Jay-Be Folding Beds
Jay-Be folding beds stand out for their durability and comfort. They are designed to set up in seconds and fit conveniently in a wardrobe or cupboard, making them ideal for unexpected guests or quick room conversions. Available in various sizes, including single and double folding beds, Jay-Be beds ensure a good night's sleep with their quality mattresses and well-built sturdy bed frames.
How do I build a folding bed?
Jay-Be folding beds come pre-assembled, so you don’t have to worry about setting up your new fold out bed when it arrives - instead, it’ll be ready to use straight away.
Many other folding beds come with detailed instructions and can be tricky to build correctly. If you prefer not to have the responsibility of building things, a pre-assembled Jay-Be bed frame is a great option.
How long do folding beds last?
The lifespan of a folding bed depends on its build quality and how frequently it is used. High-quality folding beds, such as those from Jay-Be, are designed to be durable and can last for decades with proper care. They all come with a lifetime guarantee, which you can register with Jay-be once you’ve received your bed.
Are folding beds worth it?
We wholeheartedly think so, yes. Folding beds are worth it for their convenience and versatility. They provide a comfortable sleeping solution that can be easily stored when not in use, so you don’t have to keep them out all the time like you do with a sofa bed. This makes them ideal for small spaces or as an extra bed for guests.
Do folding beds come with a mattress?
All of our Jay-Be folding beds include a convenient, comfy mattress or comfort pad that easily folds up with the bed frame. You won’t need to purchase a separate mattress for your fold-out bed - it’s an all-in-one sleep solution!
What should I look for in a folding bed?
When choosing a folding bed, consider factors such as mattress quality, frame sturdiness, ease of assembly, and storage dimensions. Look for features like locking mechanisms for safety and wheels for easy mobility. Jay-Be folding beds are a great example of combining all these features into one product.
For children, consider a small folding bed that can fit neatly under your little one’s bed for when their friends stay the night. For adults, choosing a larger size bed to offer your guests may give them a more comfortable night’s sleep at a moment’s notice!
Can you sleep on a folding bed every night?
While folding beds are ideal for occasional use, high-quality models, such as Jay Be Folding beds can also be used for nightly sleeping. They pack away easily in the daytime, much like a Murphy bed, but with more versatility.
If you’re looking for a bed for a heavier person, we’d recommend a firmer, wooden bed frame with a slatted base, but for kids or guests, a fold out bed is the perfect solution. In fact, Jay-Be folding beds even have a pop-up headboard, so they look and feel like a proper, supportive bed frame. They’re the ideal children’s bed for smaller rooms, as you can easily fold it away to give your little one more space to play!
What are fold-up beds called?
Fold-up beds are also referred to as folding beds, fold-away beds, hideaway beds, camp beds, convertible beds, or roll-away beds. These terms are often used interchangeably, but if you feel you need more help choosing which bed to buy, read our Bed Buying Guide or contact our helpful Sleep Expert team.
