Like bed that might collapse with abnormal weight of a lady (8)
I believe the answer is:
foldaway
'like bed that might collapse' is the definition.
(a foldaway bed can be collapsed easily)
'abnormal weight of a lady' is the wordplay.
'abnormal' indicates an anagram.
'weight' becomes 'w' (short for weight).
'w'+'of'+'a'+'lady'='wofalady'
'wofalady' with letters rearranged gives 'FOLDAWAY'.
'with' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
