Does that mat fasten down or just lay in the bed? My concern is theft and blowing out.

It is a perfect fit and very heavy. It wont blow out. You definitely could put some sheet metal screws with washers at the ends and corners to prevent theft but I doubt it necessary. I have never bothered with theft and you couldn't blow this one out if you tried.

It lays down. I would not worry about it blowing out but theft could be a concern.

It lays in the bed but is heavy enough that it will not blow out. Theft is a possibility but I now have a retractable bed cover. If you have a new truck, I would risk it as not to spray-coat the bed or put in a bed-liner.

Did you air it out for a couple of days outside by chance? That is what I did in an unrolled, flat state before putting it on the bed.

Yes, the cover comes completely off, both the "pad" and the actual bed. Great product.

My truck has a bedliner and I haven't had any issues with it coming loose. One thing I will caution you on is the clamp assembly has some plastic components. ..be careful when tightening as the plastic part can break. Other than that I've been pretty pleased with it.

The mat just sits on the top, not fastened. The top is smooth. BTW, the mat has a pungent tarry smell even after being aired outside for several days. The lift is great.

I have never had mine slide out. The part that goes into the mattress is pretty long. It also is roughed up some so it stays put. I have a Springfield XDM 9mm 3.8 with a full 19 round clip in mine. Has never fell out... I have seen it pulled out slightly and put it back in but that was probably from mattress shift. Don't be afraid!!!

We love ours too! However we have had casulaties with it too. This is our 3rd now. We feel that that perhaps it must not be tucked in tightly any where. we just leave the blanket on top of the sheets and that spread lays loose over it.The last time it was a problem we just unlugged it and replugged it in and it worked. We feel it must not be confined anywhere on the bed. Hope this helps and we hope ours will last more that one year.

Thats funny, I am about to do the same thing .. I intend on getting 3 ratchet straps, folding it in half (bed side in), putting on a cover and strapping it up. Just dont try and do it too tight so as not to ruin the internals of the mattress.

No they do not fasten. There are lots of little grips on the bottom of the mat that hold it in place. I've had mine for about 6 months now and have not had any problems with them sliding or shifting.

It is well installed with a lot of Velcro. It has four separate pieces all put together with concealed zippers. It would not be that easy to steal in my opinion. The previous answer concerning the tie downs is also a barrier to theft. My bedrug is attached under those tie downs which would require tools to steal.

The fabric the mat lays in has some grip so the mat does not easily shift off. Also the optional sheets sized for the bed will fit over the tubular frame rails and further hold the mattress on.

It works nicely for keeping the blankets off your feet. Its stable and doesn't move after it is placed between the mattress and the box spring. only issue I had with it was taking it out every day to make the bed!

I keep the plastic insert that comes with the board and reroll it onto that each time. If I don't the roll may get smashed Causing folds to form in the mat. Then I'd never get it to lay flat again.

I totally agree with Pomaikai. I keep the mat in the laundry room, but my main entrance door is like yours, so I put the mat in front of it just to try and see how it works. It goes well. If the mat would have been 1mm thicker, the door would have caught it. Good luck!

It doesn't really break down, unless you are fully taking it apart. I have several of these that I just pile on top of each other and then slide them behind my clothes in the closet to keep them out of the way.

If you anchor it to your bed, the side next to the bed should be rolled down permanently. So, when you're in bed, you just reach over and pick up your baby. You shouldn't be rolling up and down the side each time.
