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.

Figures the manufacturer does not publish appear as «—». We would rather leave a gap than fill it with an invented number.

The analysis
Ten centimetres. That is what this bed measures folded, and it is the number that makes a guest bed possible in a flat with no guest room: 10 cm goes in a wardrobe, behind a door, under another bed. Open it is 190 by 70 cm and it stands 35 cm off the floor.
It weighs 7.9 kg and needs no assembly at all: you unfold it and the legs click. That combination, flat and light and instant, is why this is the one that actually gets used rather than the one that stays in the loft.
The mattress is included and is an e-Fibre core, breathable and OEKO-TEX certified. Be realistic about it: it is thin, and the reviews that drop stars are about exactly that. For a couple of nights it is fine; it is not a bed somebody should sleep on for a month.
And check the width before buying bedding: 70 cm is narrower than a UK standard single, so a normal single sheet will not sit tight on it.
In favour
- Folds to 10 cm: it slides into a wardrobe or under a bed
- 7.9 kg, and it unfolds in seconds with no tools
- Mattress included, OEKO-TEX certified
- 7,933 ratings averaging 4.4, and a lifetime frame guarantee
Against
- 70 cm wide: narrower than a standard single
- 35 cm off the floor is low for getting in and out
- The e-Fibre mattress is thin: comfortable for nights, not for months
Best for: A one-bedroom flat where a guest bed has to live in a cupboard eleven months a year.
What the people who bought it say
Across 7,933 ratings the average is 4.4, by far the most evidence on this page. Buyers keep mentioning how flat it folds and how fast it opens. The complaints are about the mattress being thin and the bed being narrow.
