I got this for summer days road trips. I bring this along with me or leave it in my sister house so when I visit I have full size bed to sleep in. I share this bed with my child when away. Or fold it into a twin bed, I like that I have options.This is by far so much better than a air bed for me. I have back problems so this works for me better than a air bed. It folds away ,easy carring handles also could be stripped to washed. Big plus for me! Although I do use a fitted sheet on it. It also great to use as a extra twin bed for out of town visitor or when your child sneak into your room too.It really comes in handy and so easy to maintain. I love it.
