Sarah Elisabeth Jacobs-Goode (1855-1905). 

Many people lived in small homes or studios so Sarah Goode invented a folding cabinet bed. The bed looked like a desk when it was folded up and it had room for storage. People were able to utilize the spaces in their homes efficiently.

Sarah Elisabeth Jacobs-Goode received a patent for the bed on July 14, 1885.
