My impression of this bed is pretty good owing to it's sturdy build quality and ease of setup. I left the bed outside for awhile after the first unpacking to help get rid of the new plastic smell. The only extra thing you need to set it up besides ample space is an electrical outlet.

The pump is built into the side of the bed itself with an easy to dial control (inflate, off, deflate) to adjust the hardness of the bed, as well as a larger deflation valve (basically a large capped hole) when you are ready to put it away. The pump has a resettable fuse with shut off to protect the pump from engaging longer than 10 minutes (should take ~4 minutes to fill according to the instructions). I suppose if the pump fails or the bed springs an unrepairable leak, then the whole thing is a lost cause, instead of being able to salvage just the bed or pump individually.

The bed itself is comfortable. The surface is frictionized to help keep the sheets from sliding all over and the headrest helps keep the pillow from falling off the top. It comes with a storage bag with shoulder strap, and it actually fits in there, though the small built in pump prevents you from totally rolling it up flat. The bag's shoulder strap is handy since it is a relatively heavy item, at least ~30-35 lbs.

It's great to spring the bed out for guests in our cool basement. Initially, my son had fun jumping around on it (highly discourage that for many obvious reasons...).

REVISION!!! I BOUGHT THIS BED FROM AMAZON FOR $120 (WITH FREE SHIPPING). I LIKE THE BED FOR $120, NOT FOR THE $300 THEY ARE ASKING NOW. MY REVIEW STILL STANDS THOUGH.


I am a graduate student who didn't have the money for a nice mattress and am not sure where I'd be living at any given point. I had heard Aerobeds were great so I thought I'd try them out. My bedroom has hardwood floors so I bought a $150 box spring from Value City (even before I got the Aerobed) because I didn't want the it to be on the floor. Boy was I amazed when I inflated this thing!

I was looking at the regular queen, the raised queen, and this one with the pillow support. I'm pretty cheap so I was thinking of going with just the queen, but thought that I would spend about $30 more for the extra chamber and the pillow support. THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE.

The pillow support is what makes this such a great bed. I'm 6'4" so my feet are normally at the edge of a queen size bed. However, the pillow support adds about 4" in length at the head of the bed so my feet don't have to hang over! :)

The mattress is about 18" in height, and the box springs add about another foot. I have it on the floor, so a frame would add some more height if you need it.

I highly recommend this bed if you don't have the money to spend on a "real bed." Plus, once I do have the money, I can use this for company when they come over.

Seriously, buy this bed. You won't be disappointed.

I ordered this bed as a guest bed. I blew it up when it first arrived to test out the quality, and left it overnight in the empty guest room. By morning, the bed was partially deflated, and within 2 days it was 1/2 deflated. I returned it to the company for a replacement, but the company insists that the air is leaking from a puncture that they say must have happened in my home. They will not repair it and are sending it back to me unpatched. We do not own pets, the bed sat in an empty room overnight, and there are no sharp objects, rug tacks, etc in the room. They sold it to me with a puncture and refuse to replace or even patch themselves. I will not purchase products from this company in the future.

We bought this bed because we had some guests visit us and we needed one more bed. I asked our guest to rate the bed and she gave it "five stars". The bed is of high quality and is easy to set up. You can inflate the bed to your desired setting using the inflation dial. There is no work involved other than getting the bed out of the shipping box because it is very heavy. There are also patches included in case of an accidental piercing. I highly recommend this bed.

I purchased an aerobed when we first moved, and our furniture would take several days to follow. My husband and I both slept on the bed, and we found it nice that we could adjust the firmness.

It inflates rapidly, and it has an "opener" that makes it deflate in seconds. (make sure the opener is CLOSED when you inflate the bed - it works better).

We use it now for company and they enjoy it as well.

For more space (and less bounciness) I recommend individual twins:
Aerobed InstaSleep Twin Raised Inflatable Bed

I live in a condo and I wanted this bed as an easy - but substantive - alternative to buying a full second bed. It is a huge step up from previous Aerobeds (which, I might add, were also quality products). It is taller, MUCH firmer and more stable, and very satisfying to sleep on. And easy to use. I was very surprised that it could be that good. I've had Aero beds for years and love them, but this is truly the next generation. Enjoy!

My first Amazon review...Just had to write something about this bed real quick...

I bought this for company and let them use my bed (A king) and I slept on this...I was amazed how much better my back felt after sleeping 1 night on this bed...Since then it has replaced my "real" bed...This thing rocks...Thinking about getting a couple more just in case it pops...Been on it every night for over a month...

At 6'2 I fit on this easily...

This is the greatest thing ever! I love this mattress. It is so comfortable. We use it for guests and they say they sleep wonderfully on it. It is super easy to inflate and deflate. It stores nicely in the bag provided and can be tucked away under a bed or in a closet for future use. One of the best investments I've ever made. My sister had bought one and she had encouraged me to get one as well. My sister-in-law and brother weigh almost 600lbs collectively and it supports them easily. I was concerned about them having difficulty getting up from a mattress on the floor but because it was raised, they had no trouble at all. The price on Amazon was excellent, too.

I bought this inflatable bed about 8 months ago at Costco for $85 (sale price). I set it up in my spare bedroom and it has been inflated for almost 6 months now! the built-in pump is quite handy as every once in a while I have add air to it, but it holds there air perfectly, and is very comfortable too!

I would recommend this to anyone looking for an inflatable bed... although I'm not sure I would pay $128 for it, but it is well worth the $85 I paid for it!

We bought this bed at Costco for a visiting relative. Pretty comfortable (although you have to put a blanket under the sheets - otherwise the surface feels cold).

BUT - 1) Slightly leaks - had to re-inflate for a minute each evening (no problem, except when there's somebody sleeping nearby - it's pretty noisy
2) After about 2 weeks, middle of the night, we heard 2 bangs - almost like gun shots. Turns out the part of the construction that makes the bed "raised" failed, so instead of looking like two stacked mattresses it looks (on one side) like one very fat matress. Pretty frightening, and the fitted bedsheet does not fit any more. Returned to Costco (great - no shipping !) and picked up a new one.

3) New one leaks like crazy - soft and soggy in the morning.
4) Exchanged for a new one - same thing, only slightly worse.

Returened, bought a Coleman twin inflateable (not raised, no headboard) instead. Also leaked like crazy (2 samples).
IMHO the problem is in the very similar, built-in inflator pump - there's a built-in valve that would do it if it leaks. Returned it, bought an Aerobed (not raised, no headboard) with n external pump. Also leaks, but a LOT less !
