The Best Rollaway Beds to Make Extra Space for Guests

Though it is on the more expensive side, the Milliard Deluxe Diplomat Folding Bed has everything you’d hope for in a rollaway bed. The sturdy steel frame can support up to 300 pounds, making it a suitable sleeping spot for most adults. The included 5-inch Twin mattress offers a bit more room to move around than your standard cot.

The mattress is surprisingly comfortable, according to reviewers, likely because it’s composed of a 3.5-inch base foam and a 1.5-inch memory foam layer. Unlike many other options, it’s also CertiPUR-US certified, which means it meets third-party guidelines that guarantee it’s constructed without ozone depleters.

The mattress comes with a polyester cover that’s machine washable, and when it’s time to stash the bed, the whole thing secures together with a quick-close latch. Wheels make it easy to transport from room to room, even though it is on the heavier side. (At 57 pounds, this fold-up bed is the heaviest one on our list.)

Another Twin-sized rollaway bed that offers a little bit more space to sleep, the Giantex Rollaway Folding Bed has many of the same great features as our top overall pick, yet comes at a fraction of the price.

We also love that the steel frame is made with wooden slats instead of springs, offering even more support and durability. It's worth noting, however, that the weight capacity on this foldable bed is just 265 pounds, which is significantly less than most others and may not be strong enough for heavier adults.

The memory foam mattress is made of 4 inches of high-density support foam that's breathable and offers medium support to suit all types of sleepers. And when it's time to clean up, this option is even easier to fold up. It weighs a manageable 37 pounds and has a locking mechanism to keep the mattress from opening as you wheel it back into its storage space.

A happy medium between our top overall pick and our best value pick, this foldable bed checks most boxes. The sturdy steel frame can hold up to 300 pounds, offering enough stability for most adults.

It is a cot size, so it's slightly smaller than a standard Twin bed, which may not be comfortable for larger individuals, but the smaller dimensions are nice if you have limited storage space. The mattress is comfortable, according to reviewers.

It boasts a total of 5 inches of foam, which is 1.5 inches of memory foam and 3.5 inches of high-density support foam. For convenience, it comes with a machine-washable cover, too.

At 45 pounds, it's heavier than some other options, which hinders portability to some extent, but does add to the overall support and durability of the bed. We also love that this rollaway comes with a storage cover, so it won't collect as much dust when not in use.

Slightly larger than standard rollaway beds, which often come in cot sizes, this one offers a Twin-size 5-inch memory foam mattress that offers more room for adults and larger individuals to sleep comfortably. It has a weight capacity of up to 300 pounds.

For this much durability and stability, the sacrifice is the weight of the bed. It's a whopping 50 pounds, which makes attic or basement storage a tall order. However, it comes on four smooth rolling wheels that make transport a breeze when stored on the same floor. They also lock into place to keep the bed in place during use.

We like that the mattress is encased in a cover that's machine-washable, plus comes with a dust cover to keep the bed cleaner when not in use.

This thin rollaway bed may not look like much, but it’s a win for those working with limited space. Because it’s a cot, it doesn’t offer as much room to move about, but it does easily fit into tighter areas of the home — both when in use and when being stored. When folded, the portable bed measures just 10.5 inches deep, tying just one other pick on our list for the slimmest design.

Despite its more petite size, the bed can support up to 300 pounds, which is suitable for many adults. Reviewers say the 3-inch memory foam mattress is surprisingly comfortable and supportive, likely aided by the design, which is a combination of wood slats and reinforced wire mesh.

From the makers of our top overall pick, this rollaway cot is a more budget-friendly option with an enviable feature: its weight. At 32 pounds, it's the lightest wheeled rollaway bed on our list. And since it has wheels, it should be a cinch to move about the house. With the help of another person, you could even carry this one up or down a flight of stairs, if necessary.

For this benefit, there's not much sacrifice to be made in the way of comfort. The foldable bed boasts a 4-inch foam mattress and a sturdy metal frame that supports up to 264 pounds. Because this weight capacity isn't as high as others, though, some reviewers prefer this pick for kids over adults.

Because it adjusts to six different positions, this rollaway bed is a unique option for those who want the flexibility to read or watch TV in bed. It's also a worthy choice for aging adults who may want a more permanent option for resting in another room of the house. To prevent mishaps when getting in or out, it has eight wheels, four of which are lockable.

It may not be the most comfortable fold-up bed out there — the sponge and cotton mattress doesn't offer much padding against the steel frame — but it does have an enviable weight capacity. The bed can hold upwards of 330 pounds.
