Can someone comment a little on how comfortable/uncomfortable are the "non-sleeping" activities on this mattress?

While I don't imagine you will have any trouble reading a book, the memory gel might affect your basket weaving abilities. :)

Personally I feel like my hands and knees sink into the mattress a little more than I'd like.

No, it's very seamless and comfortable. The only thing I would say to watch out for is if you are moving the mattress around. I was dragging it into place one day and it almost felt like I could've ripped it where the folds are. The seams are strong there, I just didn't want to test it.

That's a good question Cindie. I purchased the mattress but didn't check. I do have to say that this mattress is VERY comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised just how much we enjoy it.

Both my husband and I feel the pad is firm but very comfortable on the spine and muscles. We are experiencing much better and longer sleep. Hope that is helpful.

I agree with Lauren0418. I wouldn't call it a "mattress"... it seems uncomfortable to me and our nebworn did not like it. Looked cold and uninviting. I wish i new about putting another pad (which is another purchase).. maybe that would have helped.

The sleeper is quite comfortable as is. Keep in mind it is a convertible which limits too much added density if you have an expectation of leaving mattress inside the converted ottoman. If you store it elsewhere your options are definitely increased.

Happily and surprisingly, no! I have similar issues with being very warm, when I sleep. I've noticed no major difference (except for much better comfort to my back and the rest of my body), between sleeping on this mattress, vs. any other.

Not that I have experienced. However, with that being said, sometimes it feels as if it too firm and then the next night, just right. Honestly, I think it the way I am sleeping or if I am overly tired. I do have to take it from the top of the bed and use it between the boxspring and mattress. Hope that helps.

I've never personally slept on the Intex mattress but I have laid on it. Our guests have found it comfortable and they're older. I believe that it's firm enough to be supportive for one's back. You do have a fair amount of wiggle room with how much you inflate the mattress--the more inflated, the firmer it will be. If it's too firm, you can always let some air out of it.

Hi. I don't sleep on mine. I just lay on it for about 30 minutes. I find that is enough, to achieve a nice sensation.

You can definitely feel it when there is nothing in there. I took others recommendation and added an air mattress and it was my best camping experience so far. I recently acquired a memory foam mattress topper that I plan to try out as I don't feel I need the full thickness of an air mattress to keep from feeling that bar.

I've never used it while sleeping so I'm not sure about that. It's comfortable enough that you can use it on a daily basis. I can imagine you can work out with it even though I've never done that. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

at 72 years old and a back suffering person for years, i find the mattress very comfortable, put a good matress pad on itand i think you will find it to your liking.. its not a pillow top, but i was not looking for that...very comfortable...

I have slept on the same standard twin futon for 25 years, and for me, it's comfortable. However, I placed a thick "Cuddle Ewe" under-quilt on top of it quite a long time ago, and I'm sure that makes all the difference.

I've managed to sleep 6+ hours with them on. Not the most comfortable but not bad. If you can use a pillow you should be fine. I've used a rolled up aircraft blanket which was enough.

I'd say that it is firm, and may feel a bit too firm the first 2 nights. The memory foam layer is only two inches thick, so we don't sink in very far. After the first few nights its really comfortable even for side sleepers.

I bought a rather thick mattress but no boxsprings because I wanted comfort. It wasn't the cheapest nor was it the most expensive, I guess middle of the road. I also put pillows on the backside.
