Why Wooden Beds Are the Best Investment for Your Holiday Let

Why Wooden Beds Are the Best Investment for Your Holiday Let

Furnishing a holiday let comes with a unique set of challenges: your beds need to be tough enough to withstand constant turnover, stylish enough to impress in listing photos, and comfortable enough to keep guests coming back.

At The Wooden Bed Company, we believe that solid wooden beds are the perfect solution—and here’s why so many holiday property owners are choosing them over cheaper, short-term alternatives.

1. Built for Heavy Use—Without Compromising on Style

Holiday lets often see far more use than a typical home. Guests come and go weekly (sometimes daily), and beds take the brunt of that activity. MFC frames or lightweight metal beds simply aren’t built for it.

Our handcrafted wooden beds are made using solid, sustainably sourced solid timber—strong, reliable, and made to last for years. No squeaks, wobbles or weak joints—just proper craftsmanship designed to hold up to high levels of use, all while looking beautiful.

2. Timeless Aesthetics That Enhance Every Room

First impressions matter—and in a crowded holiday let market, you need rooms that stand out. Wooden beds add instant warmth and character to a space. Whether you're going for cosy country charm, coastal calm, or a more contemporary feel, solid wood fits seamlessly with every design style.

Our collections include natural oak finishes, painted options, and everything in between—making it easy to tie your furniture into your overall interior design.

3. Easy to Clean and Maintain Between Stays

Turnaround time in holiday lets is tight. The last thing you need is furniture that’s fussy to clean or easily damaged.

Solid wood is naturally durable and easy to maintain. A quick wipe down is all it takes to keep it looking fresh between guests. And unlike upholstered or metal frames, wooden beds don’t scuff easily and are far less prone to visible wear and tear.

4. Smart Storage Options for Space-Conscious Rooms

Maximising space is key in holiday properties, and our wooden beds come with a range of practical options—like underbed drawers or trundle-style pullouts—perfect for guest rooms or family stays.

Wooden trundle beds are especially popular for holiday lets, giving you the flexibility to sleep extra guests without permanently taking up floor space.

5. Boost Guest Satisfaction and Your Property’s Reviews

A comfortable, solid, and good-looking bed can be the difference between a glowing review and a mediocre one. Guests remember a good night’s sleep—and they’ll mention it in their feedback.

With one of our handmade beds, you’re offering your guests something more than a place to sleep—you’re giving them a premium experience that reflects the care and quality of your holiday home.

6. Sustainably Sourced & Made in the UK

More guests are now actively looking for eco-conscious accommodation. Our beds are all handcrafted here in the UK using sustainably sourced timber, helping you furnish your let in a way that supports the planet—and British craftsmanship.

Highlighting this in your property description adds value and sets your listing apart in today’s environmentally aware market.
