The second bed frame subunit is pivotable relative to the first bed frame subunit to fold the main bed frame unit from a bed flat state, where the first bed frame subunit and the second bed frame subunit are arranged in a lengthwise direction, to a bed folded state, where the first bed frame subunit is stacked on top of the second bed frame subunit. Two lateral bed frame units are connected to two lateral sides of the first bed frame subunit and the second bed frame subunit. A backrest actuating device is connected to the first bed frame subunit, and is operable for driving the first bed frame subunit to switch between a first flat state and a first bent state.

[0053] The width-adjustable foldable bed of the disclosure has the following effects. [0054] 1. By virtue of the lateral bed frame units 4 being respectively and detachably connected to two lateral sides of the first bed frame subunit 31 and the second bed frame subunit 32 in the widthwise direction (X) when the main bed frame unit 3 is in the bed flat state, a width of the width-adjustable foldable bed of the disclosure is increased; that is, the width-adjustable foldable bed of the disclosure is in the form of a double bed. In addition, to transport the width-adjustable foldable bed, the lateral bed frame units 4 are detached from the first bed frame subunit 31 and the second bed frame subunit 32, such that a width of the width-adjustable foldable bed is decreased and a package dimension of the width-adjustable foldable bed is reduced to lower the transport cost for the network-based sale of the width-adjustable foldable bed.
