BAM! Instant Guest Room With #OoRooBeds

July 14, 2016 in Holidays, Mom Life

ooroo

I love hosting Christmas and Thanksgiving at our house. Sure, there’s some stress, and family sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out, but all in all, it’s pretty great. There’s a little problem, though: we never seem to have enough beds for all the guests. And I am so tired of asking family and friends to sleep on air mattresses – or that old futon in the basement. [hangs head in shame]

ooroo1

Well, never again. Because I just happened to discover the OoRoo folding ottoman bed — and I am done putting overnight guests on the air mattress! We live in a small house, and space is at a premium (I’m one of those moms who spends waaaaay too much time on Pinterest browsing through space-saving hacks). Before I came across the OoRoo, hosting overnight guests used to mean putting people on air mattresses, that old futon, or worse: the couch.

The OoRoo, on the other hand, packs all the comfort of a traditional mattress into a lightweight, foldable guest bed that doubles as an ottoman when not in use! (you can get the ottoman cover in any of six delightful colors – I’m a big fan of the lime canvas one myself).

I’m already brainstorming ways I can use one of these portable beds for family travel, camping, kids’ sleepovers, you get the idea. Fact is, I’m tired of feeling like you have to sacrifice style or comfort when it comes to affordable guest bedding. And like I said, I am done putting guests up on the air mattress.

OoRoo also makes a great pet bed and the portable OoRoo Beach Mat that would be perfect for camping.

Oh, heads up: all OoRoo orders are shipped FREE right to your door for FREE (within the continental US).

    How cool is this?!?! I too have a small home and there have been times when I wish we could accommodate an overnight guest, say when my daughter was first born and not sleeping, but all I had to offer was my couch. This would have been great. We are attempting to have another baby, this would be perfect for those nights when family volunteer to help. I love that it is comfortable like a bed but compact enough to pose as an Ottoman during the daytime hours. Very, very cool!
