Recommendations for a folding bed

I'd be really grateful if you could recommend me a folding / fold away bed please. We have a downstairs room which needs to be an office most if the time, but also a single bedroom for DS1 when he's home from uni. But that can be for 3 months over the summer, so has to be really comfortable. Not sure whether a Zedbed or a single that folds against a wall would be better. Im bewildered by the choice so a recommendatin would be great. Thanks.

Do u have space for a bed and a desk. I juts have ikea stacking futon in my "office". My sister lived here for a year and was very comfy on that bed now I offered to buy a better one but she was fine on it. Worth a look perhaps? Sometimes on marketplace ...

Thanks - there's not really roon for a bed and desk at the same time. DH was in their last summer with a single bed, chest of drawers and bedside table but that was it. Now we need it as an office most of the time we do need a bed that folds away either completely or against a wall. The wall-folding ones do seem extraordinarily expensive.

Not at all cheap and might be far more than you want to spend, but we have a studybed and it's a really lovely piece of furniture.

We also have a studybed, it's fantastic but cost about £2k a few years ago

It’s not ideal but I would prioritise DS comfort over style sleeping in a shit bed for upto 12 weeks could be very hard on his back I’d just put a mattress on the floor
