We ordered this for our youngest to sleep on for camping. My husband blew it up by mouth, but I can't say he had fun. It did hold air for the three nights we were camping, even though I slept on it the last night. The pillow was a nice bonus. I'm giving it five stars because it really worked well for this trip and had a great price, but I can't comment on durability yet.
Update: Now I can comment on durability. This past fall we used the air mattress for a visit to family where there weren't enough beds. Same little boy slept on it. Seemed okay the first night, but was slowly loosing air after that. Each morning he would wake up on a half-inflated mattress. Pretty sure it's leaking from the valve. Disappointed. Will have to contact Intex for their recommendation.

Make your own portable crib for travel!
This is hard to inflate, just like other reviewers say, because it doesn't have a regular airbed big opening. It just have a small opening like on regular inflatable toys. So, takes forever to pump it up. I find that if you shove the pump nozzle in there as hard as you can to open up the valve as much as possible, then it inflates fairly fast. Once it inflates, it works fine as a airbed, and the added pillow is nice. I took off one star for not having a normal big airbed valve.I bought this for my 18 month old to use as a crib from Disney World. to fence him in, I got the Ozark Trail Kids Camping Tent $15 from Walmart. What's special about that tent? Nothing, except that it's 3'x5', meaning that it is the same size as the bed! So the tent and the airbed together will work like crib so that the baby can't get out or fall out of bed. See my picture. I cut some holes in the tent so that the baby can see out -- the tent doesn't have much mesh. It's benefit, however, is that it is extremely small and light weight. See the black sack next to the baby? That's the sack that holds the whole tent! The tent weighs a pound is all. It is the smallest tent I've ever seen. The airbed is 4 pounds, so together they are 5 pounds total! Not bad for carrying on the airplane.Hotels let you borrow playpens as cribs, which are OK when babies are young. Now my baby is too big for the playpen (he's average in weight and height), plus the playpen bottom is hard and baby will cry all night to be sleeping on that hard surface. This way, baby is nice and comfortable and secure, plus I have him practice sleeping in the tent and airbed before our trip to make sure that he is happy with the arrangement.Hey, camping companies out there, will you please make a tent-airbed combination for older babies to use as portable cribs so that I don't have to make my own? And when you do, please add more mesh to the tent so that the baby can see out and I don't have to cut holes (so crude!). Be sure to use a regular airbed valve, and keep the valve near the door of the tent for easy access to refill air. Thanks!Remember, your baby need to be older than a year to use airbeds, to avoid SIDS.Update later in the day: after I wrote the above review, I put the baby in the tent for a nap. He didn't make a peep, just fell nicely asleep and slept for 2 hours, right through all the talking and piano playing of the rest of the family in the living room. The tent kept him nicely on the airbed. Then later in the day, I put the baby in again so that I could take a 20 minute nap, and he wasn't sleepy, but he didn't complain, just lay in there quietly until I went to pick him up! I thought it would take a few days for the baby to get used to the tent-airbed arrangement, but guess not! One day and baby is already good to go!

I bought two of these for sleepovers and when we travel to see family we can buy less expensive room at hotel because my 6 year olds sleep on these 17 & 22 year old can sleep on beds/ pullout couch in suite and we have our own bed. It also is nice for movie night at home. We have all hard surface flooring and the girls like to pull these out and lay on the floor with their popcorn. The bright colors are cute as well. I got orange with blue pillow and green with orange pillow. There was no color choice but I did not care about that anyway.
I used a pump we had for larger mattresses to blow these up without any issues and it was a lot faster and easier to do than the big mattress that we use for camping. I took a photo and attached it of one of them laying across the top of a twin bed so you can see it really is pretty close to twin size. I use twin sheets on it and just wrapped the edges under. My 6 year olds are average size and weight (about 45lbs each) and these beds have room to grow. The little pillows are nice because normal pillows do not travel well. The kids used these in the car as well.
The price was great, I think I caught a sale but under $40 for TWO was alot less than I paid each for the raised cots I had that the kids broke. Those raised cots needed to have egg shell crate pad on them in order to be remotely comfortable as well. The only thing that would make these better is matching bag to store them in.
UPDATE: These are still holding up well. I may purchase two more so that when I host cousins week (I have two nieces similar ages to my girls) we can have them all in the gameroom for an indoor campout. I was worried when my 85lb German Shepherd walked on them a couple times but still no holes or leaking.
