Folding mattress

A folding mattress, also known as a folding mattress or folding guest bed, is the practical and space-saving solution for overnight guests if your home has limited space or there is no separate guest room. Compared to a classic guest bed with a bed frame, the foldaway mattress takes up very little space, making it a real space-saving miracle.</p

<p>While guest rooms remain unused for most of the year but take up valuable living space, a folding mattress only takes up space when it is really needed. As a flexible guest mattress, it offers comfortable sleeping properties that are in no way inferior to a conventional mattress - and costs only a fraction of the price of a bed with slatted frame and bed base. This makes folding mattresses a particularly inexpensive solution for accommodating small and large overnight guests in comfort.

<p>If you need a comfortable children's mattress, a climbing and romping area for the children's room or a travel mattress for camping and caravans, a folding mattress is also a good choice. The foldable all-rounder can also be transformed into a cozy stool and side table in no time at all or used as a back-friendly intervertebral disc cube.

Space-saving folding mattresses - sizes and dimensions

Our folding mattresses made of high-quality foams are ideal for adults and children with a wide range of sleeping and lying needs. Simply unfolded, the lying surface of the multi-part folding mattress corresponds to the dimensions of a normal single or double mattress, with enough space for large and small sleeping guests, singles or couples. Compactly folded and equipped with a carrying handle, the folding mattress can be taken anywhere and stored in a wardrobe or car trunk to save space.

When buying a folding mattress, it is advisable to know the different sizes in order to decide which mattress size best suits your needs. Folding mattresses are available in a wide range of sizes in extra-long and intermediate sizes.

Folding mattresses consist of three or six interconnected foam elements, depending on whether it is a single or double mattress. When folded, the elements are sewn together and stacked on top of each other to save space, so that the mattress shrinks to a fraction of its lying surface when not in use.
