Could this be used as an actual bed for a heavy person for awhile? Or would it give out after a few days?

I wouldn't want to say what heavy is or not but we keep it set up all the time and it's quite good. We have a reoccurring guest (170lbs) who uses it 3-4 days in a row with no complaints. And the kids totally love it because they say the mattress is so comfy. They don't even dent it when they lay on it (90lbs). My husband (220ish) uses it here and there and says it's good but hasn't used it any longer than two nights in a row. If it's transitional or you can't buy a bed right now for someone in the house, I think it's a great option. Way better than an aerobed option -- far better than a couch.

I (150 lbs.) used it for three weeks this autumn and was happy with it, but I think it was beginning to sag just a little the last few days. I'll be using it again for a while after Christmas, and will update if I develop any concerns. It is low to the ground, and a bit narrow, but one gets used to that.

It is a short bed, and might not work for tall people. I am short and heavy set and I felt good on it. I did not spend the night. Bought it for a small person Hope this helps

They are pretty sturdy. We've had ours for a while now and they haven't even sank in the middle like a lot of rollaway beds do. (If that helps any.)

My girls, both approximately 100 lbs., were able to use it for approximately 6 months, every other week. It gave after 6 months.

I would say it depends on how heavy the person is, I would say max weight would be no more than 250lbs. However, speaking from experience we've had members of our family ranging from 190-220lbs sleep on it every night for weeks at a time for use as an actual bed. So, hope this helps!

I'm not sure what your idea of heavy is but I wouldn't go more than 250 lbs. The bed is very sturdy and well made with a good mattress on it which was one of the reasons I bought it. Hope this helps.

Because the bed is low to the ground, I would use it more for a younger person or a child. We had a 200 lb adult lie down on it when we first received and the bed held the weight just fine.

I've used it for 2 weeks so far and it took a little getting used to. I like a very firm bed and it can do this if you blow it up enough. I also used a high quality mattress protector to add comfort.

Mine is used temporarily when I have guests; they find it to be pretty comfortable but I would not use it to replace a permanent bed. I do not think it is suitable as a back support for an extended period.

While we have not performed a "stress test" or applied engineering concepts I am predicting the bed will support 300 lbs (and probably more) easily. My slim 16 year old son uses this bed (6'0" and about 150 lb) however he and his friends (2-3 teens, probably 300-450 lbs) sit on it like a bench while "computer gaming" and the bed is stable. We have cross supports and a layer of press board supporting the mattress.

It's not well constructed whatsoever so 1 sleeping adult and you could have 2 adult sitting on it but I wouldn't count on it lasting very long at all. I used it for 2 weeks and both sides of the metal framing as well as the metal arms that it uses to hold the bed frame that swivel out to turn it into a bed has bent. Total weight that would be on it would be around 400 lbs. at most.It may look well constructed but it is not. All of the welds on EVERYTHING and pretty much shot. Some of them were even welded all the way through the metal which left a hold in the metal..

I wouldn't recommend it as a bed. Maybe occasionally for guest. Everyday use as a bed though and this sofa will start to show wear and tear. It's an excellent value and mine looks and feels great after about 4 months of use but at this price, quality of materials are questionable.

I am 270 lbs. and used it for the 1st time last night at home to test it out ,it held my weight I throw a quilt on it and it still did it do a job on my back. If you are planing to buy bet the extra mattress padding.This was intended as a extra cot for when my family comes to visit but I dont think I could put them throw this torture. I had to spend 1/2 hour under a hot shower and my back is still out of whack.

Probably ok for short term use as a bed although the pad on the bottom of the Pack and Play is not very thick. Also, you would have to lean over a good distance each time you put the infant down.

I would not waste your money on this, I am a bit heavier at 200lbs. but the bed only lasted a couple of months before it would no longer hold air.

I also purchased this bed for company. We used it daily for over a week and had no problems. If it seemed low after a few days of use, we just turned the air pump on for a minute to make it firm again.

It is big and heavy. We broke it down and carried it upstairs in pieces. It took me longer than the directions said it would because I had to undo steps to make others fit. In the long run I expect that will make it a sturdier bed, but you should plan on it taking at least 4 hours. I had my daughter hold some parts in place- an assistant is a really good idea. Overall we are pleased with the bed. The directions are easy enough to follow.

THis is a pretty inert item. Still comfy- no impressions from one 190 lb human and one 125 lb human. It tears very easily but ours hasnt torn. It mostly tears when one is moving it around because it is so heavy.I LOVE mine. getting the more dense 5 lb kind is important- more comfortable and lasts longer.

My husband, who was 280 lbs. when we bought the topper, felt it was too soft/not firm enough. After losing 70 pounds, he now feels it's just right. So I agree with the individual who suggested your son might prefer a more dense/thicker topper. If you can find a denser mattress by this manufacturer, it would be a good purchase. I love our topper, by the way.

I put heavy blankets down for more comfort. If I used it as a bed more, I would get a memory foam in twin for it.

It's an excellent bed for everyday use. I weigh over 200 and I sleep on one every night. I do recommend that you get a firm mattress.

I would not sleep on it, no. Definitely sturdy but not meant to act as the foundation for "bedtime activities"... I mean, like your body weight... get your mind out of the gutter!

It's really not long enough to sleep on but relaxing a bit would be fine. Proceed with caution. Somewhat comfortable but not real cushy.
