Superb solution to the "where will my kid sleep while we're staying at ____?" problem.

- Comes in a cool back pack for easy travel
- Inflates quickly with included pump
- Deflates quickly to save room in a cramped hotel or spare room
- Rechargeable pump holds a charge for a long time
- Comfy

The only negatives I can think of are minor. The pump nozzle is a tad tough to fit into the inflation valve. The bed is a little large for tight spaces. It does lose some pressure over a couple days. Definitely recommended, though!

Maybe I just got a lemon but everything went wrong with this. The airpump fell apart the minute I turned it on(I had to find another) and the mattress couldn't hold air through the first night. (And YES I know how to operate and close an air mattress valve correctly). I returned it and Amazon was great about a full refund.

We use this bed more than we thought we would - for travel, stays at grandma's house, daycare etc. It inflates fast and travels well in its own backpack that came with the bed!! The built-in "bumpers" prevent him from rolling off it in his sleep. It's perfect for the child who is too big for a portable crib/pack-n-play but too small for a big bed. Also the rechargeable pump can be used for other air products (beach balls etc). This is a product I highly recommend to everyone!

Gentle Air Dr Watters Childs Portable Overnight Bed
I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son who still sleeps in a crib. When went on a long weekend to a resort, I worried about him sleeping on the high beds. My son is an active boy before he falls asleep--rolling around etc. I considered bed rails, but wondered if he still would not find a way to fall out of bed! And I read reviews on various rails and they really ran the gammit from great to difficult to install to down-right unsafe. My son weighs too much to use a pack-n-play and there was no way I was going to use the hotels old metal shaky crib. (We had been to this resort before and had seen their ancient cribs.) So . . .I bought the inflatable bed. We tried it out for a nap at home and he thought it was fun and liked it. It was easy to carry--it comes in a backpack. It was easy to inflate and deflate. And most importantly, I could sleep knowing that he was safe. For the amount of money you pay for it, I wish they had included a fitted sheet. I put a soft waterproof pad in the bed in case he had an accident. But other than it not coming with a sheet and the expense, I am glad we have it for future sleep overs and get-aways. I highly recommend it to others.

This portable Kids bed is exactly what we needed. We have used this for traveling, spending the night at friends / grandparents, camping and sleepovers at the neighbors. Works perfectly for when you have friends over with little ones also. The air pressure stays tight all night long and is very easy to inflate with the included pump. Very happy with this purchase. Thanks!

Well needless to say I have kids who have used this product-have 2 of the Gentleair kids beds and have a hard time keeping the kids off of it.They love taking it to friends houses or to grandmas for sleep overs. They are 5-7 and can pack the bed in its own backpack that comes with each bed-they can attach the pump themselves and blow it up--have not had any leaks(4 months of hard use) and would highly recommend it to anyone who has kids that love to have sleep overs.

I recently obtained one of these beds as a gift and was immediately impressed by both its construction and ease of use. The bed has a check valve that needs to be turned before filling-I think that this is the reason why some people had trouble with the bed deflating. I found the check valve to be a handy feature myself...and detailed instructions for its operation are printed on the bed. My daughter absolutely loves the bed and has been sleeping in it every night. I would recommend this bed to anyone with smaller children-especially families that like to camp and travel a great deal. This bed has been an excellent product for us.

After my first bed failed, and after some back and forth with the manufacturer, I received a second bed. I'm sad to say that I've had the exact same problem with the replacement which is that it will not stay inflated overnight if a child is sleeping in the bed. In both of the beds we've had, air seeps out of the area near the inflation point which indicates a design or manufacturing flaw.

I really wish this bed worked, and maybe they just have a bad batch at the moment, but I must advise against buying it.

I so wanted this product to work. My little girl is a roller, and when we go on vacation she falls out of bed even when she is on the floor. This bed seemed like the perfect solution. I got the bed & based on some of the reviews, I decided to blow it up and test it out. It worked great and stayed inflated for 3 days. Then we took it on vacation, and it never worked again. My poor daughter ended up sleeping on the floor! She is only 24 pounds, and certainly is not heavy enough to cause the bed to deflate. I exchanged it with Amazon for a new bed. The replacement was even worse! It wouldn't stay inflated even once and was completely out of air with in 5 hours! I have returned it for a full refund, but am totally dissatisfied. Don't let YOUR CHILD be the one sleeping on the floor on your next trip out of town.

this is a great concept however, ours would not hold air. after the first night i folded a comforter and placed it on the floor. our 2 1/2 year old loved it and with a blanket and protective pad folded we had no trouble with it staying in place. doubt a sheet would work as the sides are still slippery. love the "lip" as it helped to hold all his animals and pillow in. have not contacted manf. to see if can exchange for one that holds air. oh and the zipper for the storage bag is cheep and came apart first try.
