What are zip and link beds, and how do they attach?
Popular in both households and hospitality establishments, zip and link beds consist of two separate bed frames that lock together to form one larger bed, usually a king or super king-sized bed. The individual divan beds are fixed together using assemble linking bars installed at the base of each.
Zip and link beds require zip and link mattresses – each bed has a single mattress featuring a linking zip at its inner edge, which is used to fasten the two together. But don’t worry, this seam is barely noticeable so you’ll still enjoy a restful night’s sleep!
The 4 benefits of zip and link beds
Zip and link beds provide plenty of incredible advantages that standard divan beds simply don’t offer:
- Flexibility and versatility
Zip and link beds offer a flexible sleeping solution that enables you to transform your guest room layout and accommodate your guests – whatever their needs.
You can effortlessly split the two separate twin beds to provide a twin room for individual sleepers or keep them together for a double room offering.
- Individualised comfort
Within a couple, individuals may not share the same idea of comfort, which prevents both from enjoying a good night’s sleep. However, two separate mattresses can be chosen to suit individual comfort preferences meaning no one has to compromise!
For example, one person may select a zip and link mattress firmness that’s on the softer side, whereas the other may choose a firmer type offering outstanding support.
- Built-in drawer storage options
Another extremely useful feature of zip and link divans are the spacious under-bed storage drawers built into their base. These compartments are extremely handy for storing away seasonal clothing, fresh bedding and any trinkets you wish to hide away.
- A stylish range of designs
Link bed sets built from the finest quality materials often come in an excellent array of colour fabric options. Shades such as cream and brown look exceptional in both traditional and modern spaces. Or you could desire a unique texture such as chenille, which comes in a series of on-trend colours like grey.
Separate headboards are also available to further add to the aesthetic of your bedroom or guest rooms. Criss-cross designs are a very popular choice that looks super stylish and helps draw the eye.
Is a zip and link bed the best option for me?
Zip and link beds are superb alternatives to standard frames and are ideal for a range of homes and living situations. If you and your partner have conflicting mattress firmness preferences or own a guest house or guest room and need to accommodate multiple sleeping arrangements, zip and link beds are perfect.
However, if you’re shopping on a budget or you and your partner share the same comfort preferences, you likely don’t need to invest in a zip and link bed.
