This invention provides a combined bed and wheelchair wherein the bed frame and any mattress thereon have a cut-out extending from the foot end thereof. An insert having a head section, a center section and a foot section which are normally aligned in a common plane is adapted to fit in and substantially fill the cut-out. The sections are hingedly connected together with the insert being automatically transformable into a chair as the insert is removed from the frame. Wheels are connected to at least one section of the insert to permit the insert to be rolled and removed from the frame. The automatic transformation is preferably performed through the operation of first and second coacting elements mounted, respectively, to the frame and insert.
