Hello everyone,

I was  just wondering what are the places that you guys think its best to buy furniture for a short-term rentals? is it IKEA? or just good old facebook marketplace? let me know what you think.


Also wondering which mattresses do you prefer? I know some mattresses can be expensive but I am sure someone has found a brand that its comfortable enough for a good price

Hi there! Definitely not Ikea. We actually discussed this on a thread a week or so back. You want quality furniture and not Ikea.  Some folks buy used and that works out fine. I have a particular style I go for here in the Smoky Mountains. I work with a local furniture company for the most part and I have gotten items from other cabin owners or Facebook marketplace. 

Mattresses are not a particular brand but we typically go for something between hard and soft to make the majority of the guests happy. Again mostly getting those locally. We’ve ordered one or two from Amazon even and that is a memory foam style.
