Asking an overnight visitor to sleep on the floor is no longer
considered rude. In fact, the best inflatable mattresses, which
can be set up and stowed away in minutes, are more comfortable
than most sofa beds. The AeroBed Deluxe Inflatable Full Mattress
($180,
www.bedbathandbeyond.com) has a built-in pump that allows you
to inflate, deflate, and adjust firmness with the touch of a
button, and the smooth cloth exterior keeps a fitted sheet taut.
Offering guests fresh toiletries is a gracious touch. Give them
shampoos, moisturizers, and soaps hoarded from your hotel stays.
The American Hotel & Lodging Association says you should not feel
guilty about taking home those souvenirs. Just don't pack the
towels.
