Hosting holiday guests can be a rewarding experience, but finding room for family and friends who stay overnight can be challenging. Not every house has a spare bedroom ready, so squeezing extra sleeping space to make your guests comfortable may require creativity.
With some preparation, you can easily avoid the stress of figuring out sleeping arrangements and give your guests the comfort they deserve for the holidays or whenever. These are some guest bed ideas for every budget, from cabinet beds and fold-out cots to air mattresses.
