Re: Giving guests the master bedroom

The only time I've given up my bedroom, was during a hurricane,
when all our children and grands came to us. My husband had to
leave town because of his job, so I gave up my bedroom to the
family that brought their pets. It was horrible. I'm sleeping on
the sofa, no privacy, no sleep all night and no where to go
sleep during the day,while hurricane rages on. I personally
would never offer my room again, unless it was an elderly
couple, but all our older family have passed away now.

I'd rather keep my bed and have their pets in with me. I'd even
be OK with a non-wriggly youngster sleeping in the other half.

I wouldn't stay at anyone's home where they didn't have a spare
bedroom (or at the very least a spare bed) for me. My DH
sometimes needs to use the bathroom for extended periods, and so
we also don't want to stay with anyone who doesn't also have a
spare bathroom, as we'd hate to put them out if they needed the
bathroom and it wasn't available and wouldn't be for at least 15
minutes. Last time we visited with our best friend of nearly 45
years she wanted us to stay in their spare bedroom, but with
only 1 bathroom we insisted on staying at a nearby motel, as it
just made us much more comfortable.

I've given up the master to both DDs (at different times)
mostly because there is plenty of floor space in that room for
air mattresses for the kids.

I always give up my bedroom to guests, but that’s because I
rarely use it myself. With my back and knees, I’m actually more
comfortable on my couch than in my bed.

Hi, vegetables, and welcome!
Glad to have you here, but - when you said 'I don't prefer it',
what exactly did you mean you don't prefer?

When BeagleDaddy and I were first married, the only people we
gave the master bedroom to while they were visiting was his
parents. They were both elderly and his dad had serious back
issues. The sofa bed we had usually put a bar right against the
lower back and that would have been agony for his dad.
We don't have a spare bedroom any more so no overnight guests.

A little off topic, but.....
A handy little trick I learned from a friend with that kind of
sofa bed was to turn around. Put my feet toward the sofa and my
head at the other end. It made a huge difference.

Or, if you're not too tall, lie sideways, parallel with the bar!
