Advantages: Quick infating

Disadvantages: heavy when deflated

We are a family of 5 who love camping; well although I do love camping I do like to be comfortable!! When we were away in Ireland last year, my son somehow ruined the old airbed he shares with his sister - being the generous parents we are, we gave them ours, then shot to Argos to get smoething better for ourselves!
We chose the double Aerobed, £79.99 and we are pleased with our purchase. It so quick and easy to inflate using the built in electric pump, it only takes 60 seconds - no more pumping for us! Once up you can adjust the amount of air in it by releasing the valve to your liking. We did find that every couple of days we would need to add a little more air as it had gone down just slightly; but we had to do that with our old airbeds as well, so think it might be a problem with airbeds in general. Both of us found the bed much more comfortable than our old one, and easier to get off, especially for me as I'm not very agile. The electric pump that it comes with has a battery unit that you can charge up at home and take with you, so no need for electricity when away from home. The bed is made of extra durable PVC and is puncture resistant, the layer you lie on is flocked. This item is not washable but I expect it could be sponged off.
The bed deflates very quickly, and all the air comes out making it easy to roll up. It is stored in its own bag. Ok it might be a bit bulky and heavy but its very comfortable.

Summary: A good buy for us
