Can an older lady move this bed comfortably and set it up alone?

I guess I'm an older lady, and I set it up myself. The cross bars take a little work to get in place, but the bed is very light, and I had it set up in less than fifteen minutes, once I saw how the cross bars fit.

Hello Kathy,Define age and height. It is relatively light but takes some coordination to get it set up.

A Senior Citizen can slide the cot across a wooden or tile floors. From a scale of 1 to 10 in difficulty in setting up the cot, 5 only if she is use to setting up things.

it is light enough to move the hardest part would be putting the end pieces takes some force

You can. It has the attachment to the rails that keep the mattress from moving. I'm 5'2", 104lbs and I can do it. It isn't too hard. The mattress is well worth buying. I would definitely give it 5 stars without hesitation. As a matter of fact I just ordered another one for the futon in my husband's "man cave" basement dungeon. He like the one in the study so he asked to order him one too.

I am not sure, I can move it by myself if it is empty. It is not a heavy piece until I loaded it with stuff. I love it!

Yes! A bed usually can't adjust to the right height for you or the person giving the massages. This table is a bit heavy and I'm still trying to figure out how to put it up by myself. Otherwise this table is wonderful! Extremely comfortable, comes with everything you need for a table and can hold even some of your largest clients! I recommend this over a bed or even a table with a 450 pound limit.

I am a fairly handy do it yourself older female. I purchased this while I was having some work done on my home so I took advantage of an extra person. The assembly is straightforward but it is somewhat awkward to raise alone. Everything is assembled by sliding pieces through slots, so I imagine once it was pulled out of the ground or off the anchors and laid on its side, it would pull apart.

Yes you can, that's one of the best features about it. About 2/3s of the bed will be open when the top is folded on itself.

The information says 40 lbs and the directions say dont't try to move it by yourself. The machine is much heavier in it's shipping carton because it is secured in a metal casing. The good news is that it arrived in perfect condition. That being said, I am a 73 year old woman and had no problem uncrating it and moving it myself.

It's very easy to move. No problem at all. A little background- I'm a 55+ woman - in good shape but not a body builder. I put it together myself and can lift it easily.

My husband put it together and believes you can make that adjustment...however, you would have to take it apart and re-assemble it. He would have to go to my Mom's and check it out to be sure. She doesn't use it in the bedroom, but uses it in her living room by her lift chair. It is very easy for her to move around and is very sturdy.

You need to use a truck dolly easy to move alone . Assembly will be easier with assistance

I believe you can. We have an upholstered headboard that we trapped between the bed and wall and it works great! The frame was super easy to assemble and set-up and I no longer stub my toes!

You will need some sort of foundation. Several things could work. You could put on top of older mattress or a piece of plywood.

Yes you can, but it's quite heavy and doesn't roll easily over carpet. But we have moved it both into and back out of our bedroom and into the family room st the other end of the house. I wouldn't want to do it on a daily basis or by myself though.

my wife has alzheimers and is in a memory care unit. the box spring is sitting by the window. she says she is afraid of falling off the bed. she is comfortable with just the mattress and I agree the board under the mattress is enough. I don!t no about using both but it is no problem she has been using it for seven months that way.

Hardly, Anna. I'm a 66-yr-old woman who can manage the unit just fine. Although, your arm would likely get a little tired if working above your head for very long.

With the help of a second person it would be easy to move. I move it around myself in my daughters room. The construction is sturdy; however I don't know what it would be like to move to a separate floor.

Yes! You sure can. There is a bar running down the middle though so one person couldnt comfortably use the whole cot without the mattress.
