Choose STR Furniture
STR furniture is spec, not style alone: sleep count, performance fabric, cleanable surfaces, and pieces that survive 50+ guest cycles per year.
Sound familiar?
You picked pieces that look great online but wobble, stain, or fail after ten turnovers — and replacement blows the budget you thought you saved.
In short
- Spec for turnover, not showhouse.
- Performance fabric everywhere guests sit.
- Dining and beds match occupancy.
- Florida outdoor needs UV-rated sets.
- Monday action: compare your listing to three comps on bunk, outdoor, and primary suite before signing a furniture PO.
Choosing STR furniture means spec sheets and sleep math first, Pinterest second.
What to know
Sleep count before style
Beds, sofas with sleepers if allowed, and bunk capacity drive revenue — accent chairs do not.
Performance fabric on all seating
Crypton-grade or equivalent on sectionals and dining chairs — residential linen fails in months.
Solid frames and encased mattresses
Engineered wood sofas and bare mattresses are review risks. Encasements are cheap insurance.
Dining scaled to occupancy
Table extension or second table for large groups — not a four-top on a twelve-guest home.
Outdoor rated for Florida
Powder-coated aluminum, UV cushions, no glass poolside.
What to do first this week
Open three same-bedroom-count comps on Airbnb or VRBO and screenshot bunk photos, outdoor dining seats, and primary suite finish. List where your home falls short — that gap list becomes your furnish scope. Picking furniture now? Send sleep count — we spec STR-grade in one proposal.
What we see go wrong
- Residential sectionals in the living room.
- Glass tops and sharp metal corners.
- Dining for owner family size only.
- Particleboard in humid climates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is IKEA ever OK?
Secondary bedrooms and short holds sometimes — not the hero sectional guests sit on daily.
Leather?
Performance leather or vinyl can work in high-traffic zones; untreated leather shows wear fast.
What should I do first?
Pull three in-community comps with your bedroom count, note bunk, outdoor, and primary suite in the hero photos, then send your floor plan. We match package tier to that comp set before you order furniture.
