We didn't want to buy an entire bed just for the occasional visitor. Doing this would have been expensive and required a lot of space. Instead we roll out and blow up the mattress. Guests tell us it's very comfortable. We found an inflatable mattress works best when you put a pad or rug under it and a standard bed pad over it.
Inflatable mattresses come in all standard bedding sizes.
Small and light when collapsed, the mattresses can be carried on trips. Even inflating with a foot pump only takes five to ten minutes. There are dozens of ways to heat a house. Once a year, have your heating system looked at. An inefficient system is not only wasteful but dangerous because it may produce carbon monoxide, a deadly colorless gas with no smell.
