There is always a time when a couple of extra guests can arrive and you have only the single bed for them to sleep in, there is an answer which used to be the camp bed, but really nowadays these are rather ‘old hat’ which frankly for the price are not comfortable and take up lots of room when folded, better solutions can be found.

Replacing the single bed in the house is a good option as these can be substituted for guest beds which have another single mattress beneath them which can be pulled out to form a double bed, which sits at the same height as each other, the mattresses being zipped together. For a three foot mattress, this converts to a King size bed in width as good, or perhaps, even better than the host’s bed!

Naturally there are a number of mattress options, but as a rule of thumb, the more you pay the better the product. Having guests is never simple is it?
