Hosting Overnight Guests This Summer? Here’s How to Make Them Feel Right at Home

Share

There’s something special about summer—the sunshine, the longer days, and, of course, visits from family and friends. Whether you're welcoming out-of-town relatives or entertaining old friends, your guest room should be a cozy, welcoming retreat that makes every guest feel right at home. At City Mattress, we know a thing or two about comfort, and we’re here to help you transform your guest space into the perfect summer sanctuary.

 

1. Start with a Great Mattress

The foundation of any restful guest room is a quality mattress. A good night’s sleep can make or break a visit, so don’t overlook this essential. Whether you have a full guest room or are upgrading a multi-use space, we offer a range of guest-friendly mattress options to suit every need and budget.

Consider our City Mattress Celestial Collection mattresses, designed for support and all-night comfort. If you’re working with a smaller room or a guest space that doubles as a home office, a twin or full-size mattress can still deliver five-star sleep without taking up the whole room.

 

2. Opt for Sleeper Sofas in Multi-Functional Spaces

Not every home has a dedicated guest room—and that’s okay. A sleeper sofa is a stylish and practical way to instantly add sleeping space. During the day, it’s a comfortable spot to lounge or work from home. At night, it converts into a cozy bed your guests will appreciate.

From compact loveseat sleepers to spacious queen-size options, City Mattress carries a wide range of sleeper sofas that don’t sacrifice style for functionality. Plus, with high-quality memory foam and innerspring mattress options, your guests will enjoy the kind of rest they’d expect from a luxury hotel.

3. Layer on the Comfort with Bedding Essentials

Bedding is where comfort meets personality. Choose soft, breathable sheets—think cotton or linen—to keep guests cool during warm summer nights. Add a lightweight duvet or comforter for a cozy touch that won’t overheat.

Don't forget the details: keep an extra blanket at the foot of the bed and offer a mix of firm and plush pillows so guests can pick what suits them best. Want to add an extra layer of comfort? A mattress topper can make even a pull-out sofa feel cloud-like.

 

4. Incorporate Thoughtful Accessories

A few thoughtful touches go a long way in making guests feel at home. Consider adding:

  • A bedside table with a reading lamp and charging station
  • Fresh towels and a small toiletries basket
  • A luggage rack or clear space for a suitcase
  • Some light-blocking curtains for uninterrupted sleep
  • A touch of personality, like a local guidebook, fresh flowers, or a welcome note

5. Style That Speaks Comfort

Guest spaces should be inviting but uncluttered. Neutral tones, soft textures, and warm lighting create a calming atmosphere. Our wide selection of bedroom furniture—from nightstands to dressers and accent chairs—helps you complete the look with both form and function in mind.
