Aero Aerobed (Twin, Full, Queen, King)

Pros: Inflates and deflates quickly, easy to store, Built-in pump
Cons: Mattress may be too short for guests 6' or taller

I have to admit, I was quite skeptical on our trip to a local Bed, Bath & Beyond when we purchased the Aero Aerobed Twin. I had read the literature, looked at a number of reviews here and talked with several owners of the product. I was ...

Pros: Very convienant to store and travel with.
Cons: None yet

We borrowed the neighbors Ae ro Bed when we had a relative come ov ...

Pros: This is a great thing to have for many reasons. SEE REVEIW
Cons: I can't think of any at all.

Married 6 months ago, and still thinking about all the great gifts we received. I thought I would write about this awesome Aerobed Mattress. You know if you had asked me about 5 years ago what I thought about owning one of these, I would have ...

Pros: The mattress is perfect for occasional use.
Cons: It's not ideally suited for couples with a substantial weight difference

We purchased our Aerobed Queen Everyday with Comfort Control Wand in May of 2004 through QVC for $159. The immediate need at the time was for a temporary mattress for my husband and myself during transition from the home we sold to our new home. We had ...

Pros: Comfort, durability, value, ease of use
Cons: None that I can think of!

Well, I've read the negative reviews here on epinions.com and frankly, I don't get it. Maybe theirs were bought earlier than mine; maybe the Queen is exceptionally resilient; who knows? All I can tell you is my experience, which is nothing less than ...

Pros: lightweight, easy to move around
Cons: plastic material is bad, holes appear one after another bad and rude customer service

I've bought an air mattress about a year ago - yeah, the infamous Aerobed you see on TV late at night, with a tiger jumping onto it and so on.

Well, in the first weeks, a small hole appeared on the bottom of the bed, right on the seam of one...

Pros: Surprisingly comfortable
Cons: Not good for flippers between side and back & durability is a ?

Wife kick you out? Don't wan't to pay for a hotel when visiting someone w/o a guest bedroom? Aerobed is more comfortable then a couch, and more comfortable then a convertible sofa. (I pity you if you fell for the Jennifer Convertible sales pitch....

Pros: Easy to prepare for use.
Cons: Low to the ground.

Super comfortable for fibromyalgia sufferer: best sleep ever in "under-inflated" condition...I will NEVER willingly sleep on a regular mattress again!!! In former times, I was a tosser & turner. Now I barely move at all for at least 6 hours! It is...

Pros: Beds are fine if you do not need to have customer service.
Cons: Non-existent customer service saves them money by hoping you'll give up!

Customer service is non-existent at Aerobed if you are trying to get a replacement bed. First person I talked to quit literally the same or next day, but never gave our information about our failed bed to her replacement. Next person I talked to found ...

Pros: Fast setup, portability, and comfort
Cons: Extremely poor durability and customer service

There's no doubt about the ease of use and comfort of this bed, until seams start popping and as long as you can keep air in it. I purchased a twin a few years ago, and it lasted about a year. Then the support cells started giving way and now it looks like it's pregnant. I complained to Aero without results, but noticed some months later an ad for an "improved" Aerobed. I purchased one after calling Aero to describe my problems again and inquire about the likelihood of a similar failure. I was told not to worry, that the first one had been a fluke. Yep. It was. It didn't spring multiple (and major) leaks and tears in the vinyl after the first month of use, and the second one has also blown the six cells in the section of the bed I sleep. In short, this bed is a waste of money. It doesn't matter how comfortable it is when inflated, if you have to reinflate it two or three times a night to keep your tailbone off the hardwood, it's not worth a cent.

Pros: excellent concept, excellent comfort
Cons: questionable durability, especially the raised versions

the bed and the idea itself is excellent. i've had 3. twin, twin raised, and queen raised. the twin raised gave out in 6 months with intermittent use (~3x/wk). i had no problems with it at until the last month of its life or so when multiple holes started occuring, which kept recurring despite patching. the small twin is going strong after many years of infrequent use. the queen raised is ok so far (a couple of months old now), it has a different surface that has a suede-like feel type of covering, but we'll see if it lasts.... they really need to reinforce the surfaces some more...

Pros: Comfortable
Cons: Cheap

After only using our Aerobed a dozen times, we developed several holes along the seams near the "coils". They are nearly impossible to patch; both with the kit supplied and with tire repair kits. As previous reviewers have noted, the warranty is only 1 year and they are VERY stern about this and will not budge. $200 is an aweful lot to spend on something that is presumably going to be replaced every 12 months.

Pros: Easy set-up. Comfortable. Can be stored in closet when not in use.
Cons: Holes, holes and more holes.

As others have noted, this bed is fine when it is working. It is easy to inflate and it is surprisingly comfortable for overnight guests. We placed ours on a stainless steel folding frame and it doubled very nicely as a temporary bed.

But then the holes started appearing and the bed was rendered useless. These holes always show up on the margins of the depressed "dimples" or "cells" that cover the sleeping surface. These can be patched with GOOP or another strong adhesive, but it seems that as soon as one is patched another developes. You find yourself worrying through the night about how the guests are doing.

The real frustration is that we did not use this bed that many times. It's well past its warranty so we either try to repair ir or we throw it out. I have read online that the mattress can be sprayed with an acrylic based paint that does a good job in reinforcing the plastic. I may give that a try next.

Pros: Easy set up, comfortable, easily transported.
Cons: Mattress gets really cold if not covered under fitted sheet.

We had vacation plans at a cabin in the mountains. I decided to bring the Aerobed, just in case we needed it. My husband thought I was crazy and packing unnecessary stuff. Fortunately we had it with us because his snoring got to be so bad, I couldn't sleep. I set up the Aerobed in the living room and slept like a baby for the rest of our stay.

Pros: Inflates quickly, easily adjustable, stores quickly and easily.
Cons: Doesn't hold up.

I believe the overall idea of these beds is a good one, however the execution could be much better.

I do agree with the others that the beds are comfortable if inflated correctly (you must try over a number of nights to get the correct pressure. This could be a problem if guests only stay a night or so). I do not agree with those that claim the durability is good overall.

I bought one of these almost a year ago (a twin size) and it sprung a leak about a week ago. My wife and I have looked all over and can't find the leak. I am guessing the leak is related to the marriage point of the pump and the bladder. I have tried many other types of inflatables in past years and they all seem to last about a year before failing. This is my last inflatable. I just bought an Isotonic folding bed from Bed Bath and Beyond and will see how it holds up to the various uses over the coming months.
