[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a wall/Murphy bed for the guestroom. You can use pretty much any mattress you want on them. They are not cheap, and ours was a full day job to put together for my very handy husband (and heavy to lift for me and him). I'd get one from a place that installs them too, if you're not handy and fit. We love having the floor space back when guests are not in town (aka 95% of the year).[/quote]

Yes, this is a great solution. Our friend did it at his house and loves the extra space.

We have a day bed with a pop-up trundle which is good unless you are like me and use the bed for storage [/quote]

Two things we do:
1) Guest room: we did the firm Ikea mattress, with a foam topper from Amazon, and an inexpensive headboard from Wayfair. The room looks great. When I am sick, I love sleeping in the guest room so I don't get anyone else sick, but I really love the bed and the room.

2) In a second room that doubles for an office, I did the Ikea firm twin mattress with Amazon topper as well for a daybed. I got the pop up trundle, and did the same mattress and topper situation there.

We liked the Ikea firm with the topper so much that when we needed to replace our king mattress in main bedroom, I did the same thing with another Amazon topper. Good, relatively inexpensive solution.[/quote]

can you link to the amazon toppers you bought? thanks! we, too, have a daybed with trundle, and the mattress on the trundle (8”) just fits under the daybed, I didn’t think we could add a topper and get it to push back under the daybed. [/quote]
