5 Best Zip & Link Beds For 2024

Zip and link beds are a common sight within hotels. They provide great flexibility for the hotel as these beds can be zipped together or separated within seconds, allowing you to change the dynamic of a room seamlessly.

This style of bed is commonly used by hotel and guest accommodation providers but has been growing in popularity over the years in the domestic market - and for good reason.

For a complete rundown on exactly what a zip and link bed is, head over to our article telling you just that.

But for now, let’s give you a quick summary of the benefits of zip and link beds.

Benefits Of Zip and Link Beds

• Individual Mattress Support - typically, zip and link beds are two single beds that can be zipped together to form one larger bed. This means that two separate mattresses are used to complete a zip and link bed which allows users who share a bed to choose different mattresses to suit their preferences. Some people prefer firmer mattresses while others enjoy a softer feel as they sleep.
• Easy To Install - The fact these beds can separate means manoeuvring them down narrow hallways and staircases is a breeze. The size and weight of these bed frames and mattresses ensure you’ll always be able to relocate these beds as and when required.
• Versatile Sleeping Solution - Being able to maximise a room’s occupancy on short notice can be the difference between a sale or that room being left empty for the night. Zip and link beds ensure you can change up the dynamic of a room quickly. For example, a twin room (two singles) can be changed to a double room (one double/king size bed) within seconds. You can also create a family room (one double, one single) by utilising half of a zip and link bed from another room.
• Abundance of Storage - Each of our zip and link beds are able to utilise the divan base underneath. Choose from a wide range of storage solutions. From simple side drawers to suitcase storage and even hidden guest beds.

Now you’ve been clued up on the benefits of zip and link beds, let’s dive right into our top 5 best zip and link beds for 2024.
