How hard is this in fact to fold and unfold if one is planning on keeping under bed until exercise time?

Well, as I stated in my review, that is the issue I have. It's not just a super quick fold-away. I number of pins need to be pushed in a then some of it needs to be disassembled, then reassembled for your workout. So, in my opinion, it's not something you'd want to be putting under a bed after every workout. It's best to find a place for it where it is always assembled...if that's possible for you. Love it like crazy otherwise!

This is a great treadmill but no it's not the lightest to try and fold up. It can be done but it would be better to set it somewhere and leave it there. When it is folded up it fits rather snugly against a wall. It ends up about 9" out which isn't too gosh awful bad. One thing to make sure of though - make sure you listen for the locking 'click' when you fold it up or you're in for a rude awakening when it falls in the middle of the night. Hope it helps...

Not really, once it's up and functional I would doubt that it would be easy to fold and get out of your way. I keep mine up and use it daily.

No, it isn't foldable, but as others have noted, it's pretty streamlined so it's not a really obtrusive piece of equipment, depending on the room in which you keep it. I ~could~ fit it very comfortably in my bedroom sliding door closet and put extra shoes on it (very handy) but then I wouldn't be using it to work out, like I'm supposed to. I have it near a bedroom bookshelf, and it's really easy to use, but out of the way, too. Depends on how you want to store such equipment.

Super easy! All you do is press the sides in, fold in the arms, fold and move. It can be done in under a minute.

It folds in half and the legs fold down. I usually slide it under my bed. I hope that helps.

No! At least, I was unable to accomplish folding it. In my case this was not a big deal as my intention was to keep the futon base in an open, "bed" position, but if you plan on folding up the futon, good luck...and let ME know how you did it

Hi,It is not hard at all. Once you are laying backward you can pull yourself up to do crunches very easily unless you are very, very impaired. Thanks

It will not fold up completely flat as far as being able to go under a bed if that is what you wanting to do

When I folded it in half to move it, it "puffed up" at the fold (gap in the middle -- it doesn't fold "flat"). You probably COULD z-fold it, but it wouldn't be tidy and it would probably unfold itself unless you piled something on it. I wouldn't expect to store it in your average closet without it taking over the space. As the mattress ages, the cotton batting (stuffing) will break down somewhat, but by the time it does this you'll probably want a new one (just like bed pillows -- once they're fold-able they've broken down and are less supportive and comfortable).

I haven't tried to fold it....it doesn't take up much room at all! The tension is adjustable so it is great for both my husband and myself. It isn't very heavy, but is sturdy...we are very pleased!

It folds easily and it's not too heavy, although a little cumbersome. An average male can move it. If you yank the feet holder off, it's fairly flat, but it won't fit under your bed.

No, it does not fold up. You must keep it as is. I have the one with raised legs, but you might be able to put the one that lays on the floor under a bed. You would have to measure everything. But I like the one with raised legs because it lets me do standing exercises.

I'm pretty sure it would be impossible without whatever massive piece of machinery they use to fold it in the first place. It is just like a regular mattress once unfolded. Think of a regular mattress: can you fold it?... no.

I don't think it is hard to fold or store, but I have hard wood floors so it slides easily. Once folded it is maybe around 8 inches to a foot in depth that it would occupy.

Hello Chelsea, My mattress is quite heavy which made fold up hard but, you've purchased a great steady product. You have to lift the back and kind of pull up on the front at the same time. Stand behind what would be the back and try and lift close to end and pull up on front end while lifting back. Mercy, took lots of practice for me. But trust it's a great futon. YOU CAN DO IT. Best, Loretta

Yes, I definitely have to flip the bed and mattress over to fold it. However, I have yet to figure out how to get it 100% back in the zipped bag. I can get it in but not the entire way and I cannot zip it up at all. Otherwise, the bed is awesome!
