I have trouble picturing how this can be done by one person without lifting - how does one get them under the mattress?

Instal the bottom sheet. Then walk to the top left corner and take the cross strap and fasten the strap on the top left corner of the sheet. then tuck the corner back under the mattress. Then take the other end of the cross strap and walk down the bed and around the bottom of the bed and around the bottom of the bed to the bottom right corner and then pull the right corner out from under the mattress and then snap the clamp on that corner of the sheet and then pull the strap tight with the slide adjustment of the strap and then repeat the same procedure with the other side.

My husband and I took the mattress off the bed and stood it on end. We fitted the cross straps and put the mattress back on the bed. I am happy to report the end of the sheets coming off the mattress.

try clipping one end to the fitted sheet corner at the bottom, then drag the strap along the bottom and other side of the mattress to the diagonal corner opposite and clip there.

I attached it at the head of my mattress and then you just "walk it down under the mattress". By holding onto the end of it and walking to the other end of mattress, it just slides along under the mattress....It slides very easily under the top mattress and is very easy to attach to the opposite bottom corner (the first line of your "X" if you can imagine that). We have a KING size mattress and I was able to attaching both of them, the only lifting was a little at the corner of the mattress to attach the strap to the underneath of the sheet corner.

The elastic straps are not connected in the middle. You slide one diagonally and then the other. The clips work well and they do keep the sheet tight and in place.

Clip it to the top left corner then walk to the end of the bed and kind of drag it under the mattress as you walk to the bottom right corner. It is possible to do on your own but much easier with 2. There are pictures and more descriptive directions on the package.

It is open underneath. Mine has a support leg in the middle on each side. It would not be easy to slide a mattress in and out of under the bed.

Yes it can be done alone, I do it often enough. Just grab one corner, lift so only one is touching the ground and walk it back. At some point one of the other legs will start to drag. From there just set it down and start walking around the tent, and pulling each corner out until they start latching into place. A little more time consuming than when you hae help but not that bad.

No, this isn't a lightweight cot by any stretch, but it is not particularly heavy. Without a mattress, it could be lifted by a single reasonably strong individual (albeit very awkwardly). Moving it with 2 people would be easy. My concern with lifting it by myself would have to do more with the fact it is made of composite wood and lacks much in the way of horizontal support mid-frame, so that if you bump it hard, you could tear out the fasteners at the ends. (Heavier solid wood likely would make for stronger joints.)

I'd suggest putting something under their mattress instead, if anything, try to create an incline. Mine just rolled to the other end of the bed, away from the wedge.

Just lift with your fingers just under the edge on opposite sides. It has to be on opposite sides, or it won't come out.

Hey to be honest is pretty hard. I bought a mattress top. I was planing to buy it anyway cause i have mattres top in all our beds.

It's real easy, I get mom up with ease every morning. Just pull the two spring knobs on each side of the rails and they go down. I slide her over the rail, which is barely below the mattress.

It's hard but I did it myself. You put one end with the string on against the floor then lean on and bend the other end pulling the string around when close enough. Too hard to explain they have videos on YouTube just watch one you will get it

No you cant! Plus its very thin, and not well padded!You will need a mattress pad for underneath!

We also have under-bed storage in our trailer. The mattress is heavier for its size than any other mattress we have owned. That might be why it is so confortable. We are still able to lift the storage compartment lid but it is more difficult. My wife and I lift the lid and prop a piece of 2X4 under it to hold it up while we load/ unload the storage compartment. I am able to lift and hold it alone while the wife grabs something quickly. I am 60 years old in fairly good shape.

It's fairly heavy for one person to lift. But a word of caution: this thing isn't comfortable to sleep on.

Yes, it's very easy. Only takes a minute or two and then you can fold up the mattress and get it into its carry bag without effort!

Use the deflate button and roll each side into the middle and then roll up. Not very heavy and fits under a couchHope this helped. Very study and easy

I can only guess. How it works would kind of depend on how heavy the mattress is and how much pull the person is exerting on the bed assist. My intended use of this device changed from assist into bed to assist out of bed with something to hang onto while standing and transferring into wheelchair. Watching user stand it became evident another device was needed to get into bed and so I purchased a hand "ladder" from Amazon that is made of nylon webbing with 3 handles for the "steps". This goes across the bed and attaches either to the bed frame or, in my instance, I attached it to the bed assist you are asking about and both are working wonderfully. I hope this answers your question. I can only guess. How it works would kind of depend on how heavy the mattress is and how much pull the person is exerting on the bed assist.

I didn't try. Used a non electric pump I had. Also, not using the mattress as it lost air before morning. It was disappointing.

I'm not entirely clear with your question, however, one person of any age would have a difficult time moving this mattress if they were able to do it at all. Also, I wouldn't recommend attempting to move it alone, which you would have to do to put a cover on it. Hope this helps.
