Extra beds for hotels, apartments and other accommodations
Extra beds, also referred to as folding beds, auxiliary beds or additional beds for guest rooms, allow you to increase sleeping capacity flexibly without occupying permanent space.
They are particularly practical for hotels, holiday apartments, guesthouses, hostels, rural houses, student residences and other accommodation providers that need to adapt a double room temporarily to accommodate a third guest.
At Todo Para Tu Hotel you will find professional extra beds designed to withstand frequent use, facilitate assembly and storage, and provide guests with an adequate night’s rest. Their folding frames make it possible to remove them when not required and make better use of available space.
More occupancy without modifying the room
An extra bed enables a temporary transformation of a room without construction or permanent furniture installation. The property can offer an additional bed only when the reservation requires it and free the space again after the stay.
This flexibility is especially useful for:
- Families with children.
- Bookings for three people.
- Sports or school groups.
- Short-term stays.
- Double rooms with variable occupancy.
- Holiday apartments.
- Guesthouses and hostels.
- Student residences.
- Rural properties.
- Shelters and community centres.
For the hotel, offering auxiliary beds improves room capacity utilisation and allows responding to varied reservation types without keeping an extra bed permanently installed.
Which extra bed should you choose for a hotel?
Before selecting an extra bed, assess the available space, expected frequency of use, folding mechanism, mattress comfort, frame strength and ease of handling by staff.

Folding beds to optimise space
Folding extra beds significantly reduce storage space when not in use. Depending on the model, they can be stored upright in linen rooms, service closets or areas dedicated to auxiliary equipment.
A good folding system should allow:
- Opening and closing the bed easily.
- Keeping the frame stable during use.
- Preventing accidental closures.
- Transporting it without excessive effort.
- Storing the mattress together with the frame.
- Minimising occupied storage space.
- Preparing it quickly before the guest’s arrival.
Before ordering multiple units, we recommend checking elevator, door and corridor dimensions as well as storage areas through which the bed will need to move.
Guest comfort and mattress quality
An extra bed should not be viewed solely as a way to increase occupancy. It must also provide an adequate sleeping experience, especially if it will be used for several nights.
The mattress should offer a proper balance of comfort, firmness, easy cleaning and resistance to professional use. It is also important to verify that it can be replaced when needed and that its size is compatible with the frame.

Extra beds for hotels and other facilities
Although closely associated with the hotel sector, auxiliary beds are used across many types of accommodation and institutional facilities:
- City hotels.
- Resorts.
- Serviced apartment hotels.
- Holiday apartments.
- Guesthouses.
- Hostels.
- Rural properties.
- Student residences.
- Elderly care homes.
- Educational centres.
- Sports facilities.
- Summer camp houses.
- Shelters and reception centres.
- Hospitals and clinics, depending on each facility’s needs.
Selection should be adapted to the user profile, frequency of use and each operation’s internal procedures.
Where to store extra beds?
Storage planning is crucial for projects requiring several units. Although a folding bed occupies less space than a conventional bed, it is necessary to plan where it will be stored and how it will be moved.
Typical locations include:
- Linen rooms.
- Housekeeping storerooms.
- Service rooms.
- Areas near staff lifts.
- Central warehouses.
- Auxiliary spaces designated for folding furniture.
Check door and lift widths, folded bed height and the manoeuvring space required for safe handling.
Ease of handling for housekeeping
Wheels and frame weight directly affect staff workload. A difficult-to-move bed can slow room preparation and increase physical strain on housekeeping staff.
Transport should be safe between storage and the room, without damaging walls, doors, lifts or furniture. It is also advisable to establish internal procedures for assembly, cleaning and withdrawal.
Our housekeeping trolleys help organise room preparation tasks by carrying bedding, towels, amenities and replenishment items.
Preparation and cleaning of an extra bed
Before installing an extra bed in a room, inspect its general condition, frame stability and cleanliness of the mattress and all contact points.
- Inspect the frame before each use.
- Check the folding and locking system.
- Verify wheels, legs and joints.
- Clean the frame with appropriate products.
- Protect the mattress with a suitable cover.
- Use clean bedding of the correct size.
- Ensure there are no loose parts.
- Withdraw any unstable or damaged unit from service.
- Store the bed completely dry.
- Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
Common mistakes when choosing extra beds
- Buying without measuring the room.
- Not checking the folded dimensions.
- Failing to measure lifts, doors and corridors.
- Choosing only based on price.
- Overlooking mattress quality.
- Not checking load capacity.
- Selecting a frame too heavy for staff to handle.
- Not planning storage location.
- Not verifying availability of replacement mattresses or spare parts.
- Failing to distinguish between occasional and intensive use.
- Not inspecting the locking mechanism.
- Not using appropriate protective covers.
