Guest bed

What advantage does a guest bed have?

The guest bed

A guest bed is understood to be a sleeping arrangement that can be easily set up and taken down. There are different types of guest beds. Popular are air mattresses, which can be stored space-saving and are not expensive to purchase. However, these air mattresses are not really comfortable. More stable are folding beds. However, these are rather bulky and cannot be stored as well. Another alternative is so-called folding mattresses, which can also be used as stools. The folding mattresses come in various sizes, so that two people can also find space on them.

Air mattresses

Air mattresses are large air mattresses that can serve as a guest bed. An air mattress has advantages and disadvantages.

Folding beds

Folding mattress as a guest bed

A folding mattress can be easily folded and stored well. The special mattresses often consist of three parts that are connected to each other and can be folded on top of each other to store the mattress. The emergency bed should not take up much space when folded. The thickness of the mattress varies from model to model. Generally, it is quite flat. The folding mattress is often equipped with a microfiber cover that can be removed and washed. Usually, a zipper is built in for this purpose. That speaks for itself. Additionally, a cover is often included that keeps the mattress together when folded. Besides being used as a guest bed, the mattress also serves as a sleeping area on a camping trip. It not only compensates for unevenness of the ground but also protects against ground cold.
