A storage bed that locks is an ottoman bed with a key-secured compartment under the mattress, giving Airbnb and short-let hosts a discreet way to protect their belongings while still giving guests a comfortable, stylish place to sleep.

Storage beds that lock give Airbnb hosts peace of mind.

Especially if you’re renting out your London flat or property but only for a few months or weeks at a time. Airbnb property investors don’t have the same concerns as owners who are renting out somewhere they live because you’ve got your precious possessions and special memories to safeguard.

Although most guests wouldn’t dream to go snooping around other people’s things, there’s always the risk that someone will. Or worse, someone will steal something and run when staying in your home or London flat.

So, what’s the answer?

Get a storage bed that locks. Keep your possessions safe, have peace of mind whenever guests stay, knowing that anything that’s special is kept safely under the bed (guests won’t be able to tell it’s a storage bed), and you’ve got the key.

For extra security, Furl can also deliver and build a storage bed that comes with a built-in safe, so for anything that you can’t carry with you but needs to be locked away, it’s another layer of security between your possessions and curious guests.

Why a storage bed that locks is a must-have when renting on Airbnb

Whether you’re an experienced Airbnb host or you’re just starting out, you’ve probably heard nightmare stories of guests who trash properties, have wild parties, and even steal.

It’s one of the reasons Airbnb offers insurance to hosts, and lots of insurance companies now offer Airbnb insurance policies.

The problem is, in the rare event that a guest steals something, what are the chances of getting it back? If it’s something easily replaceable, like a wine glass, then it’s a nuisance.

But what if it’s a piece of jewellery or something with enormous sentimental value that you can’t simply replace at your nearest Waitrose?

Insurance can’t replace memories. And for numerous reasons, you might keep certain items in a property you’re renting on Airbnb, especially if it’s your home, but you work away part of the time. Then it makes sense to rent on Airbnb so it’s covering costs rather than sitting empty.

The best way to safeguard your possessions is to invest in a storage bed that locks. Keep everything you need under the bed, then lock it when you go away and have guests stay.

It also doubles as a guest experience upgrade: a high-quality ottoman bed feels more premium than a standard divan, which means better reviews. The best beds for Airbnb do two jobs at once: they make guests comfortable and keep your belongings safe.

How to find the perfect Airbnb Storage Bed that locks?

There are lots of storage beds on the market. Most aren’t built with Airbnb hosts in mind, and very few come with locks. More importantly, none of them come with the amount of storage as a Furl storage beds (also known as ottoman beds, and beds with storage), and none of them or as comfortable.

When choosing the best beds for Airbnb, look for:

  • Under bed locking storage: a key-secured compartment guests can’t open, ideally with the option of a built-in safe for higher-value items.
  • Storage depth: the deeper the base, the more you can put away. Furl’s Max has 35cm of storage depth as standard, or 40cm with the Plus option.
  • A discreet look: the best beds for Airbnb don’t look like security products. Guests see a premium upholstered bed, not a lockbox.
  • Size options: your rooms won’t all be the same size, so look for a range that goes from small double to super king and beyond.
  • Lifting mechanism: side-opening suits a bed pushed against a wall; electric suits guests who appreciate effortless opening.

Investing in a Furl storage bed that locks for Airbnb ticks all of these boxes: Huge storage and the most comfortable sleep a guest could ever get!

Furl storage beds that lock come with a massive choice of fabrics and styles, a wide range of sizes, different lifting mechanisms (electronic, manual, back, or side opening options), and a lock to keep your possessions safe. We can even fit safes too, for extra peace of mind and under-bed security.

Come and see them for yourself in our London showrooms or you can even buy one ready-made if you’re in a hurry!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bed frame with locking storage?

It’s an ottoman bed where the storage compartment under the mattress can be locked with a key, so it can’t be opened by anyone without one. From the outside it looks like any other upholstered bed. Furl ottoman beds can be ordered with a lock, or with a safe fitted inside.

Is under bed locking storage secure enough for valuables?

It’s one of the most discreet forms of home security, because guests can’t tell the bed has a lockable compartment at all. It isn’t a replacement for a dedicated safe bolted to the wall, but for jewellery, documents or spare keys, a locked ottoman bed is a practical, hidden layer of protection for a short-let property. For anything more valuable, we can fit a safe inside the bed.
