In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the foldable bed further comprises a basal bottom element disposed at the bottom of the sheet-like element, the top end of the second front right oblique rod, the top end of the rear right extensible rod, the top end of the second front left oblique rod, the top end of the rear left extensible rod, the top end of the rear connecting rod, and the top portion of the front support portion to support the sheet-like element.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the foldable bed further comprises two support elements disposed at an outer rod of the rear right extensible rod and an outer rod of the rear left extensible rod, respectively, to support the basal bottom element.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the foldable bed further comprises a winding element. The winding element has one end connect to one of the front right extensible rod, the rear right extensible rod, the front left extensible rod, the rear left extensible rod and the rear central extensible rod.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the foldable bed is unfolded, the top portion of the front support portion is lower than a top end of the front right extensible rod, a top end of the rear right extensible rod, a top end of the front left extensible rod, a top end of the rear left extensible rod, and a top end of the rear central extensible rod.
Therefore, the foldable bed of the present disclosure can be freely unfolded and folded. When unfolded, the foldable bed has the largest possible volume so as to function. The foldable bed thus folded has the least possible volume (as its rods are drawn together) such that the folded foldable bed is convenient to store and transport.
