BEDS AND BEDDING
A good bed is essential. It is really misguided to put in secondhand, lumpy things. People notice and resent it.
Also, bedding is critical. We have pristine white bedlinen and fluffy white towels which we take great care in laundering.
Zip and link beds are particularly useful, especially in cottages with sprial staircases. You have versatility then which will increase the appeal to guests.
I have spent a long time searching for good products and now have sourced trade suppliers for bedlinen, towels and beds. If anyone is interested, please e-mail me for details of prices etc.

"I put together two single beds when a double is needed which works OK."
No, two single beds put together aren't OK at all! There is a definite line down the middle, which can be felt, particularly during those moments of closeness (if you get my drift!) that seem to occur more often on holiday.
If we book a double room, then we expect a double bed. There is something about the design of zip and link bed which means that you don't get the unpleasant lump in the middle, so they are an acceptable alternative.

All our beds were newly bought in Ikea when we started in July 2003. They are generous singles. When we put them together as doubles we cable tie the legs together (unseen) and put an Ikea mattress pad on top. You really can't tell that they are two singles.
One lot of guests found the beds so comfortable that they wanted to know where to buy them
Towels and sheets are all John Lewis - very nice quality that wash brilliantly.

Zip together twin beds..I've seen the thingy advertised in the inserts that fall out The Sunday Papers - or a matteress mat thingy would be good as per the suggestion to tie the legs together ....but none of the companies will deliver to France....so I'm stuck....anyone Know where I could purchase such things in France...please don't say Ikea in Paris...I couldn't face it!
Well I have to confess I have never been in an IKEA and never want to go in one...queue to collect! All I've ever seen is folk coming back stressed and tired from their forage!
Last resorts I'll use a girlfriends postal address in UK and it's an excuse to catch up with the girls I suppose...but as usual it's time!...so if anyone can help where to find in France I would appreciate it.

Hi all, new to the forum and run a country house in Marche, Italy.
We have solved a problem of linking singles with cable ties - they work really well. When we need them back as singles, we just cut the ties.
