How does it come? I need to get it through a narrow staircase and I would like to know if it is flexible enough to bend it. thank you. Alternatively perhaps I should get 2 twin boxes instead for my queen bed. Thanks for any information.

It comes unassembled in one box. It would be best to put it together in the room it will be used in.

It's very springy--you can bend it as much as you like, but it will return to flat as soon as you let go of it. (Heaven help anyone who is trying to re-wrap it to send it back!) It also has a tendency to slip to one side or the other and require frequent re-positioning, pretty much every time you make the bed. I'm going to try to invent something involving snaps and elastic to keep it in place better. But as far as folding without damage--it might get a crease if it's folded tight, but that will even out in a day or so once it's released.

It's hard but I did it myself. You put one end with the string on against the floor then lean on and bend the other end pulling the string around when close enough. Too hard to explain they have videos on YouTube just watch one you will get it

I can't answer that. Once the mattress attains it's full shape, it is over a foot thick with innersprings. It is very heavy and I don't think it would bend.

Unfortunately I only got to step two and discovered one of the stools was severely bent. This probably happened prior to packing since there was no apparent damage to the box. I returned and requested a refund. I am still looking for stools if you happen across some good sturdy ones :)

Very little bending. It has 4 height adjustments and the top setting was too high for my comfort for a newborn. But would be good for reaching from your bed to get baby out. I still love this crib!

If a drawer under mattress section is hard to open, your bed has not been set to square.I had 2 balky drawers & by adjusting frame, they all now glide easily.

It is flexible, yes. If the angle is too sharp, it may not stay bent without someone on the mattress as it is so lightweight, but the weight of a person should easily contour it to the bed frame. If you let me know at what angles your bed bends, I could test it out for you.

There are little plastic pieces on the edges near the part where it bends up. They are easy to pull up but, the person has to be able to lean down and lift one side and than go to down to the other side of the bed and pull that one also. Hope this helps. Sorry I cant explain it better.

The two legs fold fairly easily - they just swing together - BUT this sucker is heavy!! Not something you willEasily knock down and slide under your bed. It pretty much requires a good hunk of space, but it is very strong and sturdy! Hope that helps!

I currently use this on a queen size bed, but, it really doesn't expand long enough to go from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed. Since I use it to keep my beloved little dachshund, who is very elderly and going blind, from falling off the side, I just put a pillow at the head of the bed and the ramp my husband built butts against the rail at the foot. It definitely does not expand enough for the queen. It would depend on your actual situation and whether you need something completely blocking the length of the bedside. It works great for our situation. Hope this helps.

hi, the 4 ends stick out a good foot from each side. Not a problem as this only weighs 10 pounds and can be pushed in (bent to touch the side of a queen bed. Thats what I did. There is no way to bolt the foot board to a bed frame so beware. 410 761 3366 glenn

It will not bend easily. It's made of (I think) composite cardboard. It's very hard and inflexible.

We have a platform bed, so we were never going to use a box spring, even if it was recommended. We first tried the mattress without any support, other than the wood slats that were attached to the base of the platform bed. It was ok, but my wife wanted to get "bunky boards", because she didn't think we had even support. These hard, thin boards made a huge difference. They are maybe 1.5/2" thick. It's a perfect solution, if you don't want to raise your bed up with a box spring, which I would never use with this mattress. The wood slats on a platform bed would be fine, depending on how they are attached, however. Our slats just don't seem to be sturdy even for some reason. I hope this helps.

Well, it comes unassembled. The box itself is heavy, but not terribly big, if memory serves. I think if you carried it up on the "end" of the box, you might be able to fit it. The other option is to unpack the pieces downstairs, and then carry them up individually. I think that any staircase that a person could fit through, the individual pieces could. Good luck :)

It is simple but keep it in package until you have it where you want it and then after you have mattress out let sit out 2 days flat on bed so it returns to natural shape. I am a women and put it together. It was a little heavy but I was moving it upstairs. Still as nice as the day I got it.

I have two queen size beds. On is the tradional metal frame with a bar in the middle. And I have a wooden bred frame with a bar in the middle also. I have added a bunny board to each bed. On bed has a box springs as well and one doesn't. It works either way and the back support feeling is great. I have no additional bars or internal legs in the frame. If you do it's fine also. The addition and use of the bunny board is the best thing I could do since I have had back surgery and still have a very bad back. It works great and I get a good nights sleep. Go for the bunky bed boards!!
