Is this bed suitable for romping around on? [Serious] I need to know if this is going to be a good investment for a couple who does lots of romping.

It will definitely last you for all your rompiness. I would however take into consideration your flooring and bed frame. I'm on carpet and it seems perfectly fine.

I'm right there, and for the two weeks I used it, it was just fine. Having a background in foam rubber products, I can say the mattress is a good one for heftier people. As long as you don't double up, you should be fine.

We bought this bed to use for house guests, and it is great for that. But I think it requires a flat surface for set up. Between that concern and the weight, I'd recommend a frameless air bed as a better alternative.

Yes, I concur. Get the larger bed. Or you may also want to consider a bolster bed for your dog. They're great because they give the animal support (something to bolster against), as well as a cushy bed, and our dogs seem to prefer them to traditional beds. Good luck!

I had the same experience at the beginning, but I took it apart and looked at the directions again. they are not the clearest but once I figured how it should go, it turned out well and it's a great bed. sturdy and unshakable. good make and great deal.good luck

My opinion is it isnt good for outdoor use. I have just happened to have the bed outside for the last week thinking I would use it as such since he no longer needs it in my office. It's also happened to rain everyday this week unexpectedly (before I have time to pull it in). It's not waterproof and takes in a bunch of water. It does end up drying by the next "day'ish", but that's also because it's been hot during the day. I also notice it attracts bugs on the underside when it's been raining.

I definitely agree that it's not a good mattress for heavier people. I am a 190-pound man, and it just sinks into much. My curvy partner sometimes sleeps on it too, and it sinks too much for her too. I think it's better for light- to moderate-weight people, especially those who are slender.

I wouldn't want to say what heavy is or not but we keep it set up all the time and it's quite good. We have a reoccurring guest (170lbs) who uses it 3-4 days in a row with no complaints. And the kids totally love it because they say the mattress is so comfy. They don't even dent it when they lay on it (90lbs). My husband (220ish) uses it here and there and says it's good but hasn't used it any longer than two nights in a row. If it's transitional or you can't buy a bed right now for someone in the house, I think it's a great option. Way better than an aerobed option -- far better than a couch.

The bed is quite comfortable, and if you're used to sleeping in sleeping bags for long periods of time, I can imagine this wouldn't be a problem at all. The only problem we have had with ours is keeping it inflated. We found a leak in one of the seams after taking it in and out of the car a few times.

It definitely has that "marshmallow" feel. I am experiencing that this bed has much more give than the one that I used to own. In fact, my last one did not really leave the body impression. Like I said in my post I wish that I had seen and sprung for the $750. I am not 100% unsatisfied but from the information that I have the Deluxe would be better.

Well, if by "very active" you mean sex, then it's just fine but I wouldn't advise running around and bouncing up and down on the mattress :) I use mine with a 12" memory foam mattress and the only noises being made came from she and I during our "very active moments." So, I think it might really have more to do with how much noise you make, the type of mattress on the frame and what kind of surface it's on. I wouldn't suggest putting it directly on a hard wood flooring or any solid surface. You definitely want a rug or carpet between the legs and the floor.

I don't know what would meet your needs, of course, but I've slept on mine several months and I love it. My wife is pleased, too. I'm a 250# guy and I don't feel like I'm sleeping in a trough at all. We're happy with ours.

Personally, I think that combination will be too high. We use the mattress only.I don't know about the headboard because I installed my own.

Yes, it is worth than the price. I too bought it strictly for the living, but if there are unexpected guests then it would definitely also work as a bed.

I am in the process of installing it so we have yet to sleep in it. The Murphy bed accommodates only an inner-spring mattress (no box springs) and no comfy pillow top. Just a plain vanilla inner-spring mattress. So I do not anticipate that I would want to use it as my primary bed. However, if you are young and hardy and have no other choice then it could work. I expect it to be more comfortable than a futon bed and about as comfortable as a good convertible sofa bed. In fact, had I purchased a convertible sofa bed for the man-cave instead of a regular sofa, then I would not be assembling the Murphy bed.

My husband has used it (230 lbs) and I use it all the time. It is so comfortable and I love the fact that I can rock back and forth. We are able to move it easily from room to room. I thought I would be able to store it under one of the beds, but even folded, it is too high for that.

I cannot answer that since I have only owned my InstaBed for just a month or so. We use it just for out of town guests and when we travel. For that, I think it works well. For everyday use, my guess is that this bed may only last a few years.
