will an air mattress move around or slide off easily?

I don't believe you would have any problems with this, maybe if someone were to be jumping on it or mistreating it, it may not stay in place. The frame is fairly sturdy and could be compared to a regular bed frame.

I wouldn't be as concerned about its movement or sliding, than of the possibility of puncturing or tearing the air mattress. The platform is constructed of solid flat steel bars (with plenty of edges) that will be quite abrasive against any air mattress, once any body weight is upon the air mattress. In short, I wouldn't recommend it.

We don't have a problem with the mattress sliding. It stays pretty well in the fold of the frame.

It sits on your mattress. But the mattress cover fits over both mattresses keeping it in place. I have had no issues with it moving or sliding at all.

It does slide somewhat - I use a fitted twin sheet to secure the pad in place.

They stay put pretty well. I can't see them sliding very easily. We have never had a problem with them moving.

I didn't experience too much sliding around of the pad. But the cot might be too small for you to sleep comfortably. If you note, the width of the cot is about two feet, which is really a very tight and narrow fit, not at all suitable for a comfortable night's sleep with occasional tossing and turning.

No, it slides around, but you could purchase those round rubber stick on dots that would prevent movement. I am sure they can be purchased in any hardware store. Hope this helps.

I have not had any issues with the mattress sliding when in the sofa position. I left my frame unfinished though and it is not as slippery as a urethane finish.

to be honest Devd, I purchased this for use with a Comfortaire Mattress and haven't adjusted it since. It's lightweight and easy to move to clean around. But I genuinely bought it as an alternative to a futon which I never found comfortable. I've been very happy with it.

I leave it on top of a thin, mattress protector, so we never have that issue at all. Without that protector, it moves until the regular sheet is placed over it. Then it's fine, too.

The frame itself does not move while occupied, the "feet" have rubber stoppers attached. If you do not have a frame to put frame into the mattress slides .. there are no stoppers for holding the mattress in place.

I don't think it will slide around. I keep a few things in mine all the time - empty grocery bags, etc. I've never had a problem with sliding.

As soon as My wife saw it we put it on the bed. and have had no problems with it lifting or sliding. I must add that we also have a thick memory foam mattress. and the outer layer is not slippery....hope that helps

I have a Tempurpedic mattress with a 3" topper for a softer feel (a lower density memory foam than the TP) and I had the same problem with the topper moving off the mattress,even with a well fitted mattress pad. Very annoying,until I bought a "no-slip/non-skid" mesh originally used under rugs on hardwood floors. This solved the problem beautifully and the topper has not moved an inch under the mattress pad since. I bought a roll of the stuff from an online futon retailer which promote it used to avoid futons sliding off the frame. Cost total was about $14 incl.shipping.

Sticks well when you put pressure on it, but will slide easy if you want to move it back and forth or forward and backward.

It will move around and that's by design given it sits on a ball point. The only way for it to fall off is by force. You may have gotten a defective unit. I'd return it and try another one if you want. Just make sure you carefully take it out of the package especially the part with the tipHope this helps.

I have not had any problem with it moving. There is a small Velcro strip that helps keep it in place.
