Does this bed need a mattress pad or is the top fabric comfortable enough without one?

It's okay for a night, for longer you might want a mattress pad. It is a great spare mattress! It's our second one and I would definitely buy a third!

No I wouldn't get a mattress pad for it. My daughter sleeps on it without any complaints. It is an air mattress so it isn't squishy like a mattress but it does the job just fine.

The top fabric is comfortable enough without a pad. My 15 year old granddaughter had no complaints.

It doesn't really need one. I used one because my 3-year old grandson loved the bed but doesn't always make it thru the night.

We Had A Mattress Pad So We Used It. But I Do NoT Know If You Really Need One. The Top Is A Soft Velvety Top Not Plastic.

I have two aerobeds and I definitely use a mattress pad as they are cold to the bone!

My daughter tends to lay on it without sheets much to my dismay. The fabric is enough to keep you from sweating.

It has both fabric and plastic, plastic should be put on the bottom and fabric at top of mattress next to your body. I don't feel the plastic at all, but I do have a mattress pad on my bed also.

Just the mattress. I have no foundation on it and I haven't noticed any uncomfortableness at all (and I used a rather hard but still comfy matress before)

I agree. 4. Never used it as a bed; have it in g'son's room as extra. Is firm for sitting, comfortable.

A mattress is not included. What is included is a waterproof type pad. Ok to play on as is but I'm not sure I would use it for sleeping purposes.

Not as thick as a regular mattress - maybe half as thick. You don't want it to be too thick though because it needs to bend when you adjust the feet/head. We did have a pneumatic pad on top of the mattress to help prevent bed sores so that added some extra thickness, but even without that it was reasonably comfortable.

It is comfortable as a couch to sleep on, less so as a bed because of the fold. We put an additional pad from ikea on top when guests come.

Absolutely! I bought a memory foam mattress (can't remember the brand) and it is very comfortable without a box spring. I really like the platform.

It has a mat that has a little padding, but it's not an actual mattress. I personally think it's fine :)

I personally don't use a mattress pad, just wipe it clean and let it air dry.

It is a fram no mattress, because it's a platform bed you don't need a box spring just the mattress. You do have to build the bed in comes in pieces with instructions

No to both. You'll need to buy a bed to put it on separately. The mattress is constructed in such a way that it is only meant to be slept on on one side. The top has a pad, the bottom doesn't. Regardless, it is an excellent mattress!

Platform bed should be fine without a box spring for support as long as it is constructed with thick enough wood. The mattress itself provides plenty enough comfort as is, although I did put a quilted cover on mine for a little bonus.

I have had mine 9 - 12 months - and feels like new. I did add a pillow top pad pad - because I have sensative skin - I love it. And mine is on a loft - open slats hold the mattrees up - the gaps are about 4 inches wide - and it is supported just fine. I would suggest a bunk board though and mine is a full double - so no bunk board.

The mattress is simply hard and stays that way. I put a mattress pad on top and that helps. Over all it is quite comfortable but you will need to tweak it a bit.

It is a soft mattress, that allows you to sink in just enough to make for a pleasant rest. If you want it softer, you can always place a down-filled mattress pad on top, although I really think that would be redundant. I highly recommend it for anyone who is not looking specifically for a hard mattress.
