Inflatable Bed Reviews

I bought this bed for my 3 year old for travel/vacations. He had been using a toddler travel bed, but he would roll over the sides of it and end up on the floor. This bed blows up within a minute with the electric pump (enclosed) and is a breeze to deflate. This bed comes with a cover, so your child isn't laying on plastic. The cover comes off for easy washing. This bed will take standard twin sheets, so no expense of buying special sheets. My son loves it so much that he will ask to sleep in this instead of his regular bed.

I wasn't so sure if I'd like my AeroBed. I ordered it because I needed an additional bed at home and I didn't have space for another bed, and I didn't want to get a sleeper sofa.

I expected some fairly cheap manufacture and inflated [pardon the pun] claims about its useabilty. Well, I was surprised.

The unit is very well made. They've got that down. The seams are sturdy, the material is thick, and the pump and valve are first-rate. What more could you ask?

I'm now a fan of the bed. I'd recommend it. Aero also sells a bunch of accessories on their website such as collapsible bed stands to get the inflatable mattress off the floor; inflatable pillows, etc.

I think you'll be pleased that it's not cheaply made. I was.

We bought the raised queen size bed three years ago to accommodate visiting relatives. Granted, it was an older model that the model offered herein. The concept was and still is great...a modern version of the venerable air mattress only without the glacial,agonizing inflation or the instability. The pump is quick and quiet and you can roll over in your sleep without that sickening man overboard feeling.

BUT the problem with this product is duability. Our experience in the past year has been that the seams begin to pull apart regardless if you use it a little or a lot. We used it little and have experienced subtle, then rapid failure, culminating in relatives unexpectantly having to sleep on the couch this Christmas. Of course the warranty has expired so we have no recourse. If you like spending $200 for a year or two of sporatic use, then by all means order the AeroBed. But if you need to rely on a spare mattress down the road, you should invest in another product. We wish we did.

Very few items come exactly as advertised. This one does. The bed takes only a minute to fully inflate, and seconds to deflate. It fits easily in it's storage bag (this is the first thing I've ever owned which actually fits into its case- I have about a thousand umbrella covers that no longer fit any umbrella) ANd most of all, the bed is very comfortable! I just wiah I had a little tiny nightstand to put next to it!

This does exactly what it says - inflates and deflates quickly and easily, doesn't lose air pressure overnight, adjusts easily, rolls up small for storage. What more can you ask?

I ordered the Queen sized pillowtop AeroBed and should have saved my money and bought a sleeping bag instead. We took this bed to my parents' house for vacation and one week into the visit, my infant son and I would wake up in the middle of the night on the floor after the air repeatedly leaked completely out. When I called AeroBed directly, they readily offered to replace the valve. Sounds like it's a recurring complaint from customers. The bed comes with a patch kit, but we were never able to find the source of the leak. But believe me.....it found us every night around 2 a.m.!

body-heat produces some moisture on sleeping surface even with pillow-top model and matress pad I added. This may be a characteristic of all inflatables. I may try a higher-quality mattress pad, like an egg-shell thingie.

This is a minor complaint but it gets annoying.

When and if I solve this, the product will get my highest rating. Until then, 4-stars.

I've had my full-sized Aerobed for nearly 2 years now and it's still going strong. I sleep on it every night, and I'm a pretty big guy at 235 pounds. True, at this stage of the bed's life it is a little soft in the morning, but I'm not on the floor either.

If you want an occassional bed, I think this will be worth every penny. It's not meant for daily use as far as I can tell.

We bought this bed right before last Christmas to use as a guest bed for some family that stayed with us during the holiday. We set it up Christmas Eve for its first use, which was very comfortable initially. The next morning we came down stairs to find our guests sleeping on the couch because the bed deflated almost 1/2 of the way. I was very embarrassed to say the least and felt terrible that their overnight stay at my house wasn't a restful one. Needless to say, we packed the bed up and had it shipped back to the company for a refund.

After reading the other reviews of folks who had similar problems with the bed as I did, I would not recommend taking your chances on this bed.

I have always purchased product from Areobed. I trust the quality and durability of their product. That makes it easy for me to purchase on line. I do not have to see or feel the product. Just make sure the size and style is what I am looking for.

This bed was easy to inflate. You can change the amount of air according to your comfort level. If it is completely filled it WILL keep its shape. When my house quest left the bed deflated quickly and I was able to get it back into the storage bag with no hassel.

I trust the dimensions they provide. You don't have to buy special sheets, blankets etc.

Great value and quality.

I have always purchased good quality product from this company. From camping to this queen bed for house guest - I trust the construction and life of the product. The company stands behind their warranty as well. This means a lot to me in this day and age.
--It's easy to inflate and keeps its shape even after 4 -5 days. Even my kids can do this project.
--You can fill the bed to fit your comfort level and this is a real full size queen mattress. Queen size sheets and blankets fit it perfectly. So no special sizes are required.

--It comes with the easy storage bag. You can store and take anywhere.

If you're going to be using this only for infrequent guests, this is a great product, truly is. Very comfortable to sleep on (surprisingly so), and fills up amazingly fast. (Heavy to carry from house to house, though, so I'd recommend it being a stationery, in house-thing.)

If you're going to be using this full-time, I don't recommend it. I used it for 3 months while I was in between beds (just moved to a new city, and didn't have time to get furniture right away), and at the 3rd month holes started to sprout, within the seams. Meaning, not holes from something accidentally poking it (I was very careful with it), but the seams themselves started to split open. Which means I spent $150 for a bed that only lasted 3 months. Not cool.

I purchased my 2 months ago. I guess, it was design for occasional use only.
Since I am traveling consultant, who has to stay in different places (read rent apartments), I decided to buy one. 2 month later (it means 60 uses later) it started deflating. Yes it is great, if you will use it 5-6 times a year, it will last you 10 years.
