The best fold away beds so your guests can have a comfy night’s sleep

Best fold up double bed

Habitat Roma Single Velvet Chairbed

Specifications: 

• Bed size – Single
• Mattress type? N/A – velvet covering a foam fibre wrap filling, plus

Why we love it: 

Somewhat of a single sofa bed come chairbed, this Habitat one-seater sofa bed is versatile enough for use with guests staying over or, equally, extra bedroom/living room seating and, that pink velvet !! We love her. 

Folding double camp bed

HI-GEAR Double Folding Campbed

Specifications: 

• Bed size – Hi-Gear double bed
• Mattress type? N/A – polyester fabric stretched over a collapsible frame

Why we love it: 

Hi-Gear have quite a large range of camping beds but, this one, weighing in at just 13.7kg (about 10kg less than some of its competitors), is big enough for couples and/or friends, not to mention it’ll save you from buying a heater if you’re planning to use it while camping. Yep, being several inches above the ground will save you/your guests from feeling the cold through hard wood floors or, if outside, a groundsheet. 

Best rated foldaway beds

Argos Home Large Double Fabric Chairbed

Specifications: 

• Bed size – Large double/Queen size
• Mattress type? N/A – Zippered high-density foam filling

Why we love it: 

No need for casters here, this chairbed sits flush against your floor and, when you inevitably need to use it to house extra guests overnight, you need only open up the ties and fold out the foam sections. The bolstered backrest also doubles as an impromptu headboard, so there’s not much to dislike, really.

Roll away bed with mattress 

SHUOJIA Japanese Folding Mattress

Specifications: 

• Bed size – Double
• Mattress type? 4-inch mattress topper with a high-quality quilted microfibre top

Why we love it: 

A kids plat mat come mattress topper come floor mattress, this affordable bed alternative isn’t available on Prime next day delivery – boo! – but it is available in four colours, if that’s any consolation. For us, we’d use it as a make shift mattress for a new platform bed frame or something of the like or, equally, a day bed for sleepy toddlers to take a quick kip. So versatile! 

Roll away bed Amazon

My Layabout Adult Z Bed Memory Foam Fold out

Easily doubling up as a footstool/pouffe/small seat, this Zed bed from Amazon comes in a variety of bright colours – ideal for both maximalist interiors and kids’ bedrooms – and is only

Single camp bed

Nash Indulgence 4 Season SS4 Sleep System

Specifications: 

• Bed size – Single
• Mattress type? N/A adjustable lumbar support base

Why we love it: 

A bit of a rogue one, but a top pick for the camping fanatic nonetheless. The Nash zed bed is a 2-in-1 outdoor gear/sleeping solution and, for the zero faff buyer, it comes with a sleeping bag, power outlet and bed base all as part and parcel of the sleep system. Can’t be bothered to make up a duvet? Fret not.

Best fold out beds

Milliard Diplomat Foldable Folding Guest Bed with 12.5cm Thick Luxurious Memory Foam Mattress

Specifications: 

• Bed size – Small single
• Mattress type? Memory foam mattress

Why we love it: 

The Milliard Diplomat folding bed is the guest bed for buyers with either elderly relatives or, simply, those who put comfort at the forefront of their requirements. It may not come with a headboard as standard, but if you prop it against a wall with some throw cushions it’ll be practically as comfy as a pin-tucked winged headboard with all the bells and whistles.
