When setting up our Airbnb properties, finding the right mattress has always been tricky. Guests have different preferences: some from the US love plush mattresses, while others, especially from Asia, prefer firmer ones. It's nearly impossible to satisfy everyone with a single mattress, even with high-end brands.
After testing several brands and firmness levels, we settled on the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress. It strikes a good balance between comfort and cost. The basic model is priced between $600 and $700, but you might get a $100 discount with a referral link.
One thing we really appreciate as Airbnb hosts is Nectar’s flexible policies, like the "365-night Home Trial" and "Free Shipping & Returns." This means you have a whole year to decide if it works for you. If your business doesn’t go as planned, you can return the mattresses within the first year, minimizing your losses. Of course, you’ll need to tell them you’re returning it because you’re not satisfied. 😆
We typically avoid adding accessories like bedding and covers since they’re overpriced and not necessarily better than what you can find on Amazon.
Another tip is to add support under the mattress, which can make a big difference. We once had a very picky guest with back pain. After adding a "Bunkie Board" under the mattress, the guest finally felt comfortable. A Bunkie Board is better than a Box Spring or Mattress Foundation because its slats are vertical to the bed frame with minimal gaps, making the mattress feel flatter and more stable. Plus, bunkie boards are easier to ship and install, making them ideal for Airbnb hosts.
