is it a regular bed but compressed into a small bag tube thing?

It is a regular mattress, with coil springs inside and a foam covering over the springs, but for packing they rolling it into a tightly compressed cylinder shape that is held compressed with some type of shrink wrap, and then placed into a heavy duty canvas-type nylon bag. When I opened it the mattress starts expanding fast, in fact, just be aware that when I cut the plastic it popped open so fast it almost knocked me over. But, it is impressive and the mattress has been great.

Not quite. It's a regular bed alright, but it's not compressed into anything, more like in itself. Think of a bread that is forcefully flattened, tightly packed into a plastic bag and rolled into a tube sized shape. It starts fluffing up instantly after unpacking. No manual air inserting needed. Nature takes care of it.

Yes it is a full size mattress that comes compressed but quickly returns to its normal size.

yes when it is shipped it is compressed, but when you open it, it pops out and fills in.

Yes, it is essentially a large, heavy duty bag for the mattress; for storing or moving purposes, etc. We used ours for storage and was able to use packing tape to seal up the opening. Worked great. Hope this helps.

No it does not come compressed. It comes just as though you purchased it at the store!

Yes, it compresses and rolls into the sack it comes with making it much smaller. I simply clipped mine to the outside of my carry on backpack.

We are able to get the bed back in the bag that came with it. About the size of a sleeping bag rolled up.

No, is very small. Is possible only for the sleeping bag and one pair of shirts.

It is not. The bed is not bad. I bought two of them on special, two for $25 with shipping. I would have been upset if I paid more. The have not held their shape very well, I have a 12 pound and a 20 pound dog using them. Hope this helps.

Yes... if the sleeping bag was in a compression sack, the tent was small, and you didn't need to fit much else in there.

No, the cushion is one piece which comes compressed in a vacuum bag. Once you unseal the bag the mattress fills out and looks like a futon mattress. The mattress fits inside of the outer cover fabric.

It is compressed. The box it comes in easily fits through a doorway and up stairs. It's wrapped in plastic in a roll, inside a box. Although the box is heavy and awkward. I ordered a king. After unrolling the plastic, it is still compressed in a bag that is about the size of a twin mattress.

Yes it is. So it can also be used as a warm compress. The directions are on the front of the pack.

No. Once it is opened up and expands to it's real size, it would be hard to compress in a fold away bed.

no this is a regular matress, I don't know how they got it vacuum sealed in the first place

Yes. It comes in a bag. You roll it tightly and it takes up very little space.

Mine is packed away at the moment but I think Lumpy has it about right........it's definitely smaller than a queen and that is why I like it in my small tent.One tip.......do NOT sleep with your head at the release valve end, I did this and much of the air leaked out in the night and I found myself sleeping on the ground. We woke up at 2:30 am, re-inflated, flipped our sleeping bags and all is well again.It's a very comfortable mattress but I spent way too much time inflating it this time and I don't know why. I am thinking a pump will make it faster.

No. But it makes into a full bed by lying down the back. It's comfortable! And handy

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.
