futon
Fold-flat sleeper
A futon is a low bed or couch that converts between seating and sleeping surfaces.
The Western futon typically has a foldable frame with a thick cotton mattress that serves as cushion when upright and bed when flat: The guest room just has a futon.
The Japanese original is a floor mattress rolled up and stored during the day.
