I am very satisfied with this air bed. I bought it for my lake house. We're not moving the permanent furniture into the house until after some updating. This has been a great temporary bed. The first night it lost a little air but not bad. I added more air and it hasn't lost air since ... and it's been 2 weeks. It's comfortable and the height makes it much easier to get out of than the single air mattress. I would recommend this bed.

I would actually rate at 4 1/2 stars, because it's great but not perfect. I've slept on one every night for 10 weeks, and my observations are:

Fitted sheets don't fit - there's no place to tuck them in. It doesn't matter. The flocked top will immobilize anything short of something as slippery as silk. It looks a little strange because the bottom sheet reaches lower than it should, but it works.

It does leak, slowly. The built-in pump will both inflate and deflate, and the valve for selecting between them is a little hokey. Be sure to fully rotate the selector to the extreme, because a little off will cause a faster leak. It will still lose air, through the valve is my guess. That doesn't matter either, because you can top off this bed in 2-3 seconds, and what you need to do so is built right into the mattress. I have to add a little air after about 4 weeks of daily use.

I would not only recommend them, I've already decided to buy a non-raised version as a replacement for the conventional mattress in our travel trailer. It's comfortable, convenient, and light-weight.

A nice feature of these airbeds (which I have not yet used) is that they will deflate as quickly as they inflate. They have to be an ideal solution for surprise overnight visitors.

We ordered one and then another for a summer stay in CA. Great heigth, very comfortable, but we developed a leak. We patched the leak and so far it is holding, but very disappointed in having to repair.

we use this bed daily. its great. no problems. put air in once a week. inflates quickly and holds air good. nice for extra guests.

The height is nice, but not being able to use a fitted sheet is a real inconvenience. Not a good trade off for me. It also loses air during a night of sleep. Not very happy with it.
