Frequently asked questions
What's the maximum weight on a folding bed?
Most metal-frame folding beds are rated for 100 to 130kg static load. Jay-Be's e-Pocket and Crown ranges go up to 250kg on the double models. Cheap mesh-base folding beds (under £100) sit at the lower end of the rating range; the frame is the limit, not the mattress. Check the product page before ordering for heavier sleepers.
Can you sleep on a folding bed every night?
For a few weeks, yes. Long-term, only the deeper-mattress models like the Jay-Be Crown or e-Pocket (12 to 15cm pocket-sprung) are built for nightly use. Click-clack and thin-foam folding beds (3 to 8cm depth) are designed for guest-room duty; nightly use compresses the mattress flat inside 6 months.
How thick is a folding bed mattress?
4 to 8cm for budget models (under £150), 10 to 12cm for mid-market, 13 to 18cm for premium pocket-sprung models. Anything under 10cm sleeps better than a sofa but worse than a real bed. Check the depth before ordering: the product photo always looks comfortable; the spec line tells the truth.
How much storage space does a folded bed take?
A single folding bed folds down to roughly 100 by 90 by 30cm; a double to 140 by 90 by 35cm. Fits behind most doors, in a tall under-stair cupboard, or in the boot of a hatchback car. Heavier models (Jay-Be Saturn, 35kg) need two people to wheel into position; lightweight metal-frame versions one person.
Are folding beds OK for guests with back problems?
The deep-mattress Jay-Be range (e-Pocket 12cm-plus, Saturn 18cm pocket-sprung) works for most adults with mild back issues. Avoid mesh-base folding beds (under £100) for anyone with back trouble; the mesh sags in the middle and presses the spine out of alignment. Spend £400-plus if the guest stays more than two nights.
