Make Guests Comfortable This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving means more than just a big meal. It is also about family, relationships, and building a home that is inviting. When your friends or family arrive, their bedroom turns into a temporary sanctuary. It is your responsibility to make them as comfortable as possible! Choosing the right bed style can make a difference between a hospitable, restful, and pleasant stay and a brief quarantine. 

No matter if the holiday is a weekend celebration or an extended holiday, your choice of bed makes a contributing factor to whether or not everyone develops cozy & relaxing memories. At BestBed Online our selection of upholstered beds, ottoman beds, and divan beds is sure to add comfort and function to your home this Thanksgiving.

Upholstered Beds: Style and Comfort Combined

An upholstered bed frame is a nice combination of comfort and support. Featuring a padded bedhead, these beds add a touch of elegance, warmth, and softness to the guest bedroom. Fabric beds are typically available in neutral colours such as grey, beige, or cream that can fit any seasonal decor.

For a Thanksgiving twist, add autumn-inspired bedding in burnt orange, deep red, or soft gold. Layered blankets and cushions make the bed feel extra luxurious, giving your guests the ultimate comfort. Upholstered beds not only have an aesthetic appeal; there is a wonderful softness about them that adds to the cozy elements associated with the holiday season.

Ottoman Beds: Storage Solutions and Style

Storage needs become apparent during the holidays. If not properly considered, bedding, decorations, and other holiday-related items will create a cluttered home. Fortunately, an ottoman bed provides a simple solution with storage built in and located just underneath the mattress. Ultimately, an ottoman bed helps make maintaining a clean, spacious room far easier, which is helpful when you have guests.

Ottoman beds also offer the means to clean up Thanksgiving clutter by hiding the spare blankets or pillows needed for family gatherings, or even holiday decorations that you don’t want to see lying around. These beds combine comfort with storage, making them a great option for households that appreciate style and elegance alongside practicality.

Divan Beds: The Classic for Any Guest

A divan bed is an option that has been used for generations in guest rooms, or in any room in the house, for that matter. The sturdy bed frame has the option of at least one storage drawer, and the mattress offers guests support for a good night’s sleep. Divans fit different styles of décor, from modern to vintage, and are easy to add seasonal throws and cushions for any holiday season.

With the right autumn-colored bedding, a divan bed quickly feels welcoming and relaxing during Thanksgiving or any other holiday season. Guests will appreciate the support, warmth, style, and comfort of a well-made bed with the added benefit of less time and energy spent preparing for the holiday stay.

Bedding Choices for Extra Warmth

Choosing a proper bed frame is only the beginning; layering cozy bedding adds comfort for guests, such as soft flannel sheets, thick duvets, or textured throws. Using autumn colors, such as pumpkin, rust, burgundy, and cream, can create a warm seasonal feel.

Consider adding some fun elements to your guest bedroom décor, like pumpkin-shaped cushions, leaf print blankets, and warm accent pillows to create a warm and welcoming feel to the space. You should be focused on styling a well-made bed that shows love and care for holiday guests.

Bed Placement and Flow of the Room

Make sure you have your guest bedroom bed(s) set up as comfortably and usefully as possible. Beds should be placed where their flow is comfortable around the room, nightstands are accessible, and a passage way through the room. If you're short on space, try an ottoman bed or divan bed with storage drawers, while keeping the room neat and organized, not cluttered.

Proper lighting is another important factor. Soft warm lamps or fairy lights can contribute to making a calmer ambiance. You might want to consider good task lighting at the bedside for reading or relaxation. Thoughtful placement and design can create a cocoon of peace and comfort in your guest bedroom.

Enhance the Experience with Decorative Details

Small personal touches can have a major impact. Consider adding a soft area rug at the bedside, a cozy chair for reading or relaxing, or a bedside tray with a candle and a seasonal treat. Consider alternative seasonal fragrances such as cinnamon, vanilla, or a diffuser with pumpkin spice to make the room smell welcoming.

Consider maybe providing a few Thanksgiving decorations like autumn leaves, small pumpkins, or neutral décor, such that the space feels festive, but does not feel overly decorated. This is simply an enhancement to the overall feeling of warmth and caring to your guests.

Considerations for Families

Consider also how the beds function for families and their children, if applicable. Low-profile upholstered beds are safe and comfy beds. Ottomans that open for storage are very handy and can double as a comfy kid-sized chair for reading. Fun throws or themed cushions are cozy embellishments, yet also make the beds cozy and practical for little ones.

The Importance of Comfortable Beds for Guests’ Rest

Think of Thanksgiving as a time when family and guests spend increased time in your home, and a comfortable bed allows your guests to rest well after full days shared. Investing in high-quality beds is an investment in your guests' good posture, comfort, longevity beyond Thanksgiving, and a stylish addition to your space.

As you approach Thanksgiving this year, do think of comfort, warmth, and togetherness. With the bed, plus some additional thoughtful touches, your guests will feel taken care of, and you will be creating that wonderful ambiance in your home that is the heart of the holiday - thankfulness, comfort, and family fun.
