Twins or a Double?

Post by lasourcetranquille »

Just about to shop for beds (the gite is getting closer to being finished!). We have two bedrooms, along with a sofa bed downstairs. We were thinking of getting a double and twins for the bedrooms. Would you recommend getting two sets of twins instead for the increased flexibility? I'm not overly keen on zip link beds but would we lose bookings without the option?

I would always go for ones you can convert. We have 5 double bedrooms, only one of which is not convertible to twins, and we have lost the odd booking through not being able to provide all singles. The place has been rented in every conceivable configuration!

Thanks Martha,

Did you buy special beds or just normal singles with a kit to tie them together?
