Do you think there would be any problem to leaving it inflated permanently as bedroom furniture? Or do owners only inflate as needed then deflate?

No Problem. I keep it inflated for 5 or 6 weeks on location. Just need to refill it a bit sometimes. Make sure you do not inflate it to much.

I had mine blown up for about 5 weeks at one point. Seems there is some amount of stretch that will happen as it is first used. Meaning I did re-inflate it a couple of times early on, but at some point it appeared to stabilize and no longer require more air. Thats all I know, YMMV

I think it'd be a pain to deflate and inflate every day but inflating it was no trouble really even though it did take a little time to get it to the size I wanted. I have yet to deflate it so I don't know how long that would take.

We have used our for a week at a time several times when the grandkids visit. It maintained its air pressure quite well during that week. I see no reason it could not be used longer periods. If the air pressure dropped, you could always re inflate it as needed. We found ours to be quite comfortable and bought a second one for our winter home to use when two sets of friends visit at the same time.

I had no problems laying on it just a couple hours after I unboxed it. I don't see any issues with doing so, not really any way you could damage it that way. It decompresses very quickly, and mine was a king size.

I would suggest not putting any kind of toys in it, and keeping it indoors... But, we did that with ours and still had to pitch it after a couple weeks due to deflation and mysterious holes that seemed to show up out of nowhere...

I think you would want some type of padding between the frame and the inflatable mattress. Just putting the mattress itself on there wouldn't be an issue, but the added weight of a person could certainly cause issues.

We have no problems deflating the bed. We store it in the bag it came in at the bottom of our closet.

we had it inside originally but it really is too big even for a large basement family room. We deflated it to move it outside and then re inflated. It's been used outside on yard grass and snow with no problems. It's been outside for three weeks now (25 degrees - 45 degree average temp) and has also remained inflated.

I believe so. I bought one a year ago and stored it inflated in my garage. In high temps don't over inflate which is fine since it is rigid at 10 psi. Inflate to about 10-12 psi and it will be fine. Just don't store in sunlight.

I would check the dimensions to see if the mattress would fit. If the size is not an issue, I would definitely go for it. It is a nice mattress and would make a decent guest sleeping area. The only hesitation I would have is this mattress, when folded, is about 13 inches thick, so I don't know if you are thinking of leaving it on the sofa permanently, if so, I'm not sure it will be what you want. I use it as a bed on the floor for my granddaughter when she comes to visit. She does like having her own bed. I hope this is helpful.

Initially I thought it blew itself up on its own. I definitely had to help it along via blowing in the in-valve the first night. Second night it inflated itself better. From what I've read, after it's broken in a bit, it inflates itself almost totally. Either way, I can honestly say it's well worth it even if you have to give it a few extra blows. Extremely comfortable & durable. No kidding, I think I like it better than my own bed!! Lol!!

It is not inflated now, but I agree with the other answers. It is about the same size as a twin bed.

June, I personally have never had to deflate it but I can't foresee that as any problem. Just pull the plug and let it deflate. Inflating it was simple! Hope this helps. P.S.This is still a HUGE favourite with my granddaughter. Can say enough good about this product!

I've deflated the bed several times and had no problems. I put the bed back in the bag that was provided and store in a closet. Hope this helps.

I don't think so when its fully inflated its pretty much flat. Not bendable.u could use it if the futon stays in "bed position".

yes..remember tho.. allow a day or two for the mattress to air out and to "inflate" to it full size.. sleeps very good!

No or at least not easily or convienently. It's a chase lounger that flatens to a bed. If you wanted to store it you would have to remove the cotter pins and bolts that connect the 3 frame pieces and remove the mattress.
