I am leaving on a trip for 10 months, is this an ideal solution to keep my mattress in a non-ac storage?

I think it's durable enough to protect the mattress well. Just be careful when carrying as it may tear the cover.

I would assume if room was a proper temperature, shouldn't be a problem. Also, mattress buffers. Of course, if in a basement or cold room, could be an issue, I guess.

This mattress is pretty firm and I don't think you'd get it rolled once it's unpacked. It's more like a traditional mattress. You could definitely fold it, but that would be it for storage. It IS high quality and I would definitely recommend it for comfort and durability and quality.

Don't know why you don't want them in the house. I think under beds is a good solution it they fit there. I don't know how temperature effects storage.

It does feel comfortable within 10 minutes! As you see from other posts. the mattress is very bulky and heavy. That's because it is much more foam than air. I do a lot of camping, but I had to cancel my fall camping trip, so I haven't slept on it yet.

Nope, but you don't need to. It doesn't sag over time like normal mattresses.

This easily fits a queen size bed at a hotel leaving their comforter on the bed. I have not used this on an air mattress yet. But we take them to hotels and use them, so we don't have to sleep on their mattress. It works GREAT for this purpose.

I dont think it can be compressed again with household item. So yes, if you are on move, you probably need consider this as conventional mattress.

I would suggest keeping it in the frig if you can't use within six months. That is how I store mine.

If the mattress is not used as a full time rver, I think it would hold up for several years, maybe longer. I'd be sure and rotate the mattress. Louise

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.

All I can tell you is that our mattresses at the hotel are 10 inches deep and they swim in this enclosure. I would think that yours will be a much better fit.

I don't know that it's any cooler, but neither is it hotter. If you have your room temperature set to a cool, comfortable temperature (I like to keep mine about 66 at night, year-round), you should do just fine. I know that many of the foam mattresses/toppers tend to retain heat. I don't believe this one does - at least not to any noticeable extent. On the flipside though, it doesn't seem to dissipate heat any better than you'd find sleeping on a standard mattress. BOTTOM LINE: Temperature-wise, I'd say it's neutral. The benefit comes in the better sleeping surface that contours to your body - a good benefit for the fraction of the cost of a full foam mattress.

No, you'll have to find a way to dispose of your old mattress yourself. Also, the setup is quite easy, if you have a helper. Once you place the mattress and take off the wrap, it will fill with air, and after a few hours you can sleep on it.

We used ours in our RV last summer when it was 104 during the day, and the AC was working extra hard. There were no problems with the mattress holding in the heat. This is our 3rd memory foam mattress, and we have never had a problem with the heat. They are just very comfortable!

It does breathe but it also keeps me very warm in the winter. In the summer I would en up rolling it down and just use bed sheets. We dont have AC though and live in a climate that doesn't get too hot.

I used it for an air mattress for several months. No problem. I might have put a blanket or bedspread under the mattress to be safer, but I don't think that was necessary.
