Where to buy zip link beds? I want 2 singles to make a king size.

I'm not sure what I'm searching for. I want 2 single beds, with single mattresses, to push together to make a super king. With storage too, either drawers or ottoman.

When I search zip link, I see two single divans which attach together but with one superking mattress over the top.

What do I need to look for? Can anyone recommend a bed/online shop?

‘Hotel contract beds’

@bookmarket Zip and link super king is the correct term and the two mattresses zip together but not along the top of the mattresses but slightly down the side of the mattress.

Photos on websites usually show a full mattress on the bed but if you click into the product it then shows the zip and link mattress on top.

The divan base can go two ways, one where it goes side to side which is not a zip and link but often shown in photos, and the other where it is literally a single bed next to a single bed each on their own divan base. The divan bases can be clipped together, sometimes at the top and bottom of the bed with a clip thing which allows them to be individual singles or like mine which is attached underneath the divan base as we won't be separating them.

For example, the 3rd bed featured shows a full mattress but click into it and very clearly a zip and link and a different photo

2 singles together don’t make a super king.

a single bed is much shorter than a super king bed. The only mattresses you can get which zip together are a super king size.

bensons for beds do them, as does John Lewis

TreacleMcDooThank you. I'll click beyond the initial photos.

Do you know if you can get them with storage?

Other option is using 2 singles with a mattress topper to cover the gap in the middle? Worked for me in a pinch when I was renting

These guys did a short super king zip and link for us. Width of super king but length of regular bed. Separates into 2 singles if needed.

We just use two single mattresses with a king size topper on a king sized bed. It's cheaper. It makes no difference having a zip or not. My do and I can choose our own mattresses too.

I wish I'd asked this when I was looking. I got overwhelmed and bought two very nice single beds which paying guests take as singles. However, when family stay, we sometimes want the bigger option and there's a gap down the middle when they're pushed together. I've just bought a piece of foam to go down the middle and hope the SKS bedding will make it work. Going this weekend to find out!

‘Hotel contract beds’

I bought from this website too. They are good, although the mattresses do say ‘hotel contract beds’ all over them which feels a bit odd in my spare room

this is the one we have (Chelsea zip & link) for our trundle bed. Guests have all been very happy with it.

What about the difference in length though between single and king/ super king ?

I came here to say this too. Though mattresses are a bit shit.

My mattress is amazing. It’s the Panache 1200 zip/link. 2 large singles - zips to make super king
