Ah, the bed. A place of security, stability and relaxation where one can sleep your cares awa— SNAP! The bed folds in half like a taco shell, trapping the occupant between the raised head and foot. If you're in a comedy, the only injury will be to your dignity, but if you're in a drama there are no such guarantees. And if it's a horror flick, it can get downright gruesome... A Sub-Trope of Murphy's Bed. See also Bear Trap. A reclining sister trope to Shackle Seat Trap. |

An early episode of The Jetsons showed George's bed folding up lengthwise to turn into a toaster, which then pops him out with all the vigor you expect of a six-foot-long toaster. | |

Gaston Lagaffe: One of Gaston's invention is a switch-operated folding relaxing chair (conveniently next to many other switches that do something else). Before he tested it, he went home, but curiosity got the better of Fantasio and of course, he pressed the wrong switch... | |

Often happens in cartoony hospitals, where someone in a full body cast will have the misfortune of having a bed that will painfully sandwich them. Showed up in Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Popeye and Quack Pack, among others. | |

Parodied in The Simpsons: Homer refuses to get out of bed, so Marge folds it up. We hear a crunch and see red fluid drip out. Terrified, Marge quickly unfolds it, and out tumbles Homer, perfectly fine, but crying over his crushed and dripping juicebox. | |

In the film The Wrong Guys, Richard Lewis attempts to set up a cot in a tent which keeps doing this to him. Eventually he ties this "cot from hell" in place, and is finally able to lie down on it. However, then another character actually causes the entire tent to collapse, and we can see the shape of the cot folding up again underneath it, while Richard screams in agony. | |

In the Total Drama episode "X-Treme Torture", DJ has to skydive from a helicopter while his team maneuvers a fold-out bed/sofa on the ground to cushion his fall. When he lands on it, the entire thing folds up and traps him inside, and his team members just walk away while whistling to themselves. | |

In the TV series St. Elsewhere, Mrs. Hufnagel [a recurring character as a patient] dies as a result of a folding hospital bed folding up on her. While it's overall treated seriously, there's some degree of comedy shown as well: the first person to discover her doesn't take it seriously until she doesn't respond to him, and when he tells some other doctors about the incident afterwards, two of them can't help but chuckle. It's also played with in that, while it certainly didn't help, that wasn't actually what killed her. | |

In the James Bond movies: Q occasionally tests one of these in his lab, often hurting some poor peon. In You Only Live Twice, Bond's death is faked in the opening by having him trapped in a fold-out bed in a hotel, which is then peppered with bullets by mooks. |

In another Leslie Nielsen movie, Spy Hard, Dick Steele (Agent WD40) traps a would-be assassin in his fold-out bed. Then he goes to play some golf. Whether he did it deliberately is hard to tell, considering the character is either Obfuscating Stupidity, Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, or a Bunny-Ears Lawyer. | |

Rugrats: In the episode, "Stu-Maker's Elves", Butt-Monkey Chuckie gets trapped in one of these when he and Tommy descend into the Pickles' basement in search of a lost toy. At the end of "The Mattress", Phil presses a button on the control panel to Lou's new Sleepmaster 2000 mattress, making it fold up between him, Tommy, Chuckie, and Lil. The latter three all glare angrily at him for doing so. |

In The Wuzzles, Croc, seeking shelter from a tropical fruit storm (yes, as in a storm where it rains bizarre hybrids of tropical fruits, like coconut/bananas) by pretending to be injured on a "broken" step (which he himself broke) at Butterbear's, is tossed into bed by a Bumblelion who secretly witnessed his plan. The bed promptly folded up on him (Croc, not Bumblelion). | |
