I bought an inflatable mattress on a whim. It was just one of those things that I thought I should have “just in case”. As I’ve mentioned before, I have a small house and I have no need for a guest room, but I wanted to be able to accommodate a guest if needed. This Aerobed (pictured above) has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It inflates and deflates in no time at all, and is so comfortable that I slept like a baby all night long (yeah, I slept on it - I was curious). It folds away nicely when not in use and comes with a carrying case if I ever wanted to take it with me anywhere. I’ve had a few friends and family members who have stayed the night and had no complaints about their “sleeping quarters” (my living room). My mom even wanted to buy one for her house - even though she has two guests rooms - she just likes how comfortable it is.

I got mine at SmartBargains.com, but they are sold all over the place. I highly recommend getting one if your home doesn’t have a lot of space. It’s an instant guest room in under a minute!
