A great folding bed for visitors

J.O. · 15 October 2025

We used the twin size Milliard Deluxe Diplomat Folding Bed for a visitor at our house. He used the bed for about a week. He said it was comfortable and slept well. It was easy to assemble. It's a bit heavy to move around. The only problem with this bed is the mattress moves around length wise. To fix that my wife stuffed something between the mattress and the end rail. Overall a good bed. Now we have to find somewhere in the garage to store it.

Very good quality. Strong metal frame.

This bed came extremely quickly - only 2 days after I ordered it. The instructions were fairly clear, although there was one place where the company could have been clearer. In the package contents list, they showed each of the items but did not say where two of them would be found: those two items were tied to the bed frame, in a hard-to-see area. Until I found those items, I thought that some parts were missing. Also, in one of the enlarged areas showing proper placement of some parts, it was hard to determine which parts should go where because the enlargement was blurry.I was surprised to find such a comfortable yet firm mattress on a foldaway bed. When I tested it after assembling it, I almost fell asleep immediately.The bed is good, and the delivery was outstanding in timeliness and safe handling and packaging of the bed. The only reason I’m rating this item at 4 stars and not 5 is the lack of complete clarity as noted above. As a matter of fact, I am seriously considering buying another bed right now: soon we’ll need another one, so it would be nice to save some money on Bolo Days.

Great sturdy fold able bed

A. · 4 April 2018

This is a very sturdy collapsible bed. Reminds me of good comfortable folding beds that hotels carry at times. I am very happy with the buy. At first the mattress felt hard but after a few nights of use it started to feel comfortable. It feels like a heavy duty fold-able bed and it fits in my closet between my hanging clothes and the wall so it stays out of the way. Overall the assembly was very easy, not too much assebly, but to intall 4 wheels and 4 screws with wheel handle by hand and 4 screws to put on the handles at the end that hold the mattress in place when folded.A few faults in my opinion:1. When item was opened the side railings are folded in two for shipping purposes seems like to me and the edge of the railing had gotten bent. I guess due to shipping. But got a few tools, a round screw driver and some pliers and with care, bent them back to their original place which allowed me to put the bed together. After you do this there is no need to mess with the side rails again as they stay there permanently after assembled.2. The small wrench that comes with it to put the wheels on is kind of weak so you may need a stronger thin wrench to tighten the wheels on to a comfortable feel.3. The strap that holds the bed and mattress folded together seems like may brake easily as it is only held together with a small washer and a pressure rivet and the strap itself is kind of long. I turned them once assembled and wrapped them around the handle so that it would become smaller and it would help with keeping less tension on the rivet itself. Hoping this will make it last a little longer.4. When regular use you have to open the outer legs first and place 2 supporting arm latches to their corresponding pins on the side rail for safety and support I suppose, which is pretty easy. But when taking these apart you may have to place your foot on the bottom legs where the wheels are on and move the outer legs back and forth a little to get the support latch loose and when doing this sometimes hits the mattress so be careful not to do it so hard that you cut the mattress.Other than that it's a great buy for me. Thank you all.

Easy to Assemble and Stash When Not Needed - Plus Update

I put this bed together a few days ago by myself. I'm a average sized, 64 year old woman with some skills, but there really was no challenge, IMHO, but for the weight, which wasn't even an issue for me. All you need to do is screw in the threaded feet/wheels and the mattress supports on the ends. A ,pretty worthless, open end wrench and an allen wrench are provided for these tasks. You fold the sides up and lock them in place, then put both sides down, securing them as instructed, and lay the plastic enclosed, deflated mattress on, and carefully remove the plastic. You are instructed to leave the mattress re-inflate for a day or two for full comfort, as you need to do with most of these types of foam core mattresses.I made the bed, adding a slightly padded mattress cover, but haven't yet slept on it as it's at an apartment that we occasionally use throughout the year. I did lay on it and it seemed rather firm compared to my regular bed, but it had just been unwrapped an hour or so earlier. I will add to this review after having slept on it.It is a full sized twin bed, though the mattress is thin compared to a spring mattress, but I expected that. If I can't sleep well on it, I will look into adding a foam topper, but that remains to be seen.It's nice that it can be made even smaller and shorter for storage by folding the sides down again, as it was when shipped, which I wasn't aware you could do when I ordered it. I'm not sure how well the mattress would fold if doing this, but assume it would be doable as it's pliable foam.In my opinion, this is a much better alternative than a sofa-bed as a temporary sleeping arrangement, if you have the storage space. Even without yet actually sleeping through a night on it, it's more comfortable than any sofa-bed I've ever slept on as there are no rails poking you through the mattress. It's nice to have the space of a full sized twin too, and normal linens fit adequately.I'm hopeful that I can get a restful sleep and I will add to my review after actually spending nights on it.Edit - I finally have had a chance to sleep on this for a few nights. The first night, I have to say, did not go that well. The bed felt too hard and I didn't get a lot of sleep, in spite of being very tired. The next few nights, however, were MUCH better, and I slept without interruption for hours, which is uncommon for me even at home. The foam is supportive while being firm. I didn't miss the depth of mattress on a regular, spring type mattress. The full-sized twin is easy to sleep on without feeling cheated for space, though I'm not a large person at 5' 5" and average middle-age weight.I'm super happy with my purchase and recommend that you try it for a few nights before you pass judgement.I did put this mattress pad: https://www.Bolo.com/dp/B0756Y5LZ6/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_15 on it which added just a bit of pillowy softness on top.
