Foldable bed

A foldable bed, comprising:

• a frame with a first end and a second end;
• a first side rail and a second side rail, each side rail including a first end disposed at the first end of the frame and a second end disposed at the second end of the frame, each side rail being parallel to a longitudinal center axis of the bed;
• at least one leg assembly secured to the first side rail and the second side rail;
• and
• a first end rail including a first outer hinge, the first outer hinge connecting a first distal end of the first end rail to the first end of the first side rail so that the first end rail is movable from a first position in which the first end rail is perpendicular to the first side rail to a second position in which the first end rail is parallel too the first side rail.

A method of folding a foldable bed, comprising:

• providing a frame with a first end and a second end;
• providing a pair of side rails, each side rail including a first end disposed at the first end of the frame and a second end disposed at the second end of the frame, each side rail being parallel to a longitudinal center axis of the bed;
• providing at least one leg assembly secured to the pair of side rails;
• providing at least one end rail including a first portion, a second portion and a center hinge, the first portion and the second portion of the at least one end rail including a proximal end secured to the center hinge and a distal end rotatably secured to the first end of a corresponding side rail;
• and
• lifting upwardly on the at least one end rail so that the first portion and the second portion of the at least one end rail are moved from a first position in which the first portion and the second portion of the at least one end rail are axially aligned to a second position in which the first portion and the second portion of the at least one end rail are substantially parallel to each other.
