Our assessment
Editor's score from 0 to 10 on five criteria. These are not the manufacturer's figures: they are our judgement, and we explain how we work them out in how we choose.

Worked out with an absolute anchor Editorial judgement
We could not score «capacity» because the manufacturer does not publish the figures needed. That axis shows as zero on the chart: it is a declared gap, not a low score.
Full technical details
Figures the manufacturer does not publish appear as «—». We would rather leave a gap than fill it with an invented number.

The analysis
At 10 cm thick folded, the bed can stand as a narrow block behind a door or in a gap beside a wardrobe; the width stays at 70 cm, so that gap needs to be at least that wide, and standing it reaches 95 cm tall. Laid flat instead, that same 10 cm becomes its height, low enough to slide under a bed or sofa with that clearance.
Folded and stood on edge, it takes up 5% of the floor it takes up open, 70 × 10 cm against 70 × 190 cm, bringing the 13,300 cm² footprint it uses when open down to a narrow strip once it is put away.
According to the manufacturer, the frame carries a lifetime guarantee while the mattress is covered for one year, and the e-Fibre mattress is OEKO-TEX certified. It does not publish a single consistent maximum user weight: the listing states both 120 kg and 140 kg in different places.
In favour
- At 7.9 kg it can be lifted and carried by one person without help.
- No assembly required: it arrives ready to unfold, with legs that click into place according to the manufacturer.
- The e-Fibre mattress is OEKO-TEX certified, according to the manufacturer, for hypoallergenic contact fabric.
Against
- Stood on edge rather than laid flat, it reaches 95 cm tall and no longer fits under a bed; only lying flat does it give that clearance.
- The manufacturer publishes two different maximum user weights, 120 kg and 140 kg, with no indication of which applies.
- The mattress cover is limited to one year, far shorter than the lifetime guarantee on the frame.
Best for: Anyone who needs an occasional guest bed that can fold away into a cupboard or corner between visits.
