do you set up the mattress or bring it to the room?

it needs time to expand. its best to bring it to the room and place it where you want it, then let it expand.

mattress should be set up in another room, as it needs to inflate it self, it takes up to a week to do it. Bob

Bring it. Takes less space & no worry about bed bugs in a stored cot. Maybe it could be used as a floaty too? If hotel allows

You can use it either way. I used it alone and when I changed cribs I used both.

I use a regular twin matress. I even put a twin mattress on the bottom so it was more like bunk beds and softer to sit on in the fort.

We initially set it up with the bed pulled out. When we put it up into futon mode (or the couch kind of position) it was only a few inches from the wall and we leave it there so that we can use the bed when needed without moving the entire unit.

You should use a box spring or bed frame with the mattress. Allow for 48 hours for all the cells in the mattress to be exposed to the air before use as well.

Both the futon mattress and the twin mattress need to be brought separate. But I love this bed. The wood is beautiful, and ours came with the ability to make a bottom bunk if desired over a futon.

Turn bed upside down fold in legs,place mattress in half on upside down bed, fold bed and latch. Place back into storage case. I take the bed out at least once a month and put it away the same each time with no issues.

Nothing but the mattress. You will need a box spring or some type of platform to place the mattress on it if you want it up at normal bed height.

I use my futon as a couch in the day and a bed at night. Everyday I do fold it into a couch. It is very difficult if doing so with the mattress on the frame, but has been getting easier. I'm not sure if the mattress is getting softer or if I'm just getting used to it.

Hello! I'm not sure if its necessary or not but I did wait and I still love the mattress. I have it in my houseboat so waiting wasn't an issue. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

You can place a mattress directly on top of the frame. You can even use a bedskirt in between the frame and the mattress for a nicer look.

Your right, once you open it turn it upside down and put the mattress on and you are all set.

I have the queen size, & no, the item lays on the top of the mattress. I hold it in place by putting the fitted sheet over it.

The mattress isn't attached to the frame, if that answers your question. Besides taking the mattress off and putting it on the floor, is there a reason to "turn [the legs] flat"?

Make the room a little cooler wherever the mattress is. It's a trick I learned when I got tempurpedic.
