fold-out bed

Sofa's secret sleeper

A fold-out bed is a bed that stores compactly and unfolds for use—typically a mattress built into a sofa frame or a cot that collapses flat.

The sofa variety is also called a sleeper sofa or sofa bed: The guest room doubles as an office, so we got a fold-out bed.

Fold-out beds solve space problems but rarely match the comfort of regular mattresses.
