What do your guests sleep on?

No one gets my bed, ever, and I hate taking anyone else's from them.

We have a single bed with rollaway in the spare room, but I know that's not what you asked for.

We're campers, and as such I can highly recommend a single aerobed, the pale green one. It packs away to about the size of a large cushion, inflates easily because they come with their own rechargeable pump, and if you put a picnic mat below them and a blanket on the aerobed itself you insulate your body from any cold air that may be in it.

I've just slept on one for almost a fortnight, and I can safely say it's a better sleep than most guest beds I've slept on.

Having said all that though... the camping community seem to favour SIMs these days, those over a certain age prefer SIM on top of a folding army style campbed to make it easier to get into. SIM preferred thickness is 7.5cm. SIM is short for self inflating mattress. Rolls down almost as small as an aerobed, thr COSTCO ones get a name as being decent value for money..

We've got a sofa bed and I find it very comfortable. My OH doesn't, because he is a lot larger then me and also a bit spoilt:-))
At my brother's house we sleep on aerobed. I would rather sleep on the floor or pay for the hotel then do that. If I go alone, it is very comfortable. Unfortunately when I go with my OH, given that he is heavier then me, what happens is that he moves and I roll on top of him and so on, so I spend all night trying to get up on my side again.

And my husband is not fat, he is your normal bloke (13 stone?), he is very sporty and I am your normal size 10 woman.
The bed is fairly new and does not have holes, but naturaly deflates a little over the number of hours it is on.

So if blow up matraces - better get 2 single ones, then 1 large one!!

yip, that's what we have for camping - two singles, then I put a superkingsize sheet over the pair of them and it looks like our superkingsize bed at home :-)

important to note it's an aerobed, not an ordinary airbed.

they ARE quite low to the ground though - one foot high isn't that much if it's for an older person to sleep on.

What make is the really good sofabed/more comfy than your bed bed??? Looking for sofabed, but finding them very expensive and mostly probably such thin mattresses that pointless to spend money on them and offer guests a very uncomfortable night's sleep. blow up mattress up til now, but getting older and more weary, and so are my friends. blow up good and comfy tho with a duvet on top of it to soften it.

I cannot check now, nor in the morning, but if you give me a nudge tomorrow afternoon or later in the week I can have a look and tell you. My parents (who gave it to us) bought it at an independent furniture shop, I am not sure of the maker, but its super comfortable and I have to admit I know it wasn't cheap. Its also very heavy, which is its one drawback. It rarely gets vacuumed under because I simply cannot move it.
