Folding Beds, Guest Beds or Z Beds

What is a Z Bed? Everything You Need to Know About Folding Guest Beds

Years ago, Z beds were a popular choice for occasional guest beds. The name “Z bed” comes from their original folding design, which folded into three parts, forming the shape of the letter "Z". While they were compact and practical, they were often basic—more like a glorified deck chair or sun lounger than a true bed.

Do People Still Use the Term Z Bed?

These days, few people walk into bed shops asking specifically for a "Z bed". However, interestingly, "Z bed" remains a highly searched term on Google, and many companies still use it in their website meta titles and descriptions for SEO. The term is even still defined in the dictionary as “an occasional bed that folds in the shape of a Z.”

Modern Z beds generally fold in two rather than three, but the name has stuck around—especially online. Today, they're more commonly referred to as folding beds, guest beds, or portable beds.
