Kid o bunk ... Links on ll bean, amazon, target each bunk holds 200 pounds. That's a lot of 'kid' = wonder if I'm reading that right. But just 65 inches long so not for a tall person
folds up like a suitcase
can be bunks, can be two cots side by side ... looks much better than the folding bed and cot I had
On the site to buy one they show it in different configurations, I don't like it set up as a bench there are hook type ends that could be a problem. Anyway ... interesting!

On the flip side, I am wondering if people might show up at your places with their own kid beds. Basically fold up cots in tote bags.
Anyway, I am thinking of getting one (set) and having it on hand since storage of the extra bed is a problem. (I have an inflatable bed in the closet) But would like to lie on one to see if an adult could use it since they are advertised for kids.
 
Our daughters slept on those in 2002 in Australia.
I wouldn't put an adult on one or a kid, to be frank. Or let's say they can do a lot of damage when climbed on against a wall, be prepared for drywall repair. Kids dont lie there all calm and sweet on those, they are like jungle gyms to a kid.

Given the way the ad is written? Yes, guests will say they are bringing their own bed for the kids. So no need to take the expensive room with two beds, we've brought out own!
 
They look great for camping, but I don't think they would fly in a B&B. Not in ours, anyway.
I've been looking at the ottoman that turns into a bed. Has anyone had experience with that? They look like they'd be very small and uncomfortable, but I love the ottoman storage. Storing the extra bed right in the room.
If I had the funds, I'd have murphy beds all over the place.

ha! No need to find activities for the kids!

I always wanted the ones like in the cruise ships that go into the ceiling... you misbehave and we will put you into the ceiling and lock the bed in. :)

Stick with limited sleeping arrangements. Seriously! We removed two beds and I'm so much happier!
Every room now has a comfortable seating area with room to stretch out. And I'm not trying to seat 20 for breakfast.
Cramming 3 guests into one smallish room is not happy making.
We still have one twin bed and it works well for parents and a young kid. Or a bunch of friends going to a wedding.
No cots or inflatables. Too much hassle.

We do have a rollaway and have permitted air mattress. I don't like it either. The room is no longer comfortable and it kills the experience. I'd prefer not to, but it seems to come up often.

Multiple ways to deal with it - embrace it and go with the the extra money. Only do it when it's quiet and the extra people won't create a lot of stress and strain. Only let groups pack 'em in. Just say no.
I started saying no when we got multiple complaints about the noise and the lack of dining space for breakfast.
It's tough convincing Gomez that he is not responsible for people who don't plan or who just want what they want and think they should have it. Because I'm the one they complain to (or at) it doesn't bother me to say no.

We got one! I bet my aunt will give you a deal on it. We call it, "the bed from hell" and it only get used when all the others are in use already…. We have talked about throwing it out the window, etc. We put a comforter under the mattress pad and sheets to make it look comfy and inviting when made up….

If you are still interested….. I know, I'm an awful salesperson! Okay, let me see if I can pull it off.
This is a wonderful bed since it takes up very little room in storage. It would make a wonderful ottoman, nice and cushy. It folds up, unfolds, and challenge your mind at the same time! It inspires you to watch your fingers carefully and be aware of where you place them. It has wheels that spin in every direction so it has a mind blogging movement as you rolled it. It won't move on carpet and tells WD40 to take a hike. It adds muscles as the two of you carry it to it's new destination. But the nice thing is you love it so much you will worry about it until it is safe and sound back in storage…. And this wonder bed can be yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a couple of rooms that sleep up to 5 people (2 queens and a twin), at times someone will ask if we have a roll-a-way or just want the smaller room and the kids will sleep on the floor, sure, but if it is 5 people the price is the same, would you like the room with the bed or perfer sleeping on the floor?

Being a single mother, I sleep with my three kids, but as they are growing up and the space seems to be congested at times, I decided to buy a queen size beds online. I found affordable range of beds at aristeia.com.au and placed the order quickly.
