Abstract

A bed apparatus (1) combines a bed body (3) and a collapsible bathtub (103). The bathtub (103) is vertically collapsible to be storable in a spaced under a bottom plate (106) of the bed body (3). The collapsible tub is movable by a guide member (104) between a position under the bottom plate (106) and a position on a side of the bottom plate (106). In an unused state, the bathtub (103) is stored in the space under the bed body in order to facilitate an effective use of a relatively narrow room.
