Frequently Asked Questions
How big is it, and will it fit in my kid's room?
How big is it, and will it fit in my kid's room?
It's 79.5 x 45.2 x 22.4 inches — about the footprint of a twin bed, and low enough that they step right in. It sits fine along one wall, and when you need the floor back it deflates into the carry bag it came in. Built for ages 3 to 12.
How hard is it to set up?
How hard is it to set up?
Two minutes, no tools, nothing drilled into your wall. The pump is built in — plug it in, flip the switch and walk away. Drop the mattress in, press the backboard onto the velcro, and you're done.
Is it actually comfortable to sleep on?
Is it actually comfortable to sleep on?
Yes. The mattress lifts out and is finished in soft flocked velvet, not slippery plastic, and the sides are padded all the way around. A regular fitted sheet goes right over it. Most kids stop asking for their old bed after the first night.
Does the hoop come off?
Does the hoop come off?
It does. The backboard is velcro-mounted, so it's an arena on Friday and just a bed on a school night. Takes about five seconds either way.
Is this an official NBA product?
Is this an official NBA product?
No, and we say that upfront. DreamDunk is an independent brand — our colorways are inspired by the cities kids grow up cheering for, which is why you'll see Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Miami rather than any team name or logo. We're not affiliated with, licensed by or endorsed by the NBA or any team.
Three reasons it doesn't end up in the closet
Most of the big things we buy our kids get used hard for a week and then live in a corner. This one keeps getting used because it does three jobs at once — it's the game, it's the hangout and it's where they actually fall asleep.
Set up in two minutes, put away in five
The pump is built into the bed. Plug it in, flip the switch and walk away — by the time you've broken down the box it's standing there full size. No tools, no bolts, nothing drilled into the wall. When you need the floor back, or you're heading to grandma's, it deflates into the carry bag it came in.
The hoop is the whole point
A foam rim and backboard clip onto the top of the ball, so they can lie on their back and keep shooting after the lights go out. On school nights it peels off in about five seconds and it's simply a bed again. That one switch is why bedtime stopped being an argument in our house.
Arena on Friday. Bed on Monday.
Soft so your sleep is elite
The mattress lifts out and is finished in flocked velvet, not slippery plastic, and the padded sides run the whole way around so nobody rolls out at two in the morning. A regular fitted sheet goes straight over it and the printed court still shows at the edges. Four colorways — Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Miami — so they get the one they'd have picked themselves.
