. They typically also throw in cooling pillows, a sheet set and mattress protector, so there is a lot of value included for the money you do spend. If you are on the fence about whether this mattress is a suitable option for your guest bedroom, you are entitled to a 365 night sleep trial – that’s right, an entire year to test this mattress! If you decide after all that this mattress is not for your guests, then you can return it free of charge and completely quibble free. Although, we have never found anyone to not love a Nectar mattress! The lifetime warranty also speaks massive volumes about the quality and durability of it.

Ideal for use on a range of bed frames, this mattress will be delivered as a bed in a box so you can easily transport it into your guest bedroom. Once unboxed, unroll the mattress onto the base and allow it decompress for 24 hours.

If you are buying a mattress for your guest bedroom, you should consider this hybrid mattress from Dream Cloud Sleep which gives your guests the best of both worlds with a combination of both an innerspring and memory foam mattress. With a luxury, medium firm feel, this mattress is ideal for your guest bedroom as it supports a range of sleepers – including side sleepers, back sleepers and stomach sleepers. Perfecting your guest room can end up being quite costly, so unlike other mattress companies, Dream Cloud has a great financing option with APR rates as low as 0% (do note though, you will have to pre-qualify and not all applicants will be accepted; they will run a search on your credit report to access your credit score).

With an impressive six layer construction, your guest sleepers will have a memorable night’s sleep:

• The mattress cover features a Cashex cashmere blend with Mongolian cashmere for an irresistible feel that is ultra comfortable while also wicking moisture away from your body to help you sleep cool. The top layer enclosed within the mattress cover is the Trueloft Eurotop made of high loft memory foam; it feels as though you are laying on top of a cloud!
• High density, gel memory foam fills the third layer of this mattress and helps to evenly distribute your weight to help aid in pressure relief. The fourth layer also features foam that acts as a supportive, transitional layer which helps to prevent motion transfer – perfect for combination sleepers who can disturb their partners while switching positions throughout the night.
• As mentioned, a hybrid mattress includes innersprings for edge to edge support, which memory foam mattresses typically cannot offer, so this hybrid feature makes them best. Innerspring layers, like the fifth layer of Dream Cloud’s premium mattress, feature individual pocketed coils and a double row of them around the perimeter which further adds to its edge to edge support.
• The final, sixth layer of this mattress features an adaptive foam base which absorbs any vibrations created from the pocketed coils and adds durability to your overall mattress.

Your guests will really enjoy the combination of comfort and bounce this mattress offers; additionally, the cooling and pressure relieving features of this hybrid mattress ensure that guests with all body types and sleep preferences will find comfort and relaxation. Complete with a 365 night sleep trial, there is plenty of time to decide whether this mattress is the perfect mattress for a guest room.

Buying a mattress for a guest bedroom can end up being quite pricey, so why not save a little if you can without compromising your guest’s comfort?

With an option for firm or medium firm, Brooklyn Bedding has a memory foam mattress that is sure to be a perfect match for a range of sleepers. The construction of both mattresses are quite similar, let’s take a look at them below:

• The top layer of each features a premium smooth top weave which is soft and comfortable but also has cooling benefits, helping your guests to sleep at optimum temperatures for the best sleep they can have.
• The second layer of both types of mattresses includes copper-graphite infused memory foam. The only difference between the two is that the firm mattress has  1.5 inch layer of this foam whereas the medium firm mattress has a 3 inch layer. The copper-graphite infusion helps to wick moisture away from your body and circulate air throughout the mattress, keeping your guests cool as they sleep.
