[quote=Anonymous]So, we just moved to a new house.  I had decided to turn one of the spare bedrooms into a playroom and one into an office for DH.  Knowing that our family lives out of town and would like to visit, I thought getting a sofa bed in the playroom would be perfect.  It would still allow the kids plenty of space to play, would give them an area to veg and read a book, etc.  But, it would give our out of town family a place to sleep for the one or two weekends a year them come.  The room has an attached full bath so it would also give the guests a nice private bathroom when they were in town.  The kids would just have to stay out of the playroom at times during these visits.

Anyway, I thought this was a great plan until last night when DH tells me he was chatting with his mother about this idea and she said due to her husbands back they would likely stay in a hotel if we had a sofa bed.  Now DH thinks we should get a bed to accommodate our aging parents need for a comfortable place to sleep.

I feel like we might have overnight guests 2 nights a month on average.. and that is being generous. If it is that uncomfortable for two nights, perhaps we could just let them sleep in our bed that weekend and we take the sofa bed.  Or, if they really would prefer it, they can get a hotel... we don't have to feel guilty because we did offer a space for them. I would rather use the space every day all year as a dedicated playroom for the kids than make it virtually unusable (aside from storage) for the majority of the year.

Thoughts?  If your family is out of town, do you make sure you have guest accommodations that are sufficiently comfortable? Is it rude of us to forgo purchasing an actual bed for our guests but offer a sofa bed?  [/quote]
