There's nothing worse than a tired old mattress ruining a holiday.
Us Kiwis enjoy having a getaway, whether it's a spacious holiday home for the entire family or a simple caravan on a secluded coastline. These retreats allow folk to escape the stresses of working life and spend quality time with loved ones.
It's vital, though, if you're after absolute relaxation, that you get a great night's sleep. There's nothing worse than ruining a great holiday because a tired old mattress has given you a bad back! Quality sleep is not just a luxury; it's a necessity for a truly rejuvenating holiday experience.
Please don't wait until the last minute to source your beds or mattresses. Doing so will reduce your options, and we do not want you to settle for less due to product availability.
So if you're heading to your bach or crib this summer, make sure you consider visiting Bedpost to upgrade any old beds and mattresses – and while you're at it, here are a few pointers you might like to consider about rethinking how you use your beds:
1. Space
Because your holiday home might be a bolthole for two or a gathering place for the extended family, you must think cleverly about how you use your beds. Which size bed is right for you? Queen, King or Super King?
When it comes to beds in a holiday home, versatility is vital. Beds that can double up as couches, beds with storage options, bunk beds, or even a trundle bed can help you maximise your space and cater to different guest needs.
2. Care
While keeping a holiday home as tidy as your primary residence may be challenging, it's essential to maintain the beds and mattresses. While the mattresses in our holiday homes may be used less frequently, they must withstand heavy-duty wear and tear when the guests arrive.
If you are packing up for an extended time, resist the temptation to store anything else on your beds or mattresses. If feasible, strip the bach bed to help it air.
Finally, don't store your mattresses on their sides, no matter how much you think it will help save space while packing up—gravity will cause the springs to warp out of shape. Your comfy bed will never be the same again! This cautionary note underscores the importance of proper mattress care and storage.
3. Cashing in
With several websites devoted to renting out holiday accommodation, second homes can quickly become second incomes. Your ability to provide top-notch relaxation will determine your chance to reap the rewards from your bach. Your guests will appreciate your offering a comfortable, relaxing stay and emphasising that the beds and mattresses have been recently upgraded.
With the rise of feedback holiday websites, anything you splurge on—like incredibly comfy beds—will benefit you with five-star feedback.
