Can it be stored lying down?

I have always left it upright. Should be a sealed system and can be stored lying down, but I would not.

I don't know if there is an "official" position on this by the manufacturer, but I've stored mine lying down in the back storage space in my SUV since I bought it several years ago. Still works like a champ with no ill effects I've observed.

I replaced my primary battery and so haven't needed to use it for a couple years now.I have been storing it mostly upright, but also on its side from time to time with no apparent problems.

Jean.........Hi!Yes, it can be stored laying down, however to keep it's internal battery fully charged up for use, keep the Booster Pac plugged in to an AC outlet using it's transformer. The internal battery is a small sealed automotive-type unit and will not spill it's acid if stored in a non-vertical position. I've used emergency units like this one for years and they can really come in handy! IF you have any other questions, feel free to call me at: (281) 614-1404. I work on NASA's Int'l. Space Station program so if you call the above number and you get my answering machine, please leave a phone number where I can reach you.

you absolutely could, but make sure you cover it with a nice cover on all sides, to leave it as a cushion by itself would not be a good idea.

I have ours in the loft and store it vertically when not in use, so I think storing it in a closet would be doable.

If you have room to store it, it can be rolled up. You would, of course, need to wrap something around it: bungee cords or straps to keep it rolled. Keep in mind that it's as wide as a twin sized mattress.

Yes, you can store it in a closet. It is very easy to move around. I have even taken it on trips.

I had no problems laying on it just a couple hours after I unboxed it. I don't see any issues with doing so, not really any way you could damage it that way. It decompresses very quickly, and mine was a king size.

I am not sure if it can be used in a laying down position, my brother always had it upright in his semi. He got a new semi that has a built in freezer/fridge. The Coleman Powerchill that I got for him worked fine for about 1 years then quite.

Don't know about storing on side. Mine is on a small dolley. Takes up less room this way and is easy to move.

I have always stored mine rolled up in the stuff sack with no ill effects. Thermarest video (on their web site) also shows it stored this way.

Yes. To store it in the sack it comes in, the cot actually folds legs inward, and then the mattress inserts inside. It is not heavy or hard to assemble and is very comfortable to sleep on. Hope this helps.

Yes. The outside of this storage is soft. I'd recommend a hard shell storage since it can bend your wrap paper. I would have bought another storage system if I had known!!

Yes, you can store this on its side. This is how I store my bottle in the fridge and I have not experienced any trouble.

I don't believe so... It is fully collapsible though. I have never tried to take it apart to store it.

I'm not really sure how easy it would be to store. It came wrapped/compressed in a cardboard box. I'd guess you could fold it & put it in some type of container.

I don't know. I've been using mine since I bought it and have not tried to store it.

As far as I know it would be fine to store it on it's side. Just be careful that it doesn't fall because I am not sure it this would cause it to stop working properly or not since it has the glass surface. It is very slim so it won't take up much space. Hope this helps.

Yes it can be stored.I have once stored from 4 years. In a cool dry place of course.
