Guest Beds

Whether it is at a home or a hotel, a guest bed just is not the same as your own.
I have a queen bed, a full bed with an iron frame and a twin bed with an iron frame for guest beds now.
The littlest boy will still sleep in a pack n play, I think.
The three year old will have the twin bed, the girls will share the full bed and Mom and Dad get to have the queen. This is the bed we went to find in the dark the other evening. It is the first I have had a guest bed that was that large.
I think they will be here by bed time tomorrow. I hope they enjoy their beds.

I have a hard time sleeping in other people's houses myself. I guess that is why I am trying to make everything as comfortable as possible.

@rebelann and I do not like being away from home too long.

It does sound like your guest beds will be comfy @GardenGerty but we all tend to prefer our own beds no matter how comfortable the accommodations are

We have a nice topper on ours and it feels just right.

@GardenGerty Those toppers really make any bed nice and comfy.

We would sleep as many as twenty one people in my grandmother's two bedroom house. It was fun with the cousins.

@GardenGerty 21 people? There are a lot of people, but I am sure it was very fun.

Yes, we got a very good bargain with this house. With renovations we are not completely settled in, but there are places to sleep, we will put up a folding table for the kids to eat and there are enough bathrooms. What more could we want.

@GardenGerty when we moved here I gradually fixed up one spare room. First a bed quickly, the sanding, painting, new curtains, etc. It looks really pretty. There is a second spare bedroom with a bed we already had. and months ago I painted the ceiling and that is as far as I got. It's become a junk room piled with stuff as I "organize".
I'd love to have guests more often too.

I don't care for hotels or staying at other's homes. I stayed at my son's house a few times but am more comfortable in my own. We camp but that's my other bed. I hope you have a wonderful visit with your family.

It will be busy, but it cannot really be anything else with four kids.

A guest bed usually lacks the right feel.

I remember one time years ago my ex and I stayed with some friends for a weekend. The guest bed that we slept on was horrible. It was like sleeping on a hammock.
I hope everyone likes their sleeping arrangements.

I am pleased with how it is beginning to look. Lots of stretch out room.

You are right that it is just not the same. However, it's much more comforting being in a home with friends or family. Atleast you can get up and get water or a light snack when at those places.

Yes, it is okay to raid the kitchen, except maybe not for the one year old.

The only bed I ever enjoyed (not my own) was at daughters house. She had the most comfortable bed in her guest room and I always wanted to steal it. She said if she gave it to me then I wouldn't stay over anymore LOL

My brother lives in a parsonage, but also has another house with a bedroom for when he retires. I love the bed there.

My daughter and son-in-law are coming from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They have four children. One is almost 10, one is almost seven, those two are the girls. Almost four is the oldest boy and almost two is the baby.

@GardenGerty Nice! Will they be with you until Christmas? Or will you have a special Christmas for them while they're there?

I think they will enjoy the beds and all the blessings that come with it.
