I purchased one of these a few years ago while residing in a one bedroom apartment. Heck, if I wanted to have an overnight guest- at least one who was not shacking up with me- it was either going to be the couch or the floor. Most choose the couch over the hardwood floor, but what if I wanted to have another guest? Hmmm, problems.
So, I purchased an air bed. I had one back in the late ’80’s but it was a cheap thing that you had to inflate by blowing or with a foot pump similar to the type you use to inflate a Swedish workout ball. In other words, have fun. I had pretty much forgotten that I had this one when New Years Eve came around and we were entertaining a total of eight overnight guests. Hmm, lets see. My wife and I get a bed, another couple gets a bed, another will bring their air mattress, and the third couple….well, they could either split up and sleep on different couches, or I can find my air mattress.
The Aero Bed was a surprise for a couple of reasons. For one, you can inflate it in a matter of a minute or two. The bed has a cap at one end that needs to be shut and a small motor at the other end that when turned on will filler up. All you have to do is roll out the bed, close the cap, plug the pump in and turn it on. A minute later you have your bed. It could not be any easier.
The bed is made of a tough material that is modestly comfortable and will not puncture easily. The material also does not tend to pick up dirt and dust and is comfortable enough. The cap will usually be the bottom of the bed is not noticeable while sleeping, but the motor can be a distraction for a few people. It seems to end up at the head of the bed and will be knocked if you sleep with your hands over your head and dangling. I do not and do not know many people who do.
So, what about comfort? The bed is reasonably comfortable. I say reasonable because you do not want to sleep on this for a full week (Although you may get comfortable and accustomed to it.), but for the occasional night it is not bad at all. The pump and motor allow you to control how much air you use and, hence, how stiff the mattress is. I find that the bed is most comfortable when about 90% full of air.
The only conceivable problems that I can think of are that the motor ceases to work and you are left without a way to inflate the bed, or there are leaks. As for the motor problem, I doubt that this would be a problem. The motor is pretty simple and should not malfunction. Leaks could occur fairly easily. I would first suggest checking to see that the cap is attached tightly and, if so, you then have some searching to do. The Areo Bed does provide a small tube of sealant that is supposed to help seal any cracks or leaks that develop. I would not hold my breath hoping it will work, but you never know.
The Areo Bed is great for the occasional guests who you just do not have enough for. Why? For one, it folds away into a bag that is about the size of your average duffel bag. For two, lets face it, there are those of us who cannot afford infinite beds and bedrooms. So what? You now have a bed that can be used twice a year and set up in five minutes.
