If we get this machine, it would be stored in a bedroom, but rolled out and used in the next room. How much of a pain will that be?

This machine is actually pretty compact unlike the older elliptical machines were.... it also has wheels on the back for ease of movement. It really wouldn't be hard to move it .

It is not hard to roll out it has casters but will be a little difficult on carpet

Is the area you're using it in large enough that you could move it to another room, or behind furniture? I don't notice the high-pitch noise so much but the growling motor is pretty loud to me, and so I use it in a central g room where it's not such a nuisance. The low setting volume is better but then it takes longer to dry the room(s). I hope you find a satisfactory solution!

I dont think it can be compressed again with household item. So yes, if you are on move, you probably need consider this as conventional mattress.

Maybe, I think it would be a little cumbersome, but it could be done, my only concern would be the wattage of any other location, than at home... some motels and hotels have only simple capacity for electrical devices and it could be a circuit breaker...

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.

This machine is very large and heavy. We moved it, but it took a couple of people. I ended up giving it to my son who has more room for it.

I would definitely recommend opening it in the room you want the bed to be in. Once you break the seal it starts opening real fast and with lots of force. Almost like an inflatable raft. After that it is very heavy and cumbersome to move as there are no handles or holds.

Yes, you can sit at the edge of your bed with your feet in the machine and lay back on your bed, but I don't think it would be comfortable.

It has some very crude rollers, but they don't work very well. I typically just pick it up to move it from room to room.

Nope! Once it's out of the bag, it's out of the bag and a standard mattress. They must use some very strong machinery to compress it that way.

Probably like an air conditioned room. Definitely not like a refrigerator. So far used only once; it's probably the best choice if no refrigeration is available.

These things are heavy and unwieldy. But 2 people should be able to get it into a cabover bed. I feel sure you would not want to move it every day though.Edit...the more I think about it, I think that is exactly what you are talking about - putting it "down below" for the night and storing it above for the daytime. That certainly is not impossible but you might find it less than desirable.

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). Hope this answers your question.

It's not very heavy, but it's way too big and bulky to be carrying around. Moving it from one room of the house to another would be fine, but it would not be practical to transport anywhere.

I apologize, but I have never put the machine away. It could be very easy to put away, but I know it is very heavy for me- female, 5'4, 140#- to even push across a hardwood floor.

The problem with those is that they originally come "compressed". Once you rip open the bag and the pouch, they inflate to 2.5 time the size and weight, and can't go back. I'm afraid it would be like moving a regular mattress! I had the same problem as you, once, with a king size foam mattress, from a different manufacturer. The master bedroom was on the 2nd floor, and the staircase narrow and sinuous/winding. We had to lift it up thru the outside wall of the house and bring it in thru the window!

The rollers a fine. Given the weight of the machine its tough on carpet. But with hard floors (tile or wood) we were able to move the machine around the room with ease.
