Keep your guests comfortable (and your Airbnb rating high) by following these suggestions to help your Airbnb guests sleep better without breaking the bank.
Sleep is an essential part of a guest’s stay! It directly influences their satisfaction with an Airbnb rental. When a person or family goes on vacation, they expect to relax, rest, and rejuvenate. Their experience in your rental significantly influences those goals.
To make sure your guests’ comfort levels are high (and your Airbnb review is too) try the following suggestions to create the most relaxing and comfortable bedroom ever – without breaking the bank.
A guest’s sleeping experience is a matter of several different factors: the mattress, pillows, bedding, and atmosphere:
Typically, bedding includes sheets, duvet, coverlet, or some other manner of blanket. The appearance of your Airbnb’s bedding is a guest’s first introduction to the place that they’ll be resting in during their stay. It’s important to supply your guests with clean and comfortable bedding. Consider choosing bedding sets that:
Ghost Sheets, the sheet set from Ghost Bed, is a linen set that is built to last. These TENCEL® sheets are a laundry service favorite because they are easy to stain treat, wrinkle-resistant, and stand the tough conditions of commercial laundry cycles.
Many first-time hosts spend countless hours decorating the inside and outside of their home. But they fail to think about the quality of the mattresses they will be providing. Well-rested guests are happy guests.
High-end hotels conduct a ton of research every year in an attempt to determine the best mattress for their guests! However, answers vary widely from person to person. And, your Airbnb doesn’t have the budget of a high-end hotel, right?
But, the best middle ground is a medium-firm mattress–it’s best to avoid any additional toppers that give it a super soft feeling that results in the guest sinking into the bed. Spring mattresses are best for durability, but you should still replace beds every 3-5 years, depending on the number of people you host in your Airbnb.
Most mattress protectors are cheap plastic. Look at it as insurance. You don’t need it until you need it! GhostProtector is great watertight mattress insurance.
Here are our top three Airbnb mattress recommendations:
Bonus Tip: Do you need a box spring? This varies depending on who you ask! Our answer is that you should have a box spring or mattress riser, only if the bed frame is very low to the ground. Guests shouldn’t have to work to get up out of bed…
You may consider offering your guest a variety of pillows to choose from, varying in material, thickness, and size. However, when it comes to creating an inviting presentation for your bed (and you should make it look inviting!), place the thickest and firmest pillows on top–down-filled pillows can appear misshapen and give the bed an uncouth appearance.
What pillows do hotels use? We’ve listed some more hotel-style recommendations below:
Ghost Pillow‘s memory foam core provides support and comfort. Most importantly, it comes with a zipper-seal casing to easily clean between guests.
Sleep has proven time and time again to be absolutely essential for humans, and when we’re on vacation, sleep is the best way to rejuvenate. Airbnb hosts may miss out on the opportunity to earn their next great review by providing average or subpar sleeping conditions for the guests. But, keeping up with all of the Airbnb laundry and linens can be enough to, well, make you lose sleep!
