Could I use this as a permanent bed? I live in a dorm, so portability and comfort is key.

Thanks for reaching out. Candidly, the air mattress - an really any air mattress regardless of brand - is not designed to be used every single day. Once you start using daily for more than a few months issues are likely to arise. The mattress is not designed for that type of daily wear and tear. We would hate to lose you as a customer but always want to be front and tell you when our product is not the right one for you. If you need something every day we strongly encourage you to consider a traditional mattress, not an air mattress, regardless of brand - particularly in a dorm environment.

We use it as a weekend bed for company and they say it is comfortable. So I would say you should have no problem using it in a dorm room as a permanent bed.

I use it at work for over night shifts. I believe that you could use it as your bed in your dorm. It's comfortable and portable.

I use this as an "every night" bed. Its the most comfortable bed ive ever slept on and im 55 yrs old. Mind you i put a 2" (DreamDNA) gel foam pad(FULL size fits perfectly on queen) and a regular mattress pad topper(deep pocket) on top on the QUEEN sized air bed. A PERFECT set up and im actually surprised its so comfortable . I had to top up the air once after 3rd day and maybe im due for a slight add now after 2 months. 100% i would recommend for full time use.

We use this mattress as a permanent bed and find it very comfortable. Still it is not a real mattress and you feel that you are laying on air - so when you get up it feels a little bit shaky like in a rubber boat, but that's just how it is. You are getting used to it and it's way more affordable than a real bed (imagine how easy it is, when you have to another dorm!).

Not sure you would want to. Comfortable to sleep on but needs to have air added everyday. Loses air throughout the night. Just a little but noticeable in the morning.

If the bed is protected from sharp items, there is no reason this bed cannot be used as a regular bed. I would keep the bed near an outlet so it can be topped off every now and then.

As far as I know you can. If you have an adjustable foundation, or if you don't, if you use just the mattress. It should work fine.

You could... but this mattress doesn't need a box spring anyways. I bought a fold up bed frame that you put the mattress on. It only cost like $59.00 and takes a couple of minutes to set up, its light weight and sits up about a foot high so you can store things under the bed. It would look a lot nicer than sleeping directly on the floor. Stay cleaner too.

No I would'nt use this chair as bed. The strukture of the chair is made of hard metal. I can sometimes feel it while sitting too. I use it as a comfortable restingchair for this it is superb.

Yes, that's why we bought them. My daughter has them on her twin XL dorm bed at school. It has square wood legs and the bed weighs an absolute ton. They've been on there since Sept. I think round legs would fit as well. It took two of us to get it set up - one to position the lifts and one to lift an insert bed. You then carefully slide where you want it. It's pretty easy.

Yes, we actually purchased this bed for my daughter to take to college with her. It has a small footprint but bed is big enough for my 18 year old. It also has tons of storage.

Easily, if your bed has about 10 inches under it. Buy some bungee cords to hold it together in one piece, though.

This definitely not a bed you want to be moving around much as it can get awkward to hold and on the heavy side. It also will not store vertically because of the memory foam. You're better getting a trundle bed/daybed set. Hope this helps!

not sure what a "dorm bed" is but i would certainly say that the only place to use this great stand is on something flat, e.g., a desk. trying to balance this on your belly while laying in bed isn't going to work. i use this on a wooden desk top and i love it.

Of course you can. That's how its advertised. I have a memory foam mattress on mine.

while the cot supports adult weight (and is quite comfortable as is) I think a twin mattress would be a clumsy fit and too heavy. Camp cots are low to the ground and not very wide. A more conventional choice for the height and width I think you're looking for would be a roll-away bed in my opinion.

To wrap up everyone else's answers: Yes it can be used as a futon bed mattress, however you won't be able to fold the futon back into a "sitting/couch" position because the mattress is much too thick and heavy.

It would be too difficult for me to do it. The frame is in two sections that are unfolded and bolted together. I don't consider this to be an option for a temporary bed but a frame for a permanent bed.

I wouldn't since it needs electricity to make it so it won't go down and electricity to inflate. It is more as a second bed than a camping one.

i think so. its not for everyday use as a bed but its fine for a few nights. its super easy to maintain and the storage below is great! very good value.

Yes, definitely...just make sure you've got enough slats to support it properly. (BTW, this is a *great* mattress!!)

I bought a king size, so sorry, can't help. Perhaps email the company (manufacturer, not seller) or google the product name for dimensions? Dorm mattress tend not to be too thick, but the extra length may be an issue. I don't know. Sorry.
