Guest rooms 'should have a good quality bed too'

Having the perfect bed or mattress that is comfortable and stylish is not only crucial for the main bedroom in a house, it has been suggested.

It is just as important to have a relaxing guest bedroom for visitors, especially with Christmas approaching when relatives may be coming to stay, Statesville.com reported.

The bed should be the central focus of the room as this is where guests will be spending most of their time.

Nicole Sforza, senior home editor at Real Simple magazine, recommends a good quality, full-sized mattress, perhaps made by Tempur or Vi-Spring.

This can then be covered with a mattress protector or allergy resistant dust cover to help reduce the risk of mites, helping visitors to get a good night's sleep.

Here Be Dreams recommends people buy the best they can afford when it comes to mattresses, claiming that as humans spend a third of their lives in bed, it should be comfortable.
