A folding bed is a type of bed that can be collapsed or folded for easy storage and transport. It typically features a lightweight frame and a mattress that can be folded in half or rolled up. This design makes it ideal for small living spaces, guest rooms, or for use during camping trips. Folding beds come in various styles, including cot beds, Murphy beds, and rollaway beds. They are convenient for accommodating extra guests or for use in temporary living situations. Many models are designed for comfort and can support a standard mattress size.
