This is a great product, but the built-in air pump makes it tough to fold back up for storage. Any recommendations?

We don't have any problem with it. Just roll the cord around your hand and stuff it back in its place. Then the bed folds up just like new, and we keep it in its bag. We also just deflate, push the cord in, fold lengthwise in thirds, then fold toward to pump end.

I've had no trouble folding it back into the carrying bag supplied if, after fully deflating, I fold it lengthwise in thirds. Then I just roll or fold it up to the pump end.

Same as what Evan S. said.... a small air pump like you'd use on an air mattress works great on this! It's an AWESOME cooler float but it would take a long time to be blown up by mouth :-)

Answer to the question. Unfortunetly it does not fold for storage you need to take it apart.

It does fold quite easily but it's not something we do often - only when cleaning. I'm not sure how reliable the folding mechanism is for continued folded storage. It is a wonderful treadmill that we have had for about three years. Good luck!

It does not fold easily, the factory uses a machine to fold for shipping. For something you put away nightly I would get an aerobed, I have one that I slept on for 2 years, it's really comfy and super easy to store away in a small space. Hopefully this helps.

Very honestly I would recommend finding a spot and not folding it up as it is a bit difficult to set up to begin with. Just my opinion, it does require a good bit of strength to fold out and fold up again. My second recommendation would be to have someone to help you. Franklin

You can inflate & deflate easily with an electric pump. It's so large, you probably wouldn't want to store it inside. Once it's deflated it can fold up to a decent size.

No it is not big enough I think. It is also extremely difficult to fold back:) took us a while to manage

the only issue to me, is the snap. Its kind of a distraction when unit is opened. You can fold it under though.

Your right, having the pump would help!! We got this for our daughter for Christmas and my husband decided to I to the local air pump to blow ours up. I wouldn't recommend it as needless to say he exploded ours by over inflation and she never got to use it!! I would try a bicycle tire pump you can control or ask someone for those regular foot pumps ;)

We have an air pump that inflates and also deflates the WOW so it is easy. When deflated we fold it and it is about 2' by 2' by 1 1/2'.We use it on a lake so take it out and put it on the dock each evening which is really easy compared to some inflatables we have had.I purchased my first one last year and added a second one this year. Our guests have loved using it.

Once the cart is assembled ( is not the easiest assembly either ) it is very hard to fold the cart back down. Perhaps others had more luck. I would recommend this cart for your dogs to ride in comfort around the neighborhood but it would be tough to travel with. .

It does fold for storage. It has a clip to keep it closed but I can't get it to stay clipped. It may be operator error.

I am just a consumer, and have not tried this, but I would guess that it would fold ok (it's pretty soft); although, I don't know how keeping it stored that way for extended period of time would would impact the quality. I guess you could do a good shake-out when you pull it back out. good idea though!

I would reccomend getting a vacuum saver bag if thats the case. It doesnt fold up very small, but the vacuum saver bag should compress it down for easy storage. Just remember to give it a few hours to reexpand before using

Wouldn't be easy as its vacuum sealed when shipped . You could fold it but it wouldn't be small .

maybe but would need tape to keep air going in good - air bed inflater is best for around 10 buck because it deflates the bed also so there is no air in it when folding to put away
