Can this be used as a base for an inflatable mattress or would it have to be covered to prevent the inflatable from being punctured?

Yes, you can use it for inflatable mattress without any cover. I am sure this frame goes well for ALL mattresses that exist today.

You definitely need to cover it. I know because I used an inflatable mattress on this frame temporarily, and it was punctured on a weld edge.

I'm not sure what the manufacturer would say but I think it would work. There's bothing reay sharp on it.

I think it would be prudent to cover this bed frame with something sturdy before placing an inflatable mattress on top of it.

i would not use this for an inflatable mattress for fear it would puncture. If you use something to cover the springs, I would recommend a board (plywood) and cover that as well.

I am using a slatted base and it works fine. I was worried about the foam bending through the slats, but it has not. I should also mention that I kept a clean piece of cardboard from the interior of the box that the mattress shipped in, and put this piece of cardboard under where our bodies go. It seems to have done the trick - and for free!

There are slatted foundations available. maybe this would suit your needs. I bought this mattress and mold developed on it within 30 days. It is supposed to be mold resistant. They sai I voided the warranty by letting mold grow on the mattress. Their warranty is a joke

I don't know why not. Might have to leave it under inflated so it would bend where the bed bends but what you have is three pieces of wood hinged together and you could pretty much use anything mattress-like that can bend. The mattress is stopped from sliding off by a small rail at the bottom.

I use it as a mattress pad. If you are looking for padding this is not the cover to buy. It is very thin so it doesn't take away from the comfort of the mattress. It is waterproof so if water is spilled on the mattress it will be protected.

Yes, you'll need either a box spring or another foundation of some sort. A mattress would fall through without it.

maybe but would need tape to keep air going in good - air bed inflater is best for around 10 buck because it deflates the bed also so there is no air in it when folding to put away

No, I wouldn't use a foam mattress for this frame (unless you use 2) - something must be underneath the foam mattress.

Sure. you will likely want to use a heavy duty cover. Also be advised this mattress is very firm.

I would suggest instead you get a mushroom anchor also offered by Amazon due to the prongs on the folding anchor. If it lands with he prongs extended in the inflatable boat it could possibly puncture it.

The material is actually pretty soft and durable. I do not believe that you can puncture it, remember this is going on your box spring and mattress, you usually cover these with a fitted sheet and blanket. I have had it for a few months and I have no complaint whatsoever. Also, it is really easy to clean.

Should be fine. Since you can't put the straps around the base, simply wrap it around the mattress instead. Or strap it around the slats as others have suggested.

My apologies, but I wouldn't k now if this could be used as a base or not. It's firm, but not "rock-hard" firm... do not know how it would function as a base. Thanks and good luck!

You put it on the foam or gel mattress as shown in the picture. I wouldn't put it directly on a box spring or the frame because it is a balloon in essence and you would have puncture issues. Hope this helped

It's not washable, so I'd put a cover on it. I imagine this is the case with all memory foam mattress toppers.

The U-shaped bracket that would be supporting the boat is painted square tubular steel. It expands to a little more than 48". The clips that hold the bracket at the selected width can be positioned beneath the horizontal lower arm of the bracket so that they would not come in contact with your boat. You could easily wrap the bracket with carpet, foam padding or whatever for protection but I don't think it would be necessary as the ends of the tubular steel on my bed extender don't have any burs or sharp edges. In my opinion the bed extender should work fine with an inflatable boat without any additional protection.

I'd be careful of that ... it is an air mattress after all. Any sharp edges will damage it.
