TheFourofUs...glad to know that you like the raised bed. I wonder how well they work...if they jiggle around alot when you turn over, etc. Were they on sale at BB&B...did you use a coupon?
They have stabilizers of a sort on the edges - these chambers shaped like a pool "Noodle", that stick out about 4-6 inches on both sides, to help. They jiggle a bit if you fill it completely, but what with my "Select Comfort" bed, I know to fill it most of the way, then lie on it to fill it the rest of the way. If you really TRY to swing it back and forth, yes, but my father in law, who is a "pooh sized" guy, said it was as comfortable as any bed he's slept in, he was surprised.
No, no coupon, I didn't even know about my local store (new) until someone mentioned it - they are still there, on sale for thirty percent off - so the regular queen which elsewhere is $299, was $209. I know that sounds like alot, but what with the in-laws coming back to New England from FL every now and again, I needed something like this, and it's cheaper and easier than adding on a guest room. However, ALL the mattresses, flat or raised, all sizes, are still on sale that price as of yesterday.
The twin is easy to carry - the QUEEN, my GOD it's heavy, it's a "Hubby you carry that one" type bag. *wink* However, it packs up into a duffel bag easily, space wise it's awesome, takes up half a shelf in the linen closet, that's it. When you see how HUGE it is blown up, you'd never believe it! But it's very heavy duty vinyl, so it's very HEAVY.
