Aside from offering flexible accommodation in hotels they are also useful in private houses and accommodation where stairwell access to the bedrooms is limited. Being in two parts allows a super king zip and link bed to be carried up even the narrowest flights of stairs.

The bases are available as both sprung bed bases or platform top bases and a wealth of storage options are available with them too.

Considerations with Zip and Link Beds

There are a few considerations to make when purchasing a zip and link bed. Firstly it is important that the bed is accompanied by two single headboards that look as one when zipped together. This will ensure the beds look like singles when separated and appear as one luxurious double when joined.

Additionally a king size zip and link bed when separated can be slightly small for the average person. If space allows it is always better to go for a super king size option if you plan on using it regularly as two single beds. 

A zip and link bed is an extremely sturdy and robust piece of furniture unlikely to come apart accidentally. It is also impossible to feel the zips that join the two mattresses so they offer the highest possible comfort. If you run a guest house or are worried about how to get a large double bed through to your bedroom then a zip and link bed may be the ideal solution.

A Zip and Link Bed increases the flexibility of the sleeping arrangements, offering the benefits to easily split apart the king size or super king size divan bed into two single beds. With Zip and link beds, each divan is linked at the head and foot by linking bars, and mattresses are zipped together. They are suitable for Guest Houses, B & B, Hotels and Home accommodation.
