The only problem is that it seems to lose air through the night. I suppose this could be because the air temperature has dropped a bit, but I cannot quite tell. When I go to bed I inflate it all of the way so that it is firm and comfortable. Usually, when I wake up, the bed is a little less firm. Sometimes it is even a little mushy. I don't think I have a leak, but I cannot tell, so I am undecided about the bed. A friend with the same bed says he almost never has to re-inflate it, so I am wondering if I should exchange mine.
However, it is far better than the Coleman bed I tried. That one sat twice as high as this one, but in the morning much of the air had escaped, and I was nearly on the floor. I didn't feel rested at all. On top of that, it was a real pain to inflate/deflate. If you are on the fence between the Coleman and this one, I would recommend paying the extra money and giving the AeroBed a try.
====UPDATE====
I gave up on the bed. The other night I woke up with a mushy mattress and decided I had had enough. Maybe mine was a lemon. If not, then I hope they improve the air retention quality, because it sure is comfortable when it is holding air!

Ok, I bought this item and after only after 6 uses it began to spring leaks (Small rips at the seams) I sent it back to the Company, which after inspection was kind enough to replace the item. This new replacement lasted about 4 uses and then began to develop the same problem. I sent this item back to the Aerobed company who stated that, they could find nothing wrong with their workmanship and sent the ripped item back to me. I fixed the small rip only to have another one occurr within 2 more uses. The item is now in a NYC trash bin, and the homeless won't even use it. In my opinion and based on my experience with this product it is poorly made and subject to rubber break down, which will lead to leaks. Don't waste your money. PS: The patch kit they give you to fix leaks is useless, and all the duct tape and glue in the world will never stop this type of mattress breakdown. Hope this helps.I have air matresses because I'm allergic to dust mites, which are found in copious amounts in conventional mattresses. AeroBeds are easily available at Bed Bath and Beyond , typically a twin is ~$99. Anyway, I've bought a bunch of these because I'm stupid and don't learn from past mistakes. These airbeds DO NOT LAST. They typically get pin holes in the corners of the bottom of the "pillow indentation /wells", usually in the center of the mattress near where most of your weight is. I imagine this is where the greatest stress and stretching is. Interestingly, if you patch or glue up the pinholes (Goop works well) then the stress redistributes to other corners of the "wells". I assume that they don't use a thicker plastic or do reinforcement in these areas becasue they want them to wear out and for you to keep buying these. Well, no more. I'm investigating some tougher brands.Sent this to US soldier in Afghanishtan. It would never hold air, yet no hole could be found. Cost more in time to package it up and send it back than it was worth. $100 for a twin air matress. It should have been higher quality.
