Folding bed
Up till now, few people can claim that they actually had a good night’s sleep on a folding bed. Known for being saggy, creaky and downright uncomfortable, a folding bed has for too long been almost as bad as simply sleeping on the bare floor. While some recent changes in the support system for folding beds have rendered them almost usable, some people still have serious questions about buying a folding bed. For those of you who still are unable to accept the idea that a folding bed is something you want your guests to sleep on, consider the following choices.
A self-inflating camping mattress can provide a good night’s sleep and not take up a huge amount of space when not in use. Although most people think of a camping mattress as something thin that does little to make a person feel comfortable all night long, modern camping mattresses have evolved into models that offer a luxurious 3.5 inches of self-inflating goodness. Put that down on most floors in America and you will most likely have a good night’s sleep.
However, some people simply do not care for sleeping on the floor. Some may have health issues, such as bad hips or bad knees. Others may have allergies that will be magnified by being closer to the floor and any dust or animal hair present in the house. Others simply do not care to sleep on the floor as they have some aversion to the concept or image of it, and no matter how thick the mattress they will be uncomfortable.
If the guests you will likely have staying with you are in this camp, then for them, a folding bed may be the only solution. If that’s the case, make sure the folding bed has wooden slats instead of a spring and mesh or canvas strap system. A folding bed with a decent mattress, the right bedding and a good way to keep it stored when not in use could be your best solution for a guest bed if you are unwilling to go the camper mattress route.
