I am a big fan of camping, and go camping with my family quite a lot. When we first started going, we were using camp beds and mats to sleep on, not bothered about getting a full night of sleep as we stayed out until very late most nights anyway. After my uncle purchased a trailer tent, we realised camping could be, and should be comfortable. We did not have that kind of money immediately at hand, but what we did have the money for was an air bed. This air bed was our first, and we still have it. It is brilliant.

Unlike a lot of other air beds, this one is not like a bouncy castle. Far from it. It has many properties of a mattress, which we were very pleased with. It is supremely comfortable, allowing us to get a full 8 hours whilst sleeping in a tent! We were so impressed with the two we had already purchased, we bought two more and now we take them every time we go camping. We bought an electric pump for ours as nobody was willing to blow one of these up and so ours inflates rather quickly. One great thing about this product is it does not lose any air, or if it does, it is an unnoticable amount. I have slept on many air beds before where I have woken up with it only half inflated. This is not good.

Not only is this air bed comfortable and not bouncy like a trampoline, it is very durable. As I previously mentioned, these were the first we purchased and we still have them. There have been no problems so far in over a year of ownership.

However, this air bed is not perfect. If you move around a lot in bed, like I do, you will soon find out that it is very noisy when you do so and it annoys everybody. Also, when they are deflated, they still take up a significant amount of space and are rather heavy.
