Test result preview
Today we have comprehensively tested the folding mattress for children & adults from maxVitalis. When examining the sleeping comfort, we found that the 9 cm thick mattress may not be sufficient for heavier adults, but is comfortable for children. The cleaning effort could be increased as the cover cannot be changed. Storage is easy thanks to the folding function, although there is no special bag available. The range of 4 different variants offers an attractive choice for customers; the design variant with a road for toy cars was found particularly appealing. The functionality of the folding mattress is high, which is characterized by long-lasting quality. In terms of shipping, the box was rated as stable, which ensures sufficient product safety.

On the Amazon platform, consumers give the maxVitalis folding mattress for children & adults an average of 4.6 stars. Customers occasionally complain that the mattress is too thin for adults to sleep on. Nevertheless, the versatility of the product is praised, especially the possibility of using it as an armchair with a backrest. In our own practical test, we confirmed the comfort for children and the practical use as seating furniture. However, the thickness of the mattress could be improved for the sleeping comfort of adults.
