Queen Sofa Bed Mattress Pad- Going the Extra Mile to Make Guests Feel Welcome

Queen Sofa Bed Mattress Pad- Going the Extra Mile to Make Guests Feel Welcome
Everyone wants their guests to feel welcome and pampered.  Sleeping arrangements have a lot to do with this.  Whether sleeping in a guest bed, a family member's bed, or a sofa bed, they should be comfortable.  No one wants a guest to have a poor night's sleep.  Of course, there is more to it than sleeping arrangements.  Food served, available toiletries, and entertainment all add to the experience of a guest.  The important thing is to make them feel welcome and wanted.  One way to do this is to go the extra mile.  Have what they like to drink available, serve food that they enjoy, and if a mattress pad is needed to make the queen sofa bed comfortable, purchase a queen sofa bed mattress pad to use when someone is sleeping on it.  
It may seem that the extra regular queen sheets that go on junior's bed and any old mattress pad will work.  However, ill-fitting sheets and mattress pads do not contribute to a restful night of sleep. In fact, they can severely impair it.  Sofa beds are generally thinner and a little smaller than their standard counterparts. In fact, a standard queen sized bed is 60 inches by 80 inches.  A sofa bed that is considered to be queen sized is 60 inches by 74 inches.  Since the standard queen sheets and mattress pads are actually larger, they will technically go on the sofa bed.   However, they will be loose fitting and come off easily.  In contrast, a queen sofa bed mattress pad will fit snuggly and stay in place as it is made specifically for a sofa bed.
Purchasing special sheets and a queen sofa bed mattress pad really is not enough however.  Often quality for sofa bed sheets and mattress pads in general are over looked.  They are not used very often, so no one really wants to spend the money on a higher thread count sheet set or a mattress pad at all.  However, consider that the times that these items are used are the times when a host is trying to put her best foot forward.  Preparing a wonderful meal and then offering an uncomfortable place to sleep gives a mixed signal and may hinder repeat visits.  
Going the extra mile to have comfortable place for guests to sleep is a sign of an excellent hostess.  Making guests feel special is hospitality at its finest.  So, if guests are coming soon, get the menu planned, make the grocery list, and be sure to add new queen sofa bed mattress pad and sheets if they are needed.
Sleep Well,
Rose
