I need a weight bench that folds flat. Not just flat, really flat. The only place where I can store one in the apartment is under the bed, and the gap is just 13 cm tall. I guess I could DIY one, a flat one at least, I just need a good idea for the folding legs.

13 cm is quite tiny. Just the bench portion (excluding any legs) would be pushing 10. If you go DIY route I think it would be easier to make a detachable bench rather than foldable.

Sometimes DIY is easier if you just breakdown an existing product to fit your needs. If you start with something like this Amazon Basics Bench (I've had mine for a few years and it's surprisingly sturdy), you'd just need to cut the legs off and devise a new attachment mechanism.
