If you’re thinking of having guests over, but don’t have to room to fit a full size bed or a sofa bed, then a Folding bed or a Z bed may be an option for you. The idea of a folding bed is exactly as the name suggests. It can fold away to a small size and can be stored in a wardrobe, a cupboard, under an existing bed or anywhere where you can find space to store it.
The Folding bed uses a central pivot point to allow the bed to fold inwards and outwards, and usually a folding bed will have extendable legs to lift the bed off the ground when you fold it out. Folding beds have become a lot more popular in the past 10 years as space restrictions are effecting a lot more people than before. Due to this popular demand, folding beds can now come with sprung or foam mattresses, making your folding bed that little bit more comfortable for your guest.
One of our beds folding beds is the Limelight Mars bed. It features a 2 inch Sprung mattress, all the advantages mentioned above and for the fantastic price of £75.
Another of our guest beds is the Jay-Be Alloy Popular folding bed. It features a foam mattress rather than a sprung mattress, a stylish alloy frame, a very slim and sleek design and a sprung metal base for added comfort for your guest.
The star collection Mayfair could also be an option. The Mayfair is available in 2 different sizes, Small Single or Small Double. This folding bed also comes with a foam mattress, as well as wheels for easy storage, a beech effect headboard and a sprung metal base.
In the future, we can expect folding beds to get more luxurious with memory foam and pocket spring systems replacing the current mattress fillings, meaning that before long, a folding guest bed will be just as comfortable as a normal bed.
