Fold out bed / mattress

Morning!

I'm looking for something that we can roll/fold out as a mattress for our little one, when we have guests and want to use his room for them. We have decent storage options but, by the same token, would appreciate it not being too crazy large. I'm also thinking something that'd be ok for a friend of his to sleep on, when he's a little older and perhaps has sleepovers.

We do have spare bedrooms but we're renovating and it'll be a while before they're all done. Plus, our intention is to host quite a few people at once, on occasion, so it may be I end up with more than one of these things if I can find something decent!

I really don't like air beds or camp beds, but I'm looking for something to serve a similar purpose.

Suggestions would be very much appreciated.

We’ve got the Milliard Tri-Fold (6-inch) from Amazon. It’s thick enough that an adult guest won’t feel like they’re sleeping on a yoga mat, but it’s perfect for kids' sleepovers because it’s low to the ground. When it’s not in use, it folds into a block that we shove in the cupboard or use as a "reading throne" for our toddler.

It’s survived the renovation dust and several bouts of guest-induced sleep deprivation quite well. Just buy the storage bag unless you want it to become a giant lint magnet under the bed.
