The Hide-A-Bed was introduced in April 1940, and the innovative fold-out sleeper sofa was another in a long line of successes for the Simmons Mattress company.
It doubles as a sofa until you remove its cushions to find the spring-loaded folded metal frame and mattress beneath. By pulling on the frame or the handle, the mattress swings up and out, and then folds open to become a full-sized bed.
Newer hideaway beds include multiple mattress options in twin, full or queen sizes and use standard, air or foam mattresses to make the sleep experience more comfortable.
