Can it be used for a permanent bed?

Maybe...if the person isn't too large. It has a wonderful foam mattress, but is configured in a sling effect.

Maybe for a small person, or child -- my friends have slept on it for several nights at a time and they don't complain.

For me I had to say no. For any one please try to sleep just two nights. Next morning you can tell how you like it or not.

it would probably be ok for a child but not for an adult. it is a little narrower than a standard single bed

Hi Barbara This is. Pretty strong bed. I haven't slept on it but an adult man has and said it was comfortable. I'm not sure of it would be a great full time bed for an adult. But for sure it would be ok for a child

I wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping in it for any long duration. It was nice for a few nights, but not the support I personally look for in a permanent bed.

Yes, I believe it can. I mostly have it laying flat, except for when I have to move it for cleaning.By the way, in order to make this useable for everyday sleeping, I had to purchase a wool mattress cover that cost more than the Gold Bond futon. Cheers.

Yes! It can be used for storage if you don't put a matress on the drawer/trundle. A great way to store extra blankets, sheets, pillows, etc.

Yes you can. I have just a straight platform under it on my son's bed. Works great

Unfortunately, this is not possible. It was first of all not designed to be used this way, so we can't guarantee you how sturdy this will be. The side pieces are also quite thin and won't be able to support that much weight. Each individual bed can hold up to 250 pounds where the mattress is sitting, not on the side.

Yes this could be used as a platform bed. It doesn't come with slats (obviously) but the bottom portion has a lip where you could let slats sit.

It's meant to be permanent and likely provides a small bit of support for the floor but I'm sure you could not install it in the first place and it wouldn't hurt anything.

Yes you could, but you would have a couple of weird brackets hanging off the end of the bed frame. I am not sure if they are removable.

I don't see why not, but it would make the bed pretty high. It's normal height with just a regular mattress.

I don't know; but, why would someone want to? It looks presentable just the way it is! As long as the user keep it pleasantly clean! My son sleeps on it everyday and every night. Why fold it when he's going to continuously, sit on it throughout the day? He has no complaints. Covered with twin sheet set with matching blanket. To him its as good as a permanent bedroom bed. Until!

I hoped to use this as a permanent bed, but the bed started leaking after less than a month. There were pinhole and larger tears along the seam line. I wrote to Aerobed's parent company Coleman and was told they are not meant for continuous use. Continuous inflation causes stress on the seams which results in tears in the fabric.

I imagine you can because it will sit on top of planks. Functionally it should be fine. I use a mattress only though. You will want to be careful of the total height because it will take away from the look of the headboard. Also, you will need to completely cover the box spring because of how it sits inside the frame. A bed skirt will not work with this frame. Hope this helps. Ryan

I would assume that you can though it is a platform bed so a box spring is unneeded. That said I can't imagine how using a box spring would do any damage though it may not look very good as your box spring would be exposed unless you have a giant fitted sheet or some type of skirt

Yes it can, but it don't hold up well.. Ours broke after a few weeks.. Now it just lays flat like a bed

i am sure it could be attached to a metal bed frame. it is not pre-drilled for it though. you would have to drill it to attach it. i debated about doing that. but i currently just have it against the wall with the frame against it.

It can be used on any bed or surface. I would recommend placing it under the sheet to prevent the intended person from moving it.

IF you are just using it as a bed I don't see why not, if it's folding into a couch, maybe not, matress may be too thick, I think they make memory foam mattresses just for futons though .
