We're putting our house on the market and need to dress up a bedroom so it looks like a bedroom, not the half-storage room half-office we've been using it as.
I don't really want to buy a double bed as we'll have nowhere to put it once we've moved. I've tried looking at furniture rental sites but they all want my inside leg measurement before they'll tell me anything.
Anyone know the ballpark cost per week say?
Just make a dummy bed out of boxes or something and chuck a duvet over it?
Or take all the storage items out of it and go full office?
I'd just completely empty the room...
As said before either get a blow up bed shaped object and dress it or make one out of boxes and pray nobody sits on it !
FWIW A dressed property will likely be more appealing than something empty (according to my mate the pro house dresser, she did ours and it def made a difference based on feedback).
Personally I wouldn't bother.
People can work out its a bedroom surely?
Or ask on your local Freecycle Group (Yahoo or Facebook) - I have seen several really nice beds go on the ones I am members of. And some minging BedsitMurderersAndProstitutes ones too....
There were some inflatable beds on that sporty discount website earlier in the week. Good quality ones too - easy to store when you've finished with it and will always come in handy.

Dressing a room is definitely worth it, a room full of boxes or empty just looks shit and the bed gives you a proper reference for size
Just leave it when you move out
Move the bed out of the other room just for the pictures, and then move it back?
Put a dolls house bed in instead, it will make the room look huge and get you ££££'s more.
Assuming you are renting unfurnished looking at an empty room is what I would expect from an unfurnished flat
Gumtree, our spare bed was a bargain from there.
It had a new ish mattress too, but the previous owner used it as their post self tanning bed, so it was covered in big orange/brown stains!
I bought one for £10 when I sold my last place from Ebay.
Don't think I even sold it afterwards, just left it in the property for the new owners 🙂

The mirror on the ceiling is usually a dead giveaway.
Salvation Army or similar furniture store?
Get yourself to an auction house that does clearances or freegle etc, you can pick up a bed for next to nothing. Just leave it when you sell, the next owners will love you for it 🙂
1) I'd much rather view empty rooms than full ones if I was house-buying. Couldn't give a toss what's in there currently, it won't be there when I buy it.
2) WhoTF buys / sells second-hand beds? 8 hours x 265 days x 10 years of sweating on it? Ick.
Its where I get my skinflakes

Only the same as moving into furnished rented accommodation, living in halls at uni or even staying in hotels.

Lots of people need to see the room presented as a bedroom. If it looks like a dining room, they will remember it as a dining room and not Mini Cougars bedroom.
The same as lots of people get put off by the decoration, whereas if I don't like it I just imagine every room painted white.
To the OP, if you've decluttered, surely you have enough boxes/junk to support a couple of airbeds and duvet/pillows...
There's a selection of mattresses on offer around the Bretch Hill area of Banbury. Some of them haven't been set alight yet. Those are the ones to go for.
inflatable mattress on 4 buckets, duvet on top. A old estate agent trick.
General view amongst agents seems to be houses sell better when viewed furnished whilst rentals move better empty
