in the last 6 months I've moved 4x for work. I'm about to move again and would like to know if this bed can work as a permanent bed for two months straight.

Cesar, The SoundAsleep Dream series is designed to be a very durable mattress. While the real purpose of any air mattress is to be used on a temporary basis, closer to a couple of times a week or month, this mattress will hold up for the continued 2 month use. Any period of time longer than that and you are likely moving beyond the traditional scope of use for the mattress. We do recommend a few tips for using your air mattress including: 1) fulling inflating and deflating the mattress a couple of times after you receive it to allow the composite material to fully stretch out, 2) topping up the mattress every couple of days with 10 - 15 seconds of air. Topping up a mattress is very simple but you can always go to our website for more information on the process 3) when using the mattress for an extended period of time we encourage people to a sheet or mattress pad. If you have any more questions please call or email support for any time.

I think it will be fine for that...I add a mattress pad and don't feel the grooves

I have been sleeping on an air mattress for years (I will never go back to a regular mattress). Some of them get holes (I have a cat), some have lasted only a month or two, I even got one that leaked when I got it. On average I have to replace a good mattress about once a year. This is one of the best I've seen, but I've only had it a couple of months, we'll see.

With a 2 inch memory foam topper this bed can be used as a permanent bed, without the topper the grooves in the mattress tend to be uncomfortable for some people

We have been using it for about four months in our vacation home. It is a very nice bed. Very comfortable and firm. I wouldn't think twice about it

i slept on an AeroBed for two straight years in college. I would deflate it once a week and lubricate the rubber exhaust seal. Not a single problem the entire time I slept on it. I would expect this one is just as good if you give it a little maintenance now and then.

good bed. I purchased from bed bath and beyond last year and had to return 3 beds in a row. this one is great. easy to unfold and good quality. should be good for months if your careful not to scratch or puncture which is so for any bed. Its very deep and a full sheet set worked fine. I did use a mattress pad for more comfort, I would advise that for two months and for the protection of the mattress.. Great guest bed.

My daughter was in a temporary living situation so instead of going thorugh the trouble of moving her bed she used this as her primary bed for 2 months. She said every few days she would have to top off the air a bit. But this was also in a very cold climate where her room often got very cold, it sat on a hard wood floor in a home with a knee wall so the cold air could get under the floor (No basement). She would turn on a space heater to warm it up. This held air thorugh the night for several nights in a row. I would not recommend using it as a primary bed but it is good for guests or a temporary situation.

For them to replace bed, 30 days is the max, you are out of luck after that. These bed can be found at sporting good stores for the same or less money and no shipping. I would never order this item on line again and the 2nd bed I order developed a leak two and half months later and ended up it the trash.

Not much! I bought the bed in February, and had a problem the first time it was used. I am trying to get a replacement, but not sure if I will. I will post if I do.

I thought the bed was great for two years, then spent the next 9 months in pain in the morning. There is a measurable dip of half an inch in the mattress. Sleep Innovations will do a warranty replacement only if there is greater than 1.5 inch depression. I do not recommend.

I am almost 6' and 165lbs and never had a problem... especially just walking. The machine is perfect for my apartment and I can pack and unpack it easily. My best advice for anyone who is interested is, if you have room for a more permanent machine that you wont move and store consistently then get a better machine. This machine is perfect for those of use who dont have room to leave it assembled and plan to store it constantly then get one. This unit is great for storing until needed... and particularly due to its compact storage capabilities. That said... it was able to keep up with me no problem on any setting; however, it is noisier on higher settings. Still worth it and hope this helps!

I think mijcar has the truth of it. I'm doing a low-budget version of what you describe: I have two of these side by side and the slightly-more expensive rolled futon (from the same company) on top of that. It's very comfortable. I have some movement under the "bedroll" because I'm laying lengthwise on it, but if I understand your plan you intend to be lying "against" the grain, so to speak, widthwise. If so, it should be fine. Actually, once I get a new place with more room I might well do the same thing you suggest. It's a good idea.

I think it was honestly pretty comfortable for two adults, there wasn't any "teeter-totter" effect when one of us would move, but if you plan on using this bed a lot, check out my review for more details.

i think so. its not for everyday use as a bed but its fine for a few nights. its super easy to maintain and the storage below is great! very good value.

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.

Hi, We bought the bed and have been using it for less than a year. It may have sagged a little bit or gotten softer (the difference?) and it feels not as supportive as once it arrived. After rotate the bed, it feels it were the original, it will get softer in 2 weeks, and you have rotate it again. I is still monitoring this to see if the repeated rotation would keep the bed firm as it was. The comfort of your back in the morning is the key indication...Henry

I have not used mine for moving; only storage. If done properly as instructions describe, they hold up quite well. The sealant works and maintains the compact version. The larger sizes hold quite a bit, like a huge thick comforter or two king bed sets. If not sealed properly they will leak air so just do what the instructions say and it should be fine. They are durable enough & have held up well for over a year.

I weigh 240 and it was great for two weeks. Then it started losing air and it would lose so much during the nightit would fold up around me. It's an awesome looking bed but I was probably too heavy. 200 and under would probablybe OK.
1916112
Yes. That would work. It's a little top heavy at first so you might want to put something flat in there for it to sit on. 2nd choice = have me stay there for the month or two and I'll keep it clean. :)

My son slept on it every night for six months when he got his first apartment. Now he uses it for guests. No complaints!

I belive I said it all - the wood is to light and the beams that support mattress will crack or break with a light amount of movment. I mean you do not have to heavy - I mean when you have both beds open the top person must step on the bottom bed to leave. This looks good however it does not wear well at all. If you can see yourself making ajustments - like replacing boads then you can make it stonger. Do not buy the bed if you are not willing to make ajustments.
