Is it okay to lie on it? I would like to lie on the sofa and put it under my neck or shoulders. Would that work or was it not intended for that?

I find that it's a bit firm and intense to lie flat on it. I find it most comfortable to be reclined about 45 degrees.

I have done that, and it works fine. It has a very powerful motor, and even sitting on it the motor keeps turning (though it is obviously working much harder, and I wouldn't advise letting it work that hard for long). Putting it under your neck and shoulders shouldn't be any problem at all for this unit.

I purchased this item for my mother, who was mostly bedridden. She somehow used to lean to the right (almost laying on her side), I believe it was deliberate, so she could look at the ceiling (?????), so I'd prop a pillow under the arm where she leaned. That being said, I do believe it will help keep you in a sitting position.

I have always used it sitting up. I would think it works best that way, but honestly I don't know about lying down with it. I do think you have to be sortof careful not to overinflate it, as you can easily put too much pressure on your cervical spine.

I think it's pretty accurate. I think the neck pillow looks very good. But when it was placed over the headrest, I felt it was too stiff for me (there was almost no cushion at all). To compensate that you would need to slide down your back rest further behind.

Manufacturer states you are not to sit or lay on it. But my doctor said it was fine for me to lay on it as long as I don't program temperature too high and DONT FALL ASLEEP. The pad needs to CONFORM to your body. I find laying on my foam mattress topper is perfect for my back. Manufacturer wants you to lay it on TOP of your body. My doctor told me they have to say that or people, if they fell asleep could get burned if the digital control malfunctioned for instance. I've been using this pad regularly and it produces very good moisture! I'm happy with this pad. I prefer the control to Thermophore. I own both. I prefer BodyMed controller.

It was 'shrink wrapped' when it came but I think it would be rather large after opening, to be used for this. To be used for a sofa sleeper, I think it would either fold in nicely or 'possibly' make it not close right. I would ask the seller if it were me because it really is comfortable to sleep on.

Yes! You can lay your chest and arm on it. My wife just had a baby and we used it and support her from every angle. A really recommended.

I don't know why you couldn't lie on it or put it against your back while sitting. It would feel lumpy lying down on it, I should think. Usually I have it around my neck and on my shoulders either while standing or sitting. You can also put it around your waist with the heat on your back. You would hold on to the two handles to keep it snug around your low back. Hope this helps. I love this pack.

Yes. I absolutely LOVE this pillow. It's actually my shoulder that I use it on mostly, but it is so flexible in moving it to the area that needs it most. I actually bought a second one so I'd always have one available -- I keep them in the freezer, but they are still soft and pliable, cold, but not TOO cold to stand.

I do not recall. I guess you could lie down with it, but it may make your header neck stick up.

There are springs in one of the Air Dream models that is used for places like a camper bed. The model I have is just the topper, no mattress underneath. I use it on our hide-a-bed sofa as a topper for the slender mattress. You can leave the topper on the mattress after you deflate it and fold the bed back into sofa!

I have never used it lying down and would think that to be very difficult. As long as you can get your feet (or hands) in the pedals then a somewhat reclining position might be okay not sure about that. If you can reach the pedals with your hands or feet then its usable I would think. I sit on a couch, put the ergometer on a table near the front of my couch and place my hands on the pedal stirrups and pedal with my arms. For your feet you can sit on a chair or couch and with the ergometer on the floor pedal around I suppose but I use it not for my legs or with my feet but with my hands for my upper body and love it. Always make sure you are okay to exercise by running it by your doc. Usually I would imagine it would be okay but I'm not a doctor. Good luck and let us know what you do.

Hey Gabriela, looks like that sofa bed was designed for only the cushions that came with it, in the closed position. I know of no way to add the memory foam, and have the sofa bed close correctly. I would just roll up the memory form, and store it else where until it's needed. Not sure if you were able to leave it on the sofa bed, that when the sofa is closed for a long period of time, that the compression of the closed sofa bed, might have some adverse affects on the memory foam.Sorry, wish I could be more help, and good luck!!

And MZ made a comment about this sofa being uncomfortable so I thought I would elaborate just a little more on this point it is a more firm sofa you're not going to sink in and be embraced but the 6 people that have couch surfed and called this a bed have had nothing bad to say about it, some even preferred it over my bed, as someone who hosted a lot of movie/ study nights and used the hell out of this sofa I never had a problem. Mine still looks brand new :)

I do. It is as if you are propped with a large sofa pillow and then a wedge behind that. I have had mine a couple years now and am still very happy with it!

It's not the most comfortable to lie on, the side bolsters aren't shaped for a head to prop on. It's very nice for casual seating and ultra stylish but if your girls going to be kicking you out of the bedroom often it's not the best. The exact dimensions of the flat surface bolster to bolster is 66 inches and 80 inches total end to end. Hope this helps.

I tried all sorts of ways to use it sitting up on all sorts of chairs and couches. I could never get it to work in a way that would relax your neck like it's supposed to. In order for me to get it to stay up, I would have to clench some muscles in my neck.
