Technically, yes! the BedBox™ should be stowed during the periods of turbulence and this is easily done by putting it under the seat in front. However, this depends on the severity of the turbulence and the crew's instructions about this. Not in all cases of turbulence will you be required to stow luggage and comfort devices and this applies as well for the BedBox™.
In any case, we recommend your child has the seatbelt fastened to guarantee safety when unexpected turbulence occurs. This is possible while using the bed feature of the BedBox™ and even if the child is laying down sleeping 

The BedBox™ is indeed delivered to you ''plain'' but it includes a set of stickers for your child to decorate it with.

You can choose to decorate it or not, and even remove the stickers at any point if you change your mind. This won't leave any trace or residue on the case.
