To put guests in the attic instead of swapping the rooms around?

We have 3 bedrooms but the room that used to be the guest room is now an office (crammed with electronic stuff, DH needs access to it for his work project).

DS (10 months) has his own room, with ensuite and double bed. I sleep in with him as he wakes frequently and I'm trying to sleep-train. There's no space in our room for his cot and he hates the travel cot.

We have an attic conversation under the eaves m that's more a storage room. Lots of boxes of stuff and suitcases and I dry washing up there. If I move some boxes I can make space for a double camping mat.

We have guests a lot. When PILs stay I don't mind giving up our bedroom, but I'm fed up of doing this for other guests.

It was blown up as much as it could be (I like my bed as firm as possible). The sides were very rounded though and obviously the surface is ribbed. Every time my 5 year old (who weighs not very much at all) moved I got woken up. Never again. I'd rather sleep on the floor.

I slept on a double airbed (on my own) at a friend's of mine. i can honestly say I slept better than my really really expensive mattress at home. It was really comfortable

I've shared ours with both giant 3 yr old and average 6 yr old before. I usually go for firm mattresses too. Either posh mattresses are bouncier or I'm harder to wake i guess!
