Changing Bedclothes for Guests during the 9 Days

If I host sleep-over guests during the first nine days of Av, when it is forbidden to change bedclothes? May I make their beds with clean sheets?

It is permissible to spread laundered bedclothes for guests during the first nine days of Av, for hygienic reasons, as is done in hospitals and hotels.
