Can I sleep on your guest bed?

Right now we would need a moment to move the Christmas gifts, wrapping paper, etc. to the floor or closet. Any other month it is ready to go. There is also a convertible couch in my office/den that is pretty comfortable, and no furniture or junk in the way for pulling it out.

My guest room is currently occupied with a long term occupant. Next people up sleep in the kids beds after we change the sheets. Eventually, I’d love to have room for 10+ guests easily since we’d use it multiple times per year.

Well, since we just sold our guest room daybed, no.

Our extra bedroom has a nice queen bed that Huck the Great Dane has claimed as his bed. I don’t have sheets or pillows on it but I do have a large blanket draped over it to protect the mattress from hair and slobber. The only guests we have are our grandkids, so when they’re spending the night I have to make up the bed. But Huckleberry is a creature of habit and will not stand for being kicked out of his room so he sleeps with them. Luckily the kids are still short so he has room at the foot of the bed.

I’d have to change the sheets due to pet hair, but otherwise sure.

Right now you’d be sharing the room with a semi-feral cat we’re trying to socialize. As long as you’re ok with some hissing, scrambling and potentially having a cat pee on the floor because you startled her, you’re good to go. She’s really very sweet as long as you don’t pick her up, touch her, or look at her funny.

Oh and there’s nowhere to put your stuff because every horizontal surface is covered in Kid Cheesesteak’s junk. There’s a sofa bed and a TV, and we’re a short ride to a NYC train.

One room is free, clean, and clear, as long as you don’t mind sleeping in my daughter’s bedroom (the two consolidated their bedrooms a couple years ago, so one opened up.) My wife’s office in the basement has a bed, but needs to be tidied up. The basement also has a sofa bed in the main room. And our living room has a futon. So we have two proper rooms with a bed (meaning, there’s a door you can close off for privacy) and two pieces of furniture that can be made into a bed in open areas of the house. Come on by!

Excellent work everyone! A lot of Dopers are ready for guests.

@enipla I’m having a hard time picturing a bed in an entry way. I guess I’m not familiar with bedroom-sized entry ways! Or entry ways that are constantly too cold or too hot.

I considered putting a poll option for “Yes but you’ll have to share it with an animal” but I didn’t think it would be that popular of a choice. I was wrong :slight_smile:

Same here. Technically, ours is a queen-size futon and needs its rear legs put on if anyone wants to use it as a queen-size bed.

Yeah. Entryway is kind of bad name for it. We have another door to the house that we usually use. This room is 10’x11’ feet so plenty of room. Outside door and another door to the house. It used to be called the ‘cold room’ because it had no heat (I’d keep beer in there). But we redid the entire thing. Litterly from the foundation up, and put in in-floor heat.

My Wife used it as an office for a while, and now I use it to practice guitar. It’s kind of an all purpose room (I try not to pile tools in there), that is also a way to get into the house. When we have guests visit, they can pile all their ski gear in there too.

Same here, half an hour to move the laundry off the bed , then make it.

We have two (or possible three) guestrooms all ready to go. They get used when one or more of the kids comes home (all are in their 20s or 30s). At some times, they are all full, but more commonly only one. Non family guests are rare, but maybe once a year or so, pre-pandemic.

The day someone leaves my wife changes the sheets and we’re good to go whenever they’re needed again.

I’d need to change the sheets; and, if you’re not into cat hair, the throws over the beds. And the bed in one possible bedroom has some empty boxes on it, which could be moved without adding significant time to the sheet-changing.

If you need to use space in a closet, and/or dresser drawer space, as well as the bed: that would take longer. Depending on how much space, possibly considerably longer.

Sorry guys no guest room available at the moment, but we can sleep two adults very comfortably on the two couches in the lounge.

I have a guest bedroom with two twin beds – it would take more than a “moment” to clear them off.
The rest of my house would take a while to be guest ready…

My friends and I refer to such a guest bedroom as “The Rob and Laura Petrie Suite.” :smiley:

My oldest son said he’s going to stay at university this Christmas, so does his bed count as a guest bed? If so, then, it’s unusable because it’s covered with crap as his room is being used as temporary storage for holiday decorations and wrapping paper. If not, then we don’t have a guest bed (which is how I voted)

I’d just have to hang up the clothes that are on it. I pretty much use the second bedroom as a closet, since I have very little real closet space in my house.

If you are in my home, you are sharing with my pets. I don’t mind if you pitch them out and close the bedroom door, but this is their home and you are a visitor.

You could come and sleep in our guest room right now, but while the sheets are clean, they’ve been there for a couple of months so I’d like to freshen them up even though I know they are just fine.

My in-laws have a room like that.

In our house the guest bed and room are ready for sleep each day - this is because that’s where I sleep now (spouse has snoring/apnea/CPAP). Should we have guests stay over I’d have to vacate and return to the master bedroom for the duration of their stay (then collapse and catch-up on lost sleep).
