Keeping a guest bed doesn't have to mean buying an air mattress or having a full-size bed because the Wheelers Cot is small enough to fit in any space you've got. The accordion-like bed appears to be a simple piece of decorative furniture when closed. However, once the front cabinet door is opened, a full length twin bed is easily set up and perfect for a visiting guest.
The Wheelers Cot is a reproduction of a 19th century design that cleverly hides a much needed piece of furniture within a dual-purpose frame, which even allows for storage of small goods like bedding or pillows. Perfect for a basement or even a living room, the Wheelers Cot is just the ticket to make sure you’re prepared when guests arrive.
