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.

Hi there, I returned the product because it was oddly a few inches too narrow for my queen bed. I don't recall the thickness, but overall thought it world be better just to buy a nicer bed than to bandaid with something that didn't fit correctly. It sounds like I may have gotten a defective one based on the other reviews.

You have to really bend to join the panels. I called up the company because I did not want to break it but they told me it won't break if you bend then slide it in. Easier if you have another person to help. Good luck. I hope I help.

Yours may be defective. Or you may be expecting too much bend. I don't even think of it as bending, but rather as being flexible. You're not going to get a 45 degree angle if that's what you need. I just looked at mine, and the most I get is about 10 or15 degrees from vertical before it just picks up off the floor. It's more a matter of better traction because you have three contact points instead of just one and a little "play" to keep you steadier. I don't know if that makes any sense at all. I still love mine. I thought I would change back to the ordinary tip for summer, but I haven't. This one adds just a snudge more security.

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.

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.

Yeah it came in a single package and the delivery guys brought it into my apartment. I don't know how wide is your staircase. But it came through my apartment door. Guess I answered your question.

Our bed is 2 1/2 yrs old and there have been no problems. There is a drawer on each side of the platform of the full/queen, 19 3/16" x 29 7/8" x 4 3/16". You do not need a box spring. Some people have had problems with the mattress sliding. I put a couple of pieces of that stuff you use to keep rugs from sliding under the mattress. Works like a charm! I weigh 234 lbs, my husband is about 180 and we are restless sleepers. With the matching headboard (http://www.amazon.com/South-Shore-Step-Headboard-Black/dp/B00DSQ0VXE/ref=sr_1_114_m?s=home-garden&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1401252521&s;r=1-114) it looks great. I love my bed!

I assembled it up stairs, only to bring it down after two days.. It folds and wasn't terrible to bring back down.. My help was very strong.. The reason for bringing it back down.. Unless your upstairs is solid and sturdy the entire room and room below were taking a beating.. Downstairs is a finished basement, cement under carpet.. Was a much better fit. Good luck.

I am using a slatted base and it works fine. I was worried about the foam bending through the slats, but it has not. I should also mention that I kept a clean piece of cardboard from the interior of the box that the mattress shipped in, and put this piece of cardboard under where our bodies go. It seems to have done the trick - and for free!

It all came in one big box and was heavy. We live on the top floor of a walk-up apartment and decided that opening it and bringing it up piece by piece was best. It looks fantastic and we're really please with it. Good luck!

I had the exact same problem and that's why I couldn't get a box spring up my stairs. This bed comes completely apart and fit up a very narrow stair case. Honestly I will hate taking it apart and having to move all the pieces but it did the job getting my mattress off the floor.

It does bend a little, I was able to get it in and out of different doorways in my house while still inflated, but I don't think you can bend it lengthwise very well.

It comes in several heavy boxes. You may want to unpack boxes and move pieces around tight corners after removing from box. I did that and had no problem. The two long pieces can be moved around corners the same way you would move a 2x4 around a corner. I assembled it by myself and it took 45 minutes or so. It looks good and I really like it.

It fits inside my daughters queen sized sleigh bed. We moved and due to the slant of our stair case the movers could not get her queen sized box spring up the stairs but the mattress which bends unlike the box spring did fit. This item actually sits inside her current sleigh bed frame (four wooden parts) and replaced the need for the box spring because of the height the mattress actually sits on top of platform. It eliminates the need for both the box spring which was too large to fit up the stair case due to an awkward slant and the traditional metal frames/wood slats that would normally support the box spring and mattress. What we essentially have is a queen sleigh bed, with this product sitting inside it, and the mattress on top.

you'll be able to get it up the stairs no problem. make sure you have it next to your bed frame, when you cut the packaging it's going to expand quickly

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.
