I bought this air bed over others because I had seen it previewed on a TV shopping channel and I thought the inclining mattress was a wonderful idea. Mattress is heavier than Aero beds, but it seems to be made of heavier vinyl and that added weight gives the bed a great deal of stability...no flipping. I found the bed easy to move about the room, although I don't think I could bench press it over my head. I didn't have any problem with the bed losing air. After the bed is inflated for a couple of days, it gets a tiny bit soft due to expansion of the vinyl, but a quick blast from the motor and it is good to go again. The incline/recline works like a charm, and is very comfortable. The bed does require a thick mattress pad under the sheets, or the mattress is so cold through the sheets (this may be a plus in the summer), and the mattress is sometimes a bit noisy as the vinyl crinkles under you. These are very small complaints, and I received an air bed of which I turned out to be surprisingly pleased.

Don't! This item suffers from significant problems. First, because of the way the bottom of the bed is constructed, there develops a large depressed area in the center of the bed making it very uncomfortable and unsightly. Second, the "back rest" portion of the bed has never folded completely flat so using the bed is again uncomfortable. And finally, after only three months the item is now leaking air making it worthless. I rate this $130 bed JUNK.

Set up bed. Had trouble with the pillow part. It didn't go all the way down, suggested by the brochure.

When we slept on the bed the first night, we kept losing air and the bed was slowly deflating. We checked for holes, and/or tears, found none. The air seemed to be seeping slowly from the valve. We inflated it every nite and by morning it was deflated again. Very uncomfortable, and frustrating, especially for my husband who slept on it. Since I have a back problem I slept on our 2 year old twin Aero bed which was like new.

Don't know if I would trust another one! Fortunately we were in our new Condo not on a camping trip. Our bedroom set was delivered 4 days later so we got comfortable again.

Got in touch with Wenzel and they told us to cut out the logo on the bed, and mail it back with an explanation as to what happened, and send a copy of the bill. We just did that and are waiting to hear from them.

Due to the consruction of the top section, the edges of the bed stay firmly inflated, but the center portion does not and you "roll" to the center of the bed whether you want to or not. Also, this makes it difficult to climb out of the bed. The portion of the bed that you can raise is a good idea for someone who has just had surgery (which is why I ordered it), or for someone who likes to read in bed, but the manufacturer needs to work on the construction of the air chambers.

I purchased this item for extra sleeping for guests coming in for Christmas. Set the bed up and inflated it to make sure it worked - by morning the top mattress was deflated by half. Refilled it and checked the next morning - same thing- with no one even sleeping on it!

Ordered the air bed because it allegedly runs on 4 D-cell batteries. It does not! It requires 120 V electric outlet and that is its only power source.

The product was delivered much faster than anticipated and is excellent for what it was designed. My husband and I used it on a visit to our grandchildren's house. It was easy to set up at night and stored away easily the next morning. The best part was that we both awoke without back pain!

i recently purchase this item, i weight 140lbs. i used this product twice it become a bathtub where it sink in the middle and the both end corner rise up. this product is not supportive as they say from my experience.

Bed was purchased for a visitor who is 6ft 6in tall and weighs about 240. He was extremely comfortable for the 2 wks he visited.

Bed was easy to open and inflate - even for a novice. The instructions were clear. The bed did lose some pressure due to the plastic stretching (this was mentioned in the instructions), and it was easy to pump back up.

One reviewer mentioned difficulty in deflating and folding the bed so that it fit back into the bag. I did not find this to be the case.

A couple suggestions: 1) If not on carpeting place an area rug or a couple of beach towels under the bed - makes it a lot easier to move. 2) If you have sharp-clawed pets, make sure to protect the bed with a heavy mattress cover to prevent punctures.

Overall, I'm pleased.

Bought the raised airbed in December for a visit to Toronto at Christmas.. inflated the bed, it immediately started losing air, but the time mid morning arrived,, 2-3am.. had to inflate the bed more, and then again at 6am.. once air starts leaving the bed, it wraps around you and is the most awful feeling of being consumed by some slug or something.. Even the information that came with the bed, tells you to expect that all air beds lose air.. this is just not true.. Coleman makes a better bed.. and i wish Wenzel would stand behind their product.. a $130. down the ole air hole,, R Guy Detroit Michigan. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE BAND FROM AMAZON
