Problem with number of beds when there are guests?

It can sometimes be difficult to find solutions to get your friends to sleep at home, during a weekend or after a party. Despite everything, don't worry, it is always possible to find solutions so that everyone has a good night!

How to do?

For some people, guests are especially happy when they finally decide to leave. Not for me, quite the contrary. As I really like the company, I do not hesitate to suggest that they stay at the end of the evening instead. Moreover, many of them accept with pleasure, especially if they are tired and have a long way to go. But be careful, I only do it with my family members and close friends. As a result, on several occasions, I had to solve logistical problems. And so far I've been doing fine with my oversize bed and leather couch, except for last month.

A whole weekend, to attend the wedding of a cousin, I kindly offered to host my parents. But following a misunderstanding in their hotel reservation, my brother and his wife also landed with children. I was really happy to receive them at home.

However, it was a real headache in the evening, at bedtime. My brother-in-law then advised me to invest in an inflatable bed. I thought his idea was brilliant:why hadn't I thought of it? The next day, we went to Raviday Matelas, the online store where he bought his electric inflatable mattress.

With the help of his advice, I ordered mine the same day, which was delivered to me forty-eight hours later; free of charge, since I bought two, including one for my neighbour. Unfortunately, my loved ones couldn't make use of the bed, but I now know where to put them down the next time they are passing through.

Why an inflatable mattress?

To tell you the truth, I had been considering investing in another sleeping piece of furniture for some time, but I still couldn't make up my mind. In addition, a fan of couchsurfing, I regularly receive foreign tourists. Already, a second bed was to be excluded since there was only one bedroom in my apartment.

On the other hand, as I have enough space in my living room, I could install a sofa bed, or even a trundle bed. But it would have been over, the small meals and the improvised evenings between musicians because there would not have been enough space to store the musical instruments of the friends. Alternatively, I could also swap my old sofa into a convertible sofa bed, but I'm too keen on that.

Inflatable mattresses are therefore the ideal solution for me because of their practicality and their great ease of storage. After each use, once deflated, but above all folded properly, this equipment slips in and can be taken anywhere. And for a night or two, its comfort is quite honorable. What's more, the prices are affordable.

If you too are interested in an inflatable bed, bet especially on well-known brands such as Intex for example. In addition, only buy the models delivered with an electric inflator. As the name suggests, inflation is done using an electric pump. It's super fast!
