Can this be used for an adult (a senior who might roll out of bed)?

The one I bought for my toddler deflated within a week of using, so I bought another product. I would not buy this under any circumstance.

I wouldn't use it, mine got a leak within first three months. Get three of the big swim noodles and duct tape them together, put them under fitted sheet. Works great!

I would not. They deflate pretty easily. For example, any night my 3-year-old son ended up resting his head over it, it was completely flat by the morning.It worked great to train him to not fall off the bed. But I wouldn't use it on my 6-month-old baby or anyone larger than maybe 40lbs. Maybe a foam roll or memory foam body pillow that you can tuck under the sheets? That's what we use when visiting at my parents' house. I hope this helps.

Yes! We love it and use it all the time! The bands will hold it in place! My 80 year old boyfriend loves it! He can lie in bed and read, or sitting in his chair play games till his hearts content! It is heavy enough to be stable and strong enough to push out to the deck! It is on wheels! I don't think you will regret buying this! I wish I had one! He is willing to share but I bought it for him!

As long as you only need it to hold on to, it will work. If the mattress is really tall it will not work to help keep a person from rolling off the bed. Not enough of it will be exposed. But for use when getting on and off the bed you only need the handle area on top. Take off the removable pocket thing. That will give you more area to grab onto.

Hi Kathryn,That depends my mother is 78 and yes I could show her how to use the chair with no issues. However, if this person has balance/coordination issues, when it goes back it may make them uneasy or have a falling feeling only if you don't realize what you are doing. It is easy to use once they get the hang of pushing the foot bar out so that it goes back. The locking mechanism is easy to use so I would not see any issue even if they had trouble with their hands for some reason. But that is my best advise. Hopefully this helps.

For a child this mattress would work but I don't believe for an adult it would be sufficient.

It could be for an adult also but not much room if you need a lot of space. It works great for our teenagers.

Possibly. As soon as my daughter hit that 30lb mark she could easily roll over them if she wanted to get out of bed, it served more as a deterrent than anything. We no longer use them. It would really depend on how much this person moved in their sleep. It could possibly work if you got 2 sets, one to line each side of the bed as long as they are not physically trying to get up and over them.

Yes it would be suitable for an adult. It is fine for anyone who needs a small flat surface and isn't sitting at a desk or table.

No. The alarm wouldn't be by the adult's ear (unless they're rather short), and this particular alarm is fairly useless since if you rolled over in bed the 80's technology phone jack would just fall out.

No.people in bed for long times must still be turned.Also we returned it because my 100lb mother flattened the mattress.we bought a memory foam mattress & it worked alot better than the gel foam.

I agree, a hard question! I gave one to my granddaughter when she began her first year of college and she is a very tall girl, but not "large". She loves it. I also gave one to a tall boy who is a senior in high school and he likes it. But I wouldn't call him a large adult. Both use it as a bed rest for reading in bed. I think it may not work as well for a large adult. You could try it out and return it if it seems "unfit." Amazon is very good about returns!

No and I would not ever recommend this to an adult. If you weigh over 110 pounds, this will not work for you. There simply is not enough elasticity in the materials used.

Hello, I have owned this item for over a year now, and yes we have allowed "adults" to use it, we just make sure it is one at a time!

I don't think it would hold the weight of an adult. It is really just a foot rest. But I love it for that function!

It could, but mostly for use as a guest bed, not a bed to be used every night by an adult. It's perfect however for our toddler!

No. This is absolutely not a good workout for older folks -- there is a lot of jumping around that's occuring, and it's very strenuous. The stress that this workout will place on your joints and bones is something that I would NEVER suggest an older person undertake. I'll go even further and state that you would probably risk permanent injury to yourself if you were to undertake this exercise at an advanced age.

It is very creaky - but ok-ish for adult activities. We don't have very... Vigorous... Activities, but I'm very overweight so I feel like that part evens out. It's a low bed so one person standing, one lying down wouldn't work easily. Also, please keep in mind that I had to buy a ton of metal hardware to even put mine together, let alone sleep on it. The pieces they provide don't line up well and are flimsy particle board. If it weren't too heavy to maneuver, I'd have sent it back. Amazon gave me a 50% refund to keep it, which covered the cost of a screw gun and the reinforcements I bought. Seriously, buy something else It is very creaky - but ok-ish for adult activities.
