Queensland: A Queensland woman has turned dream into reality by earning a staggering AUD 985 (approximately Rs 82,000) each month. What’s her secret? She’s renting out the other side of her bed to complete strangers, and it’s all part of a unique concept known as ‘hot bedding.’ But that’s not all; she even shared her bed with her ex-partner, proving that this unconventional idea can lead to both financial gain and unexpected reunions.

What is hot bedding
Monique is not your typical landlord; she sees ‘hot bedding’ as an opportunity for mutual respect and non-committal companionship. In her words, “Hot bedding is excellent for people who are able to detach emotionally and sleep next to another person in a completely respectful and non-strings-attached manner.”

Turning adversity into opportunity
Monique’s journey into ‘hot bedding’ began in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on her international education agency and student accommodation business. In search of a way to weather the storm, she contacted her ex-partner, whom she hadn’t spoken to in a year, and proposed, “Do you want to survive COVID together?” Surprisingly, he agreed, and she rented her bed to him twice, with plans for more shared nights in the future.
A bright future for Hot Bedding?
As the cost of living continues to rise in Australia, Monique intends to increase her ‘hot bedding’ rates. Her room offers the comfort of a five-star hotel suite, making it a win-win situation for both her and her guests.
Monique’s story highlights the unique ways people are finding financial opportunities in unconventional ideas, proving that even during challenging times, creative thinking can lead to unexpected success.
