Help me decide on bed for holiday home

I have a two bedroom house in Spain that is let out fairly solidly from March through to October. Most of my rentals are from Scandinavian countries and Germany, Austria etc, but I also have some rentals from the rest of the UK (I tend to be here for English school holidays).

We have a mixture of couples and families holidaying with children or sometimes parents, a grandparent and one child. I don’t have children myself, so when I am here, there tends to be a spare room unless my friends come over.

Currently, we have two single beds in the ‘spare’ room which are often pushed together for couples staying and I am considering changing the two singles to a double bed. This means I could get an ottoman bed for storage as well as creating a bit more room around the sides of the bed.

My question to you all is would - you be less likely to book the room for your children if it was a double bed rather than two singles? I know my friends and family would not be bothered about sharing the double bed, but what do others think?

Keep the two singles in the second room, much more flexible, otherwise it gives the impression that it is only suitable for couples. Also some couples may welcome two singles pushed together if one partner is a restless sleeper, and they are more comfortable in hot seasons.

Get a zip and link bed instead - that will doo both jobs.

Ziplock beds?

My children would have to be quite young to share a bed.

Thanks everyone. I spoke to my sister and she agreed with what you said too. Will look into single ottomans with zip mattresses instead.
