neutral LilianNekipelov : Not really. A collapsed bed refers usually to one that folds. broken is much better in this context.

neutral Polangmar : Zarwane łóżko wygląda na przykład tak: http://tinyurl.com/qyxg56o - zaproponowane określenia (rozchwierutane, rozklekotane, mające okres świetności za sobą itp.) nie oddają precyzyjnie tego stanu lub nawet mówią o czymś innym.
