I've read that the pad is very thin and not very comfortable, that they tend to roll towards the middle. Have any of you experienced this? I'm think

The pad for the bottom is thin but not uncomfortably so from how often the twins lay on it. As they got bigger the issue with them rolling towards the middle was seen but not in a huge amount and honestly it could be easily solved with a brace if needed. All in all we were happy with the purchase.

Honestly, pick some other pad, specially if you are going out if country and it'll be hard to return. It WILL stop working on you, IF it ever works at all. I'm dead serious, find something else.

I just keep buying the pads when the sand paper goes flying. I think I am on my 3rd one. They most certainly do not hold up. Good luck finding one that lasts.. Janice

Hello all,As a seller of these pads we recommend that you wash and dry them prior to use. They will fluff up once put through a cycle which will help with some of the minor issues you might have. Thank you all for your purchases. We truly appreciate your business.

I have not had that happen and my Mom is on these pads 24 hours a day!!! They are thick and soft. Now I do change my Mom's pad 4-6 times in a 24 hour shift so they do not sit under her for days. They seem durable- I doubt one pad would be good for weeks but I think it would last several days of just sitting or laying around on it.

No. I have not had that problem. You might try a very small amount of WD-50 between the pad and the roller.

The Big Agnes air mattress I had was comfortable but terrible slick. I spent half the night sliding around. Much better to get a Thermarest sleeping pad. It's bulkier when rolled up but much more comfortable, especially on a concrete floor. Go with a Thermarest pad!!

Mine do not have a bumpy side; they are texturally identical on all sides. Perhaps you have a different version?

I have noticed the pad is warmer on the bottom than the top. I tried turning it over with the same results. My only conclusion is the pad gets warmer when the animal is laying on it. As for the coils, did you inflate the pad? I personally haven't sat on mine, but my orange cat seems to find it quite comfortable.

I've had 2 of these pads, and with both of them I lean against them. I have laid on them on occasion, and they worked, but I found it a little uncomfortable because of the coils. However, I sit up against one every day for hours at a time, and it always works. I pile pillows behind me, and place the heating pad between me and the pillows. I get plenty of moist heat, to the point that the shirt on my back gets gets damp. HTH

that is a good question. maybe because the plastic is super thick? but the seller will definitely answer if you ask them. they contacted me before i had received my pad. i wish you luck.

Mine rest and take weight, but I'm not sure if you would have any problems, I'm short. The pads are comfortable, really comfortable, and the weight seems to distribute evenly. It's very stable. I hope this helps.

I don't use them. I have seen them. I bought these for my Mom. I would say NO, they are like a huge pad.

I guess there is somewhat of a firmness issue. The area around my hips and shoulders I have noticed that the padding tends to move away and has to be fluffed. However I have to admit I don't know if that is normal or not because this is the first time I have ever owned a futon . . I hope my comments were helpful

I found that if the pads are not making sticking great you get a shock. When that starts I usually tape them down with medical tape (I use the type for sensitive skin). This has caused me to look for better pads. I found healthmateforever are better than no name

Jack makes a good point. When I started using mine I kind of had to find the feel for it and pushing your weight forward on the waist pad (while keeping your back straight) helps a little too. It's kind of like moonwalking in place hence his tip on not picking your foot up, just the heel.

My tub is smooth but it seems to me that the pad needs to have a lot of surface to grab onto. If you put it on a textured surface, I think it might not stay down as long. I have discovered that you need to keep it clean: soap scum makes it less non-skid.
