fold down

Flatten for storage

Fold down describes something hinged or flexible that collapses flat, typically for storage or to save space: fold down the back seats, a fold-down table.

The phrase works as a verb or adjective: The tray folds down from the seat back.

A fold-down bed mounts to the wall and lowers when needed.
