Is it a Victorian conversion?

If it's got bedsteads it may be easy to put the mattress under one of the other beds and dismantle the bedstead. If it's a divan it'll be harder to hide it somewhere. 
If the landlord has multiple properties he's probably used to moving furniture around between flats as required. If the landlord only has this flat it might be harder for him to do. No harm in asking though.

My partner and I are looking to rent a flat. We've found a great flat that's sold as a 3 bedroom, however one of the bedrooms is where a living room would traditionally be and the current lounge/dining area are in the same space. We obviously don't need 3 bedrooms for the two of us and were wondering how likely the landlord would let us use that room for something other than a bedroom? The property comes fully furnished so we'd have to ask them to take a bed out, but were thinking of it as an option as were looking to rent the flat for a few years.

This is obviously we'd need to discuss but is this something you've done in a rented property or if you're a landlord would you allow this?

Just to be clear. You rent a property, you can turn any room you want, into anything you want. the landlord has zero say in it. 

I have no idea why you even think they would.
