Would this be recommended to put on top of the poor-quality dorm mattresses?

I have it on top of the mattress that was donated to me in college 10 years ago (I have no idea how old the mattress actually is but it is at least 10 years old). I was using it as my mattress until last year and it is now my guest bed. I get compliments on how comfy the bed is all of the time! I attribute it to the mattress topper. After my family tried it out, they have all purchased them too! I highly recommend it! If your dorm mattress is terrible- you may want to consider an affordable foam topper that is thick to provide a little more support. This topper adds an amazing plush feeling under your sheets. Deep pockets too so it can accommodate really deep mattresses.

You can put it on any mattress. My husband and I call it "cloud". The feeling is like sleeping on the cloud! His back feels much better since we started using this pad. Highly recommended.

No, because I think one needs a better support system when sleeping. This helped soften the feel of an airbed. I would purchase a new mattress for my child in college and use it for all four years.

It is a very nice mattress cover, but it is not as good as a featherbed to change the feel of a bad mattress. I would not count on it.

Wouldn't see why not. Check sizing of your mattress. Some dorm mattress are sized different then regular mattress.

It's deep enough to fit comfortably on my son's dorm mattress which is 36 x 80 x 7. So you'd have a little extra room but probably (?) not enough to be a problem. Good luck to you.

No, but you might want to put a flat board or a flat something under you mattress

I use it at work for over night shifts. I believe that you could use it as your bed in your dorm. It's comfortable and portable.

My experience with college dorm room mattresses are that they are on the thin side with a plastic finish to facilitate cleaning-they can be slippery for any fitted sheet. These are made for 16" to deep mattresses. However, I would give it a try. You will not find better sheets for the money. If you have a TJ MAXX in your town give them a try. I have bought a lot of inexpensive and superior quality products from them-check the clearance section first. Good luck.

my daughter is in college and her dorm room has a typical dorm mattress, which isn't even as thick as a regular mattress. we put a 1 inch memory foam on top of the mattress and then this mattress pad over it all. The sides were very stretchy and were tight enough to hold it all together.

You may need a base to put it on. I have slats on my son's twin bed which the mattress goes on top of.

No, you might want to look for something softer - this one makes your bed incredibly comfortable, but is too thin to fully change the characteristics of your mattress.

Yes, definitely...just make sure you've got enough slats to support it properly. (BTW, this is a *great* mattress!!)

I seriously doubt if this would help in your situation. We use it on top of our sleep number mattress which is adjustable. We find it extremely comfortable.

I'm not sure why not -- most any solid flat surface should be ok. Of course, if the surface it's on flexes or dips it may have some effect on how the mattress feels and responds to pressure, but I wouldn't think it would necessarily be a "bad" thing to do.

Thanks for reaching out. Candidly, the air mattress - an really any air mattress regardless of brand - is not designed to be used every single day. Once you start using daily for more than a few months issues are likely to arise. The mattress is not designed for that type of daily wear and tear. We would hate to lose you as a customer but always want to be front and tell you when our product is not the right one for you. If you need something every day we strongly encourage you to consider a traditional mattress, not an air mattress, regardless of brand - particularly in a dorm environment.

It's best to use this on top of your mattress. Also, this is sized as a queen. With that being said, I left mine on my stone floor to air out a few days and tried laying on it then. It was still surprisingly comfortable, but if you are not light enough you could be hitting the surface beneath the mattress topper. My advice, get a cheap mattress and place the topper on it.

I think it would be prudent to cover this bed frame with something sturdy before placing an inflatable mattress on top of it.

yes it would but its a bit heavy so I would never put it on the top...I would use a lighter mattress on top

I would give it a go. My brother uses it on his mattress so it's worth a try.
