I was thinking of this for my mom when she visits. Is this sturdy enough to sit on the edge? Wouldn't want her to slip off of it.

I can sit on it. I'm 6'5" 280. This is my everyday bed. They are great. I put an foam topper and a comforter under the bottom sheet. I gave away my S#### brand queen bed.

Yes, when properly inflated it is sturdy and very similar to the feel of a traditional mattress and box spring set just sitting without a frame.

It is definitely sturdy enough to sit on the edge. Also, you have complete control to set the firmness however you prefer.

Very sturdy, should have no problems sitting on it . Sets up easy and puts away easy with electric pump.

It is the firmest inflatable mattress I have ever sat/laid on. I believe it would support your mother nicely. Additionally, when we set it up, we put a thick/soft blanket under the sheets to make it more comfortable...it is that rigid. I suppose you could use a mattress pad or inflate it a little less but I like how mushy it isn't!

if you have it aired up good stand firm there should be no problem sitting on the edge of it also it is worth every penny that you pay for it I had it aired up for almost 30 days with people sleeping on it. It didnt go down at all its worth the price

A person can sit on the edge for a short time, as when getting up to get out of bed. But to sit on side of bed and, for instance, to put one's socks and shoes on, would probably not be a good idea. Bed would need to be very firmly inflated for edge to be firm enough for prolonged sitting. But then there is the risk of over-inflation as I recently caused and the interior baffles which create the ribbed "quilting" burst, leaving one side of bed higher than the other side. I had slightly slid off side and clumsily fell back on. When I quickly bounced up, I heard a popping sound and that was when the baffles on that side broke.

Yes, its sturdy enough, just make sure it doesn't slide off when your dog tries to get on it. It needs to be secured somehow.

It's a really nice, sturdy table but I would not use the hook on chair. I am almost certain it would tip over.

I bought this as a gift for my Mom and Sister. My Mom is 71 and loves it. They both say it is sturdy. I hope this helps.

My mom is 84 next month and it is not hard for her to use at all. She uses a cushion on top. The only thing I can say negative is that it is not light and a little difficult for her to move if she wants to use it on different furniture.

What a good question. I haven't considered it, because I'm not that size. I've put heavier things on it. No, I don't think I'd let my 115 lbs child sit on it, though. I really am pleased with this. It looks very nice, as in the photo. I was actually expecting something more cheaply made. I'd give it five stars. Megan is correct, it is rather high. I might plop a toddler here, temporarily, to help with shoes or similar. I think a person tall enough to sit here might be too heavy. (??)

No, it is very sturdy -- takes a lot to tip it over. But I'd watch the speed on going downhill, for sure.

It is sturdy enough for most people to use it as a seat. I would flip it though and sit on the bottom. That will put much less strain on the structure than sitting on the lid.

It really won't tip over. The only concern I would have is that it is narrow inside, and for larger people it may pose a problem getting in and out.

Its very very heavy. It would not tip over. I have kids who play with it at times. Its not a problem. You would be happy with it.

It would not be stable to sit on. Not safe at all. Its a table. Not a bench.

It is fairly sturdy. You could sit on it. Probably wood, but it was covered with fabric so you can't see it.

It's very sturdy. I've had mine for years. I bought one for my sister just recently.

I would suggest it is sturdy enough but not comfortable enough. Good for sitting in garden

It is very sturdy and has held up to a lot of abuse even from an older sibling. However, any adult would have trouble sitting on it. You just won't fit between the arm rests.

Yes, it is sturdy enough that a cat would not tip it over, unless it's a really huge cat dropping onto it from above. If you're just talking about a cat hopping onto it from the desktop, no problem.

probably it is pretty sturdy. you could probably set it on a table against a wall.
