Can I use it with an aerobed inflatable mattress? I'm concerned about sharp edges or springs that might come in contact with the inflated mattress.

I think you would want some type of padding between the frame and the inflatable mattress. Just putting the mattress itself on there wouldn't be an issue, but the added weight of a person could certainly cause issues.

There are not any sharp edges But there are bars so I don't know if an inflated mattress would work very well

I don't feel anything that is worrisome to me but I would still use a safety layer of cardboard, canvas, or perhaps bubble wrap and listen for a "pop". :-)

I tried to inflate it with an air compressor i usually use for tires & it worked a little but the hose was not the same size as the inflation valve so I could not get a good seal going on & ended up finishing blowing the thing up the old fashioned way (with my own hot air) while making a mental note to purchase an air pump made for air mattresses. I. Have 2 of these air mattresses & they have held up very well through several camping trips & sleepovers with kids jumping on them.

No. The mattress is encased in a cotton wrap. Any intentional damage (cutting) would negate your warranty.

Yes, I have a queen air mattress I use with it.. Only thing is if you can inflate it in side of the tent

I don't see why you couldn't use it, providing the Air Mattress could bend a little where the frame raises or lift, because I'm using my regular Sealy Mattress from my older bed, and it works fine.

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

It could Terence, however, it has a cover on it so when you are done cutting it...the cover might not fit so tightly. You would need something very sturdy and sharp to be able to cut the foam. This is a great gel foam mattress and has firm support. I prefer a little less support..but it's well worth the money. I bought it because it already had a cover on it, which you too would probably want knowing that you are putting it in an RV. Mine didn't have a smell either...and it came up to consistency within 48 hrs after unpacking!

I have 3 of these. I would use a layer of the cheaper foam or cardboard before adding the air mattress. Depending on what your air mattress is made of.

I bought DHP 8-Inch Independently-Encased Coil Premium Futon Mattress, Full Size on September of 2011. I love it. I have it on a wooden futon frame and have had no problems. If your frame is built for futons, you shouldn't have any problem. :D

We use a 8" foam mattress and it works fine. It looks like a thicker mattress would work. I am skeptical that a coil spring mattress of normal thickness would be flexible enough to work well.

If you used a heated pad it would make the mattress really soft where it was heated and would not work so well for support. I do not know if it would damage it but it would be hesitant to try it.

A bare air mattress is highly susceptible to the tiniest poke or scratch. Even a little grain of sand on your floor can pop an air mattress. Most important thing you can do is wrap it completely with a blanket, to avoid having to patch holes every week. Plus, that'll make it more comfortable.The negative reviews with all the horror stories are discouraging, but mine has held-up well for the 3 years I've had it.

Personally I would not try this. I had difficulty encasing the mattress and the zipper ripped. Now knowing how fragile the cover is I don't think it is a good idea to try to stretch it over a box spring .

Yes, you can. However, I would not recommend that you do. The frame would not be able to close completely and you night damage the air mattress.

My 7 year old uses this bed with a foam mattress and we have had no issues. Are you concerned about being able to feel the bars? because you can not.

If your air mattress is a standard size queen (60" x 80) it will fit. There are small brackets to hold mattress in place and there are no sharp edges or protrusions to cause a puncture. It folds flat so it travels well.

I put this in my RV and I love it. But it's a short mattress I don't know how well it would work over a normal length box spring. That could be a problem.
