Why You Should Add a Murphy Bed To Your Airbnb

Why You Should Add a Murphy Bed To Your Airbnb

Getting ready to host your home on a vacation rental site requires a lot of attention to detail. You’ve probably spent countless hours making everything absolutely perfect. You’ve ensured the kitchen has the best coffee maker, and that the bathrooms are fully stocked, and you’ve provided detailed instructions on nearby activities. But what if your vacation home doesn’t have much space for the bed? Does that mean you’re left trying to squeeze a mattress into the living room?

Nope! The solution: use a Murphy bed.


Here are a few ways a Murphy bed can improve your guests’ overall experience at your vacation rental listing:

Murphy Beds Save Space

Have a vacation rental that’s on the small side? No worries! Murphy beds are the solution to hosting guests when your home is a studio or only has one bedroom. They also fold upwards, giving your guests extra space during the morning and evenings when they are relaxing in your rental.

You Can Host More Guests

If your vacation rental only has one bedroom, placing a Murphy bed in the living room gives you the ability to host up to two extra guests. And being able to host more guests means you can appeal to more people and consider increasing your rate (especially during the busy seasons like spring break, summer, and holidays).

Murphy Beds are Functional and Simple

Aside from your Murphy bed offering increased guest capacity and more space for guests, they’re easy to set up and completely functional. During the day the Murphy bed can serve as a bookshelf and at night guests can quickly pull out the bed. One piece of advice when shopping for your Murphy bed, make sure there’s no lift mechanism. This will make your bed significantly easier for guests to use.
