How wide are the heating elements? Would it be bad for it to be folded to 28" wide during use? Bed in camper is very narrow.

I would not fold under. If it is to wide let it hang over the side. I use in a semi truck bunk and it fits good.

I really don't know if folding would harm the unit but I (think) you could just wrap around mattress and would not be a problem. there are different sizes just buy the smallest .. these mattress warmer are great !!!

It is strongly advised not to put sharp creases or folds in the pad. the heating elements feels like wires going vertically up and down inside the pad. The pad comes with safety pins you use to pin the pad flat on the mattress by the edges. if you have to tuck the excess padding under the mattress this should be okay as long as there aren't any sharp folds

I don't think it is a good idea to bend the warmer, or any products like heating pads. I would go for a smaller bed by the same maker.Our large one is enough for my Lab (all 77 pounds of her).

It is folded up pretty small, but heavy, in fact we put warm water in it from our washer spigot so we could get the creases out. Also, since we had to install it in the dead of winter we were able to sleep on it right away.

The width would be fine but I would worry about the combined weight of a mattress on the bed plus a person. Remember, the cot is only rated up to a certain weight.

I think it might work for you. My bed has a storahe compartment underneath. The lid/base is hinged in the middle. lifting the lid will raise and fold the mattress maybe close to 90 degrees. Mattress doesn't like to bend that deep but will. I believe the mattress came folded in half - packed in a cardboard box. But yes, it will fold but maybe under protest.

We bought one of these for our camper. We put a regular mattress pad and sheets on it. It is not hot.

It's a little heavy perhaps - we didn't think it was too bad and if you're a seasoned hiker / camper, it won't worry you at all. The size would be the main concern, as it's pretty long, but the legs do fold up nicely to make it far thinner. Hope this helps - we are still using ours, works great, nice quality, we haven't had any issues with it at all.

I no longer have the box the bed came in which had the dimensions. You can probably get them on Coleman's website. I used the bed for the fourth time a week ago and it leaked !!

Depends on hight of your bed frame...about 11" depth folded, but could be squeezed into slightly smaller space

You should have no problem! Mine , when completely folded down is no more than 6 inches thick. I don't know for sure because I have bedding and everything that I put in with it before I folded up. But it really does fold flat. It clips and even has a handle to lift it in and out kind of like a suitcase. Be aware that it might rattle in your car. You might need to add a towel or a blanket or something to help stabilize the sides so that you don't have to listen to it rattle as you drive. I love this kennel for travel. It folds easily and is really really nice.

Hi Jennifer - we haven't experienced excessive heat at all although ours is in Connecticut here there are not many oppressively hot days. The improvement over the mattress that came with our camper cannot be overstated. We just put it on the existing box spring and it expanded just like it was supposed to. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one if we needed one. Best wishes - Rick

That was my issue. The width listed is not of the bed but of the bed plus ladder (while slopes outward). So turned out not to fit. Note that shipping to return this bed can cost as much as the bed itself and the supplier does not cover return shipping. So if you get it and it is the wrong size you either end up paying, say, $500 in return shipping or have to try to sell it on Craigslist, eBay, or similar. I explained my situation to supplier and they were going to try to help me, but then ... no response.

Yes, I purchased one of these so I could make a smaller table for my cab over camper. The one that came stock with the camper is also designed to drop into the seating area and become a bed. It was just to big to be a table. I love having the option of either a large table when I need the extra bed or an nice little 18"x18" table for the majority of time. If you would like me to make a table top for you that would not be a problem. Let me know what your dimensions are, what material you are looking for and also a price range and I am sure I can make something to meet any budget.

I try not to fold mine as it may put too much stress on the heating elements inside. I would just put it under the shoulders and neck and in a towel so that you could use the towel to wrap around and hold it closer to the neck.

I actually worried about the same thing. When folded the legs extend past the iron rest so there is not problem with it being in the way. I love this ironing board. You will need to add a pad as the one that comes with it is very thin and when you look at the same board that is at Bed Bath and Beyond it has a much thicker padded cover. When I added one I was much happier.

I would look for a different width product. This one is only 20"... If you centered it in your 30" space, you'd have 5" on each side that would be unheated. While the heat does spread a little bit, you'd still feel cold spots where there was no wire... it would not spread 5"
