KidsHappen Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 for sleepovers. The problem is that I have no place to store it, that is easy to get to, when it is not in use. It will fit in one of the very large plastic bins with a snap on lid but I don't have any place to put that either. Where do you store items like that?

Paige Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 You don't want to store it on your bed? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 You don't want to store it on your bed? :tongue_smilie: No, it has five channels on it. So if you want to sleep perfectly in the middle of your spot on the bed it is great but if you want to snuggle there is a full channel that makes a mound in the middle of the bed which just stacks on the mound we already have there so that it is impossible to sleep in that spot. Plus I guess it is too soft for me so I wake up sore all over. So I just use it to make a pallet for the girls in the loft when they have sleepovers. I cover it with a king size flannel sheet (so the sleeping bags don't slip around) and then sleeping bags so they have a nice fluffy place to sleep instead of the hard floor. Then they each use their own pillow and blanket. Works great for that. It's just a pain to store. I think that I will have to clear out enough space in the attic for a bin. I also tried a gel topper and a temperpedic topper. None of them worked for me. I ended up buying a very firm regular mattress and it is much better. I also sleep with a cold pack under me at night and I never wake up sore anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Is there room in the loft to use the bin as a small table? You could throw a pretty piece of fabric over it to disguise it. Or maybe a pretty cedar chest that could double as a table/bench & storage. I would hate to have to drag it from the attic. At my house, getting in the attic isn't convenient or easy - plus it's HOT up there 9 months out of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idnib Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Can you store it under the bed, flatter but wider than when it's in a bin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I was just wondering this the other day as I have two queen down mattresses I use for the children on certain occasions. I am considering the "space bag" route (if they make one big enough) and sucking all the air out of it. Let me know if you find a good solution--since I'm right there with 'ya.
