You want to replace it fast without spending a lot on a bed that will be slept in only occasionally. And while you're persnickety about your own mattress, you might be less choosy when buying one for a guest room as long as it's comfortable for most sleeping styles and doesn't bounce your guests awake when one of them turns over. Here are the best mattresses for guest rooms from Consumer Reports' tests. All prices are for queen-size mattresses and don’t include the box spring or foundation. Innerspring from Denver Mattress Be forewarned that if you buy this mattress your guests may never leave. Take a look at the Denver Mattress Doctor's Choice, just $500.
Many innersprings in our tests offer equal support for the side and back, but that support is often mediocre. This mattress is the exception. We judged its support for both side and back sleepers to be impressive, and it aced our durability test as well. The company has 90 locations in 30 states. Memory Foam from Costco Costco’s Novaform 14-inch Serafina Pearl Gel mattress is infused with gel beads and was impressive for both back and side support. And at $800, it’s worth considering. The mattress comes folded in a box, but if you need to return it, getting it back into the box isn’t required because Costco has a generous return policy. At Sam’s Club, Memory Foam for Less Sam’s Club’s Night Therapy 12-inch Euro Box Top Spring mattress was very good for side sleepers but only so-so for back support, but its $248 price is attractive. The mattress was also very good at muting vibrations when someone shifts in bed, and it showed little wear after eight years of simulated use.

A Sensation from Walmart Decent back support from a $360 mattress? After the price for the Spa Sensations 10-inch Memory Foam SPA-1000Q, that’s more good news. Side support was only so-so, but at this price you could do worse. Where this one disappoints is in how hard visitors might find it to change positions due to that sinking feeling common with some foam beds, including this one, which you can find at Walmart. Sleep Number Has Your Number You don’t have to pay thousands for an adjustable-air mattress to get impressive side support and even better back support. The pricier Sleep Number i8 bed, $3,000, edged out the $800 Sleep Number c2 bed in overall performance, but you’ll pay $2,200 less without a noticeable difference in support. Trying the bed before buying will tell you if the thinner foam layer of this mattress might be less comfortable for guests.
