Its a bed. A bed is a bed. However it doesn't inflate

We bought the raised queen size bed three years ago to accommodate visiting relatives. Granted, it was an older model that the model offered herein. The concept was and still is great...a modern version of the venerable air mattress only without the glacial,agonizing inflation or the instability. The pump is quick and quiet and you can roll over in your sleep without that sickening man overboard feeling.

BUT the problem with this product is duability. Our experience in the past year has been that the seams begin to pull apart regardless if you use it a little or a lot. We used it little and have experienced subtle, then rapid failure, culminating in relatives unexpectantly having to sleep on the couch this Christmas. Of course the warranty has expired so we have no recourse. If you like spending $200 for a year or two of sporatic use, then by all means order the AeroBed. But if you need to rely on a spare mattress down the road, you should invest in another product. We wish we did.

Very few items come exactly as advertised. This one does. The bed takes only a minute to fully inflate, and seconds to deflate. It fits easily in it's storage bag (this is the first thing I've ever owned which actually fits into its case- I have about a thousand umbrella covers that no longer fit any umbrella) ANd most of all, the bed is very comfortable! I just wiah I had a little tiny nightstand to put next to it!
