Twin beds into a double?
Twin beds into a double?
Would massively appreciate some advice on a decision my partner and I are having trouble agreeing on! We need at least one room which offers twin accommodation (2 x 3ft single beds), but would like the option of converting these into a sturdy 'believable' kingsize bed when the need arises. We know of the option of zip and lock mattresses-it is the bed bases themselves which pose the problem. A divan base is the most obvious choice, and is our back-up option. However, we are a seaside guesthouse trying to create a sense of space and fresh modernity and feel that heavy bed bases (especially those with a valence!) will contradict the rest of the furnishings. I ideally would like wooden beds on legs, (possibly with a large wall mounted headboard to accommodate either twin or kingsize beds) but then we have the problem of a large gap running down the length of the mattresses. Any suggestions please as to how we can realistically offer both options without the use of divans? Many many thanks!
I looked into this a lot!
We bought divans zip and link through Beds2u.com, and they look quite fresh - see example (ok you can't see the base brilliantly) in http://sallyscottages.co.uk/node/725/photos
You can get platform beds (half divan, half legs) from Mattisons Contract Beds
The only frame or wood solution I could find was this, and I avoided due to price, but you may consider it worth it: http://www.tauruspinebeds.co.uk/zipandlink.php
Whichever you choose, I really recommend the Beds2u.com Best mattresses. They are excellent quality, and unbelievable at the price.
By the way, 2 x 3ft = Superking

You don't need ziplink.
We have platform beds on wooden legs with a 3 inch thick mattress topper. You cannot feel the rift and the weight keeps them in place.
For the moment I also have two single mattress toppers (2 inch) on the bed and then the double size topper because of storage problems, but I am thinking I might keep it like that.
My beds are quite firm, and this way people can choose how soft or firm they want the feel, and also a couple can have different firmness even if the beds are put together (gives a slight difference in height, but at least they will have the option)
You can see what it looks like on my ad: http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p2003391
FYI: My ad will expire on February 2nd, and I might wait a while before renewing it.
