Does anybody know how to fold this thing in a way that it can be stored? I just can't get the mattress to fold and fit in properly!

put the two ends (Head/foot) together on the middle foot of the bed and close,

I observed when I bought this cot that I would never be able to get it back in the box or bag. I store the mattress flat under the bed. Then I store the frame folded up. Next time I'll try to store it as recommended.

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.

I have not tried to fold it back up. It now sits in my living room all the time since my bunny plays in it everyday. Jesse actually lays in it and goes to sleep!!

futon mattresses are designed to fold. this one is not. you might make it work if you strapped it down at the fold and at both ends but its 8 inches thick and will only fold with difficulty. i wouldn't try it.

Mine came to me all wrapped tight & expanded big time when I opened it & put it on the bed. I have a double. I can reposition it pretty easy on my bed so I imagine you could fold it up & put some kind of restraint to keep it that way. Or maybe you could stuff it in a space bag & vacuum the air out. Good luck.

You can fold it in half and unfold it easily, but it would be VERY hard to roll it up again because of the springs. An air mattress that is higher off the ground with a built-in pump may be a better choice for you.

The whole mattress is memory foam. It doesn't really "fold up". It came in shrink wrap so it was neatly rolled up. as soon as i started opening the shrink wrap, it started expanding quickly to full size.

I used a recieving blanket and stuck the mattress between it folded in half because its small. You can only use this til 3 months

we watched a video,lol. My husband folds it in half (longways) and starts by grabbing the bottom and cramming it into the storage bag...just keep cramming! don't try to be neat, stuff it and stuff it. It all fits in ! We have done it several times, don't be gently :) good luck !

I'm pretty sure it would be impossible without whatever massive piece of machinery they use to fold it in the first place. It is just like a regular mattress once unfolded. Think of a regular mattress: can you fold it?... no.

We had folded it up when not in use, it seemed to "crinkle" and not work properly the next time until we flattened it out by hand. Hope that helps.

I'm with you! Just did it after fooling around with it for about 30 minutes. Yikes! I was able to get it into it's not "so easy compact design". So follow the directions from the other comment about folding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and then forming two small circles lying on top of each other and use one of the "side pockets" to pull it over the entire thing. Good luck!

I am interested if this will fold horizontally and store under a bed. And how long does it take to fold each time; I don't want to spend 20 minutes setting it up (am hoping for 5 min).

It's a very thick topper that retains it's shape, so don't think it can be folded in. Don't think it should be bunched/crushed up, I would store until needed. Your call.

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 !!!

You can fold it but if you do the leg extension will hit the floor so it must be removed. Even if you fold it: It's not so light and unless you have a big walk-in closet, where will you store it. I found that if it's always up you will use it daily with all the benefits. I use before bed for 5-10 minutes.

Yes, I definitely have to flip the bed and mattress over to fold it. However, I have yet to figure out how to get it 100% back in the zipped bag. I can get it in but not the entire way and I cannot zip it up at all. Otherwise, the bed is awesome!

Just pull it open - it clicks into place. When you are done, just fold it back up. You might have to push a little extra the first time, but it will be fine after that.
