The holidays mean friends, family, and getting your home ready for overnight guests. Every host wants to know how to make a guest room cozy. That’s the fun part! Whether you’re starting from scratch or just sprucing up your space, here’s what to put in a guest room to make it memorable.

A Swoon-worthy Mattress

After a day of sightseeing, chatting, and holiday meals, your guests will be craving a good night’s sleep on a fresh, comfortable mattress. Does yours hold up? Has your guest bed exceeded its mattress lifespan? Is it caving at the center or sagging around the edges? No one wants to travel all day just to suffer on a lumpy bed, so try it out for yourself and be honest.

If it’s time for an upgrade, check out mattress sizes for king size bed dimensions, queen size bed dimensions, and more. Take a look at mattress styles and think about creating an oasis of luxury in your guest room with a memory foam mattress or a hybrid mattress.

Crowd-pleasing memory Foam

Chances are you’ll be hosting many different types of sleepers over the life of your guest mattress. Stomach sleepers, back sleepers, hot sleepers, and more. Memory foam is a fan favorite, and if you’re looking for a bed with great memory foam mattress reviews, look no further than the Zinus Ultra Cooling Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress. This 12-inch memory foam mattress is packed with green tea for freshness, and it features cooling gel, 7-zone support, and enhanced airflow – perfect for any kind of sleeper, especially if they run hot at night.

Space-making Bed Frame

We all know the challenge of finding a place to store our suitcases and bags in a small, unfamiliar guest room. The secret to creating extra space lies in the bed frame you select. A platform bedframe, like our Yelena Metal Platform Bed, gives your guests plenty of under-bed space for odds and ends. No box spring needed!

Zinus Yelena easy to assembly metal bedframe. Minimalist bedroom with a black metal platform bed frame holding a mattress dressed in white bedding, styled with a green blanket across the foot and neutral pillows, placed on a light patterned rug beside a round side table with greenery and an alarm clock, emphasizing simple, space-saving design

Another rock-solid choice is our SmartBase® Essential Mattress Foundation, constructed with sturdy metal legs and bamboo slats. Put it together in an hour or less, no box spring needed.

Add the Wow Factor

Your guests will be comfortable when they tuck in at night. You’re done, right? Wrong! A guestroom is for more than just sleeping. It’s a place for your guests to unwind and recharge. And they can’t do that standing up. Add a pop of style with accent pieces that invite them to relax, like the Ada Sling Chair that complements a range of room sizes and styles.

Cozy sitting area with two gray Zinus Ada Sling Chairs featuring black frames and white accent pillows, arranged around two small round tables with plants, books, and a clock, styled on a light patterned rug in front of windows with blinds, creating a bright, relaxed corner for reading or conversation.

Now that you’re on a roll, want to know how to decorate a guest room? You’ve got the bed frame, mattress, topper, and accent chair – the fun is just beginning!
