The 6 Best Rollaway Beds of 2020

For a rollaway bed that is comfortable, practical and sturdy, the Milliard Diplomat Folding Bed is our top overall pick.

The Milliard Diplomat Folding Bed has a clamshell folding design and is only approximately 14 inches across when folded up, making it easy to store away. Many users comment on how easy it is to set up this bed since the legs begin to lower into position as you unfold the frame. It’s easy enough for one person to handle set up without any difficulty.

The bed itself is an average size for rollaway beds, measuring 75 x 38 x 17 inches. It’s generally agreed that the bed is comfortable enough for a night’s sleep by guests of all ages and that the trampoline support doesn’t pose any problems with comfort. Additionally, this bed has a 300-pound weight capacity, which is among the top weight ratings for many models of rollaway beds. A few users commented on springs breaking after a minimal amount of use, but by and large users are pleasantly surprised by the comfort, durability, and portability of this rollaway bed.

Budget rollaway beds typically come with some inherent shortcomings, but the Symple Stuff Folding Bed with Mattress offers plenty of reasons to look past its budget price tag and no-frills construction.

This rollaway bed features a 5-inch thick foam mattress, supported by a slatted bed base. Many users comment that the mattress was thicker than anticipated. The bed has a 250-pound weight limit, but it’s generally agreed that this bed is more suited to a shorter person that weighs less—or even a child. This isn’t exactly a unique shortcoming for this rollaway bed since virtually all budget rollaway beds are more suited for lighter, shorter sleepers.

Still, the frame and mattress offer an efficient, affordable option for a rollaway bed that will give your guests a place to lay their head!

Memory foam mattress have been popping up in place of traditional innerspring mattresses, and rollaway beds are no exception. The Lucid Rollaway Guest Bed is our top pick for a rollaway bed with memory foam mattress.

The Lucid Rollaway Guest Bed comes equipped with a four-inch thick memory foam mattress, with a backside that has slight grip added to keep it from sliding on the frame. This bed is available in twin, twin XL, and cot sizes. Note that when folded, it is not as compact as some other rollaway beds—since the legs don’t fold flush to the sides of the bed. You’ll need at least 14-inches of space to store this rollaway bed.

Users like the comfort offered by the memory foam mattress. Thanks to the good reports from guests, several users report buying additional beds to accommodate more company. There are many memory foam rollaway beds available for purchase, but the Lucid Rollaway Guest Bed earns the top spot thanks to its combination of comfort, convenience, and affordability.

For a mattress with a traditional innerspring construction, the Serta Folding Bed with Mattress is the best bet.

Serta is a leading name in mattress manufacturing, and the quality and reputation that come with the Serta name are folded into this rollaway bed. The bed is 73-inches long and 39-inches wide—which is the same width (but not length) as a twin XL bed. The extra width is a nice bonus if you need to adjust position during the night since it allows more room to roll over.

Snoozing guests will enjoy the support offered by 12-gauge wound helical springs. If you (or your company) are a fan of the traditional feel of an innerspring mattress over a memory foam mattress, then this Serta rollaway bed is a great buy. It also is just over 18-inches from the floor when setup, which is a greater height than some other rollaway beds on the market. This makes it easier to get on and off the bed for older guests or those with mobility issues. Get a good night’s sleep on an innerspring mattress with this highly-rated Serta Folding Bed.

For a thin, space-saving rollaway bed, the best bet is the iBed Memory Foam Rollway Guest Bed.

This ultra-slim rollaway bed folds to a mere five inches thickness and can be stored in a closet, under a traditional bed, or in any other tight spot. Many rollaway beds are anywhere from 12-15 inches when folded, making this a clear winner for small spaces.

The iBed has a 3-inch memory foam mattress, which is certainly not the plushest mattress available. Still, users consistently rate this rollaway as a comfortable solution for occasional sleeping and have no regrets about purchasing it. Its affordable purchase price makes it an even better value. If you need an extra bed but are short on space to store one, then the iBed Memory Foam Rollaway Bed is definitely the way to go!

For a rollaway bed worthy of many nights of sleep, check out the Zinus Memory Foam Resort Folding Guest Bed. When expanded and ready for use, this bed copies the look of a more traditional mattress and box spring—thanks to a fabric frame cover that matches the mattress cover. But the real advantage of this rollaway bed lies in the quality and comfort of the mattress and frame.

Users consistently agree that this bed is much more like a regular twin-sized bed than a typical rollaway cot-style bed. The dimensions are the same (38.6 x 15.4 x 48.6 inches), and the mattress features a 1-inch layer of memory foam atop a 4-inch layer of support form. The bed is sturdy and stays put once the wheels are locked into place. Rated for 400 pounds, it carries one of the highest weight ratings of rollaway beds.

It’s been noted that this bed takes more work to fold up and wheel around, and for that reason, it’s not as portable as some other rollaway beds. But for a rollaway bed that will hold up over many nights of use, the lack of portability is a small price to pay. This rollaway bed also offers a great value, since it’s premium construction comes with a mid-range price tag.
