Hot bed vs cold bed

Bed typeWhat it meansCrashpads on our cardsMonthly starting prices on our cards
Cold bedA bed that is yours alone, kept for you between trips.30 offer cold beds only$240–$400 a month, median $350 (21 crashpads)
Hot bedA bed shared with other crew on a rotating basis, so it isn't kept for you between trips.8 offer hot beds (6 of them also offer cold beds)$450 a month, median $450 (1 crashpad)

Bed type and price come from each crashpad's own card. Crashpads that offer both kinds are counted under hot beds; their monthly starting price isn't split by bed type here.

How crashpad pricing works.

How much does a crash pad cost?

Of the 52 crashpads on CommuteBase that publish a monthly starting price (as listed on our cards on Nov 9, 2026), starting prices run from $240 to $950 a month, with a median of about $362. 41 of the 52 start between $300 and $450 a month. These are each crashpad's lowest advertised rate; private rooms usually cost more than a shared room or bunk. Check the current price with the host.

What is the difference between a hot bed and a cold bed?

A hot bed is shared with other crew on a rotating basis, so it isn't kept for you between trips. A cold bed is yours alone, so your things can stay on it between trips. Some crashpads offer only one kind; some offer both.

Are crashpads priced by the month or by the night?

Most crashpads that publish a price list a monthly rate (52 of the crashpads on our cards publish a monthly starting price). 12 crashpads on our cards also offer nightly stays. Check each card for how that crashpad charges.

Also see how to choose a crashpad, crew hotels, and short-term rentals.

How we count: one figure per listed crashpad, its lowest advertised monthly rate as shown on its card. Two locations of the same brand count as two crashpads. The same listing shown on two base pages counts once. Crew-only listings are left out. Prices change, so confirm with the host.
