ABSTRACT:
A folding bed for supporting an intended user having a torso and a pair of lower limbs. First and second supporting sections are provided for supporting respectively the torso and the lower limbs and are pivotally coupled together through a first-to-second section pivotal link for pivotal movement between an extended configuration and a bent configuration. When the first and second supporting sections are respectively in the extended and bent configurations, the first-to-second section pivotal link is respectively at a first and a second level relative to the frame base, the second level being substantially lower than the first level. A retaining member attached to the first supporting section constrains the movement of the first supporting section such that when the first and second supporting sections are moved from the elongated configuration to the bent configuration, the second supporting section is moved towards the retaining member.
