Can you fold the cot for storage with the air mattress inflated or do you have to deflate first.?

You should deflate the air mattress first. There'd be no way to store it + the mattress, and I would be concerned about the mattress getting caught in a pinch-point when you folded the cot and then springing a leak.

No! At least, I was unable to accomplish folding it. In my case this was not a big deal as my intention was to keep the futon base in an open, "bed" position, but if you plan on folding up the futon, good luck...and let ME know how you did it

The pump does not deflate the mattress. You have to open the valve and the mattress then deflates. I find that once most of the air is out it you fold it In Thirds and as you roll it for storage the rest of the air is forced out. Keep in mind you have to roll from the end opposite the valve.

No. The frame folds flat against itself. You'll have to have the mattress folded and stored separate from the frame.

Yes, I definitely have to flip the bed and mattress over to fold it. However, I have yet to figure out how to get it 100% back in the zipped bag. I can get it in but not the entire way and I cannot zip it up at all. Otherwise, the bed is awesome!

Not quite. It's a regular bed alright, but it's not compressed into anything, more like in itself. Think of a bread that is forcefully flattened, tightly packed into a plastic bag and rolled into a tube sized shape. It starts fluffing up instantly after unpacking. No manual air inserting needed. Nature takes care of it.

You can inflate & deflate easily with an electric pump. It's so large, you probably wouldn't want to store it inside. Once it's deflated it can fold up to a decent size.

I assume you are using for storage, not travel. This depends on how much air you take out and somewhat how you press on the bag as it is deflated. I deflate the most with blankets, quilts and pillows. I used the small ones for hoodies, and fluffier clothes in the drawer. I did not use for finer clothing. I think certain clothes folded will come out wrinkled. I use them when I travel and manually push out the air, if I gently fold, lay in stack, then slide in bag, roll out air, the clothes come out looking fine. I always select clothes based on wrinkle potential at purchase. I just dont iron unless absolutely necessary. I assume you are using for storage, not travel.

It folds with the cover on- it also comes packaged with the cover on. Can also put a twin fitted over it as well.

No, the mattress is pretty thick and very firm. Not meant to be folded. But boy is that mattress awesome!

Yes you can fold it up flat and it has a fairly thin profile to take with you. The mattress is fairly thin so that the baby doesn't suffocate, but our child didn't like it because of the thinness of the mattress.

well, i don't know if you could store it folded up. but maybe laid out flat? it's really comfy. like a real bed.

I don't know the answer to your question. I use mine every night on my mattress and I've never tried to fold it up. I'm sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

I don't think it would be wise to refold it. Rolling it gently would be better. We will be storing ours as a mattress topper on a bed and then removing it to use on the airbed when guests come. That way it won't compress again. BTW it has now expanded around 1/3 of the perimeter of the bed so I know it will eventually be 100%.

Nope, and you wouldn't want to.The cot is made to attach to the tent with zippers. The tent itself has no floor - the cot is the floor.For much less money you could buy just a tent. And there are no cots that can be attached to this tent without extensive alterations.

Absolutely, it folds into 2 separate cots,easily stored into a closet the width of the cot determines storage.....once again I highly recommend

I would think you could fold it up. Only problem would be if the sleeper could shut with the additional space taken up from the mattress
