How do folding beds work?
Folding beds consist of a metal frame and mattress, and as the name suggests, a folding bed collapses into a smaller shape, allowing a person to store the bed away when not in use. Folding beds are often referred to as 'foldaway beds' or simply a 'guest bed'. Some folding beds feature wheels for easy manoeuvre between rooms.
Are folding beds best designed as guest beds?
A folding bed is often utilised as a guest bed. From a guest's perspective, a folding bed is a comfortable alternative to a sleeping bag, whilst the host can quickly assemble and disassemble the bed when it's not in use, freeing up floor space. If the idea of a portable bed appeals to you, undoubtedly our collection us sure to feature your perfect fold up bed.
For a camping trip
Alternatively, a folding bed is a fantastic investment for avid campers; these space-saving beds won't occupy much space in a car and can easily fit in the boot. A single folding bed is easy to manoeuvre and can seamlessly fit into the compounds of a tent. Remarkably, when a folding bed is stored away, it takes up not much more room than a sleeping bag would.
Why should I purchase a folding single bed?
A foldable single bed ensures a good night's sleep whilst providing a space-saving solution. Moreover, with a guest bed, there isn't the additional expense of purchasing a mattress to accompany your steel frame.

Should I buy a sofa bed or a folding single bed?
There is no right or wrong answer, and it depends on your requirements. For example, if you're looking for a permanent guest bed that remains in its form and is likely to be utilised as a seating area, then a sofa bed or a day bed is perhaps more suitable than a folding bed. However, one of our fold out beds may be a wiser investment if you're after a sleeping solution that you can easily store away and move from room to room. Specifically, if you're searching for a bed that folds up, a sofa bed is likely to be unsuitable.
