foldout

Bed in couch

A foldout is a page in a book, magazine, or brochure that unfolds to reveal content larger than the standard page size—typically maps, charts, diagrams, or photographs that benefit from expanded dimensions: The atlas includes a foldout map of the entire region.

Also called a gatefold.

As an adjective, it describes furniture or features designed to fold out from a compact position: a foldout couch, a foldout table.
