How does this mattress compare to a standard mattress for "bedroom activities"?

You feel like you are on a water bed. We slept on it several nights with no big issues.

An air mattress like this has little more bounce with "bedroom activities" (when inflated properly) but is durable enough to withstand most "activities". I would not advise an adult to stand on the mattress or jump up and down on the bed of course.

No this mattress is wonderful. We have a tempurpedic at home so we are used to it.

I don't know how to provide a judgement on "how soft is this mattress", since "soft" is a subjective evaluation based on personal taste. I can tell you that we're happy with it, we find it both comfortable and supportive without creating any pressure spots. We're happy with it.

i would say its more in the middle between firm and soft. i personally do not like a very firm mattress so its perfect for me

I have had it for several months. I love it. I got the 8 inch mattresses for my kids over a year ago and they love it. No issues. Yes I thought it was too good to be true too, but so far they have been wonderful. It is not a soft mattress. I was a little surprised how firm it was. I prefer it that way. It takes a minute or two to conform. It does get a bit softer over time, but no lumps or dents.

It has a mat that has a little padding, but it's not an actual mattress. I personally think it's fine :)

No different from any other type of mattress. I have not had any problems at all.

I'm using this mattress with a hand-me-down evenflo p&p. So far I have it in the bassenet part and it serves it purpose. I do think it is a little on the soft side, but some of this is due to poor underneath support. I think there will be an improvement when i move it below. No gaps around the edges is a plus. I'm not sure how it would fit other brands. I measured to assure an extra tight fit and recommend others to do the same.

thanks a bunch for your reply. I think i'm going to get the bed frame along with a thicker memory foam mattress.

Yes this is great for sleep and play. The mattress is softer than normal sleep and play set I have had in the past. I am so glad I bought it.

I USE IT ON A TRADITIONAL MATTRESS. IT GIVES ME QUITE COMFORTABLE SLEEP. FOR YOUR FUTON, it depends on how much extra padding you are looking for. This one is not overly deep, but I think there's a 3 inch version (more expensive) if you wanted even deeper padding.

We purchased this last year and are very satisfied with the mattress. We have a Sleep Number bed at home and this bed is very comparable to it. It is a major upgrade from the standard RV mattress. It has held up well and gives you a good nights sleep. It does not trap body heat and make you too warm. I would buy again in a minute.

It's pretty comfortable for something that doesn't look like it should be--so much so that I procrastinated for a month on buying a bed after I moved. I'd answer yes to the question, except for very large or particular people.

I would agree with the others, it's medium firm to firm. A lot of local mattress stores have them on the floor to try out. I would recommend lying down on various different beds before deciding to purchase on Amazon for the extreme savings.

I do use it as a regular mattress with a one inch memory foam topper. It is pretty comfortable, but I only use it at our summer camp so I don't sleep on it for more than a week at a time...it mostly likely depends on how plush you like your mattress and/or how old you are. For about the same amount of money you can buy from Amazon the Linen Spa memory foam mattress which is a real mattress and is 10" thick. I have a friend who bought one three years ago and he really likes that mattress. There is a funny video for this that you can Google which shows a guy unpacking the mattress.

It's very easy. Our sheets actually fit better with this mattress vs any other mattress we have had. The bed is a bit heavier than a normal one, once you get one corner if the sheet on it stays put unlike our old mattress that would slip off due to the bed flexing. If you know what I mean? It has happened with every mattress I've owned except this one.

foam and it is definitely better than a coil mattress. think I will get another one, since they are half of what I paid a few months ago.
