Change "bed type"?

[Andrew43]

Hi. I recently added a third listing to my account but accidentally put the bed type as "real bed". I can't seem to change this now, it's not in Basics nor can I find it anywhere else. How does one change the "bed type" field that is visible under "the space" in your listing? Thanks.

@Andrew43 go to Manage Listing and on the menu to the left click on Basics.  You will find a place to edit Bed Basics there.

When I look under Basics I see the following categories: House Manual, Listing, Rooms and Beds, and Bed Details. There is absolutely no "Bed Basics". I have checked my other listings and it remains the same problem, there's still no "Bed Basics". It simply does not exist for me.

@Andrew43 What kind of device are you using? I'm on a laptop using Google Chrome and it works fine for me.  If you are using an app, Airbnb has suggested to other users to uninstall and reinstall.  If that doesn't solve the problem, I would suggest contacting Airbnb and have them walk you through the appropriate fix.

I'm having same challenge.  Just upgraded from airbed to mattress in or space but cannot change bed type.  I can edit beds but it still shows up under basics as Bed Type: Air Mattress.  Were you able to figure this out yet?

Same issue here. I'm on a laptop with Chrome and have changed my bed type to mattresses, but when I preview the listing, it still say airbed: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/13748016

Me too. Changed from sofa to real bed but doesn't reflect on the listing. Did anyone find a solution to this?

Unsure if it was just luck or if I've found the solution but after fighting the same problem, this worked for me.

 Reference the NOTE section of https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1224/how-do-i-add-the-type-of-bed-to-my-listing :

To add bed types to your listing:

1. Go to Manage Listings on airbnb.com
2. Click Manage Listing and Calendar for the listing you want to edit
3. Clicking Basics on the left hand side menu
4. Navigate to the Rooms and Beds section

From there, you can add the number of rooms for your listing and select the number/type of bed for each room.

Note: This feature is only available if your listing can accommodate more than 3 guests.

YesNo

So under The Space, I changed the number of beds from 2 to 5 and hit save.

Then under Description, I was finally allowed to edit from air mattress to Double bed. I again hit save then readjusted number of beds back to 2 and again saved.

This talk of "Basic" may by now be outdated. It wasn't an option for me. 09/05/2017.

Good luck.
