We’ve all dealt with that one corner of the house that becomes a "clutter magnet"—the pile of shoes by the door, the mountain of toys in the living room, or the pantry shelves that look like a puzzle gone wrong.

My favorites for curling up on the couch, lounging around at home, or getting ready in the morning.

Hosting season starts with the guest room, and it is always the room that gets forgotten until someone is already on their way. This is the shortcut: everything you need to turn a spare room, a home office, or a pull-out couch into a bed people actually sleep well in. I organized it the way you would set the room up. Guest bed solutions come first, including the raised queen air mattress with a built-in pump for the relatives who stay two nights and the memory foam mattress in a box if you are finally furnishing the room properly. Then the sheets and duvet covers, because nothing makes a spare room feel finished faster than a crisp hotel-style set. Then the comfort upgrades that quietly fix an old or lumpy mattress, like cooling toppers and waterproof protectors. And finally the cozy layers, the heated throw, the comforter set, and the extra pillows that make the room feel like somewhere you would want to stay. Prices run from about $6 up to $273, so you can do a $60 refresh or a full guest room build, and most picks are highly rated with tens of thousands of reviews. It doubles as a gift guide too, since a heated blanket, a satin pillowcase set, or a good sheet set is the kind of practical present new homeowners, college kids, and in-laws actually use. If you are searching for guest room essentials, the best Amazon sheet sets, a mattress topper for back pain, an air mattress for guests, or cozy bedding for the holidays, start here and save it before Thanksgiving, because the air mattresses and toppers are the first things to go out of stock once everyone starts booking travel.
