| sharon90's Full Review: Simmons Beautyrest Express Bed |
I purchased the bed over a year ago, but only used it 3 times for when my brother visited. I have the Queen size, which comes with the pump to inflate and deflate it. Although he claimed it was comfortable, as I was deflating it today the pump started to turn bright orange within 20 seconds of turning it on, and then started sparking and almost caught on fire. This is only after three uses. I was holding the pump in my right hand (it's a hand pump) when I noticed it starting to glow. The bed was only half-deflated. I tried turning off the switch (on the pump), but it wouldn't shut off. I had to pull the plug, and sparks were flying so I almost caught myself on fire.
Now I have a half-deflated bed on the floor, and a pump that doesn't work. Plus I nearly burned myself, and luckily I wasn't electrocuted. I'll call the manufacturer, but right now I'm not a happy camper. The bed itself seems fine, but I didn't receive any manufacturers recalls on the pump, even though I filled out the warranty card and sent it in.
