If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen the sofa saga of recent years. Our sofa has been deteriorating little by little and it was time to look for a new one. Since we often have friends and family visiting, it made sense to purchase a sofa bed and less than two weeks after making the purchase we planned to have a friend stay the night. So if you want your guests to sleep peacefully, read on!
Now I love this sofa. It’s exactly the right size, beautifully designed and even comfortable to sit on, which is unusual for sofa beds, but the mattress isn’t perfect. The biggest problem is the springs. Since we didn’t want our guest to spend the night tossing and turning, we looked at our options to create a cozier and more comfortable bed.
As a long-time fan of our king size Simba mattress, this was our first port of call and of course they had the perfect solution to our mattress problem. We quickly decided on the superking Simba ornament. This is claimed to create cushioned comfort for any mattress and I can confirm that in our case this is 100% true. The mattress topper is a luxurious layer that turns our plush sofa bed into a cozy haven.
Easily unfolds over existing mattress and is ready to use right away. The combination of 2500 alloy micro springs and foam create a firm but comfortable layer to rest on, so much so that we’ve even spent a couple of family movie nights cozying up to the daybed just for fun.
While the mattress topper does all the heavy lifting for us, I still find that there are many ways to ensure your guests have a comfortable stay and a restful night’s sleep.
Good quality bedding
Ensuring that the linens are a freshly clean, matching and good quality set is very important to ensure that your guests feel not only welcome but also
Lightning
To enjoy a restful sleep we need adequate lighting. We have a streetlight directly outside, so we made sure to have heavy duty curtains to block out light pollution. We make sure the room is very dark, but we also provide lamps for quick and accessible lighting in case someone needs it. We don’t want to stub our toes while fighting for a light switch in the middle of the night!
A little extra luxury
I was once locked out of my house for a few days and a friend kindly put me up while they gave me a spare key (a story for another day!). When I arrived, she had prepared a basket with some things I would need. They were all simple elements of the house, but they felt very kind and thoughtful. It’s something I now love to do for people and it can also help with sleep. I like to include a simple lavender spray to spritz on the sheets before bed, a moisturizer for added comfort, and a bottle of water so there’s no need to rummage through an unfamiliar kitchen in the middle of the night.
I could go on and on about how comfortable the mattress topper is, but the biggest endorsement came directly from our guest. She commented on the great night’s sleep she had while here. While I’d like to say it was all the extra touches that contributed to your uninterrupted night’s sleep, I think we all know we owe it to the Simba Hybrid Mattress Topper.
