Guests<\/h2>\n<p>Since you can&#8217;t know every guest&#8217;s sleep preferences, medium-firm (5.5\u20136.5\/10) is the most versatile choice. This range accommodates:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:16px 0 16px 24px;\">\n<li>Back sleepers at average weight<\/li>\n<li>Side sleepers at heavier body weights (where medium-firm compresses to medium)<\/li>\n<li>Combination sleepers who transition between positions<\/li>\n<li>Stomach sleepers at average weight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The outlier: lightweight side sleepers (under 130 lbs) may find medium-firm slightly too firm. This is an acceptable tradeoff for a guest room versus a custom-fit option.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:1.35em;margin:40px 0 16px;\">Size Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Queen is the standard guest room choice (60&#8243; \u00d7 80&#8243;). It accommodates solo guests and visiting couples. Full (54&#8243; \u00d7 75&#8243;) works for smaller rooms or solo guests only. Twin XL (38&#8243; \u00d7 80&#8243;) is suitable for single-guest rooms and has the benefit of low cost.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;margin:40px 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saatva.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1100lrIix\/pubref:JM-guest-room-main\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.saatva.com%2F\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#1a1a1a;color:#fff;padding:14px 36px;font-family:system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:1em;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;border-radius:3px;letter-spacing:0.04em;\">Shop Saatva \u2014 Free White Glove Delivery<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:1.35em;margin:48px 0 20px;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e8e0d0;padding:16px 0;\">\n<div style=\"font-weight:700;margin-bottom:6px;\">What size mattress for a guest room?<\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#3a3a3a;\">Queen is the most versatile \u2014 accommodates both solo guests and couples.
