@Joshua Janus Agreed on the suggestion to read biggerpockets books! 

I'm biased of course, but you can purchase them all here www.biggerpockets.com/store @Benjamin Sulka

 Very thankful for you OGs and for keeping the forums alive all these years!!! See ya next week @Luke Carl and @Avery Carl! We'll stop by when we're visiting our place on 30A!

Great responses everyone, thank you! 

To everyone who said "why wouldn't you just put in kind sized beds?"
Well, we purchased the properties fully furnished already with queen beds in place. If I was starting from scratch, yes for sure would buy a king bed. But, now the problem is, "Do I get rid of a perfectly *fine* queen sized bed to pay for an upgraded king-sized bed (and king-sized linens) or do I keep it as is and make other adjustments to get more bookings?" 

I am feeling especially silly about not realizing the queen sized beds could have been a factor in less bookings because, personally, when I travel with my 6'4" husband, I look for king-sized beds. 

I will make the upgrade when we visit the properties this weekend and report back how it goes! 

Special thanks to @Mark Kazmierski for the hot tip on lightly used beds. How do you find the companies selling them, Mark? 

Hey all BP STR Hosts! Has anyone upgraded their bed sizes from fulls or queens to king-sized beds and seen an increase in bookings in their market? Would love to hear any case studies, positive or negative, that correlate to this idea so I can tease out what is worth it for us.

Current state is a 3-bed, 3-bath beach house with 2 queen sized beds, a bunkbed room, and two portable pack-and-plays for babies.

Future state would be upgrading the 2 queens to kings. 

Also up for hearing if you don't think it's worth it to upgrade your mattress sizes for whatever reason. 

Thanks y'all!
