Mattresses-What Specs are most preferred?

Hello Everyone,

I am looking to replace the mattress in my airbnb i have had both positive and a  not so good review from one client. One client said it's too firm i bought a mattress topper  client still said its too firm still even with the topper so i am just curious to find out personally i love an othorpedic mattress. I understand this is not the case for everyone what is the sweet spot what kind of mattress would you suggest works for everyone from your experience i am new to this so i will appreciate all the feedback i can get to make the right purchase.Thank you.:-)

Hello Jacquelyn 

Good question. If  it was only one guest , I wouldn’t worry about it. If a lot guest complain about, then you may want to consider some options. Just depends on the person/guest or your usual demographic. Some places may only have the traffic of seasoned people and some places will cater to maybe a younger crowd. Seasoned people tend to like firmer beds and younger crowds tend to like the foam mattress. We have a 4 bedroom and each room has a different level of firmness. I do have an extra foam topper that if guest want to remove it on one of the beds , I don’t mind. I hope that helps. 

Spot on @Mitzi40! Yes the complaint was from a seasoned guest. She intimated she only gets firm mattresses. From my research looks like you need a pillow top if you will have a firm mattress that way the guests can request to have it turned to the soft side yes?

Thank you for responding i really do appreciate your input i didn't know there were so many type of mattresses until i googled which is why i asked you guys for your help.

Thank you!

Thanks Elisa!! I appreciate you tagging the seasoned hosts to help with my inquiry 😊

Firm foam, 8" thick.  Not a single complaint, actually have had a few guests ask us for the brand and model.

@Alessandro2064 Amazing looks like key word is Firm! I will definetly get a firm mattress and a better pillow top. Thank you Alessandro fyi when i called a few vendors most suggested a medium firm but i wasn;t sure since this is what i had before so it got me abit confused.

 

Thank you!!!

No problem.  

 

This issue with anything less than firm is that anyone larger than petite will sink too quickly and the mattress doesn't recover quickly enough. 

 

 A heavier guest actually rolled out of bed while sleeping because of the slope on the edge not recovering.   Luckily he laughed about it.
