Aero Bed - The most comfortable air mattress?

by shoplmart Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Aug 09 '05
Pros: Reliable, Easy to set-up, Guests seem to like it..
Cons: Price is a little steep, it can still can pop.
I purchased two original twin-sized Aerobeds a few years ago, figuring they would offer my houseguests a little more comfort than the couch or worse, the floor. My AeroBeds haven’t just come in handy exclusively for my houseguests, but have also ...

Aero Bed Portable Self-Inflating Bed: You Want Me to Blow That Up Before Bed?

by hwz1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 23 '04
Pros: Quick set up, easy to use and store, good material, relatively comfortable
Cons: Just relatively comfortable
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 ...

Aero put me through HELL

by klsdad , Dec 10 '04
Pros: Light-weight. Comfortable sleeping.
Cons: Very basic design flaws. Unfortunately for us they have very good advertising.
Two years ago I needed a light-weight twin mattress I could store upright, then carry to my sleeping area in my studio apartment. I saw one Aero mattress on the Home Shopping Network and ordered it. It was the model with the so-called built-in pillow. ...

great bed if minimally used

by mmamom6 , May 07 '07
Pros: comfortable, inflates easily, deflates quickly (which is great when you want it to)
Cons: leaks when used for an extended period of time
I bought our raised Aero Bed last year for overnight guests, and was really pleased with the purchase. We kept it up in the spare room, and it stayed inflated the whole year. My 3 sons who are all in the military used it at different times for up to 3 ...

Leaks around the seams after 1 year

by flightrisk , Jan 06 '08
Pros: Comfortable and easy to inflate.
Cons: Poor quality, splits along seams, only good for a season.
Bought this to use while living in apartments. Was living overseas and needed a portable mattress to use for the several months I was back in the USA. Worked great the 1st time I used it, which was for about 4 months. Then put it in storage (carefully ...

Waste of money, too many leaks!
by barkley999 ,Mar 26 '04
Pros: None
Cons: Leaks will drive you crazy!!!!!!
I bought a twin size Aero Bed about 1 year ago at Bed, Bath and Beyond. After only a couple of months it began to leak at the dimple seams. I repaired six "pin hole" sized leaks before getting fed up as it developed more leaks and I ran out of patches and glue!

I contacted Bed, Bath and Beyond and they gave me a replacement for free!!!!!!!

This time I even put a blanket under the bed before inflating it and the leaks are UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

I believe it is just a good old design flaw with the dimple seams.

I have repaired six different leaks in the last four days and it leaked again last night. It is nothing but trash now. I feel like I'm throwing $100.00 in the garbage!

Leaks, leaks leaks
by rittlemethis ,Feb 06 '06
Pros: Most comfortable sleep I have ever had.
Cons: Leaks, leaks, leaks.
This is probably the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. The problem is that it doesn't last. I bought one and fell in love with it. After a month it sprung a leak. I patched it but the flocking prevented the patch from holding. I sent it back & it was replaced free of charge. While I was waiting for the replacement I bought another at a discount warehouse store. It too sprung a leak after less than a month. I got the replacement. Same deal...always on the seams of the dimples. The design is terribly flawed. Pity. They are not inexpensive.

Company Does Not Back Product
by saldeen ,May 31 '04
Pros: None
Cons: Poorly engineered and constructed product.
After using an queen size Aero Bed for about a month, we noticed that the sides were bulging and the fitted queen sheets would no longer fit. A phone call to the company revealed that they were aware of the problem "the internal coils are uncoiling", but only offered a 30% discount if we would purchase a new bed, and there was no guarantee that a new bed would not develop the same problem. Buyer beware!

Happy with my double size Aero Bed
by cg2jasmine ,Nov 13 '04
Pros: fairly comfortable, compact, inflates easily
Cons: I cannot think of any except it was not discounted when I bought mine.
I bought the original Aero bed in the double size about 4 years ago. I use the bed 4-5 times a year, and I have even loaned it to my son when he had a New Year's party at his house. The bed has never leaked and remains firm all night. I am very happy with mine.

aerobed terrible investment
by dany1234 ,Aug 08 '04
Pros: none
Cons: they dont last long enough for the investment
My husband and I bought an aerobed 3 months ago. The first time we used it was a very nice experience and we thought it as a good investment. We couldnt be more wrong. The second time we tried to use it was losing the air.
If you are planning to keep this bed around for a while you are better of saving your money. This beds dont last.

AeroBed leaks; it's a waste of money
by vi9deo ,Sep 22 '05
Pros: Our dogs enjoy it in its perpetually half-inflated state.
Cons: It leaks.
It leaks, and since we can't find the leaks, we can't repair them. Really a crummy product, esp. as it was never comfortable, and only lasted eight months.

Pillowtop AeroBed
by tar4heel2 ,May 24 '04
Pros: As comfortable as my bed at home, stayed inflated for 3 days.
Cons: A bit expensive. No battery operated inflator.
I bought this air mattress to go camping in, out of frustration from buying air mattresses and having them deflate. I used it this past weekend at Huntington Lake near Fresno, CA. at the 7,000 foot elevation, and in temperatures that dipped to the 20's at night. I inflated it, it stayed completely inflated for 3 nights in a 9x12 tent with a carpet floor I bring with me when I tent-camp. I weigh 215 pounds and toss and turn at night, and it was solid as a rock. VERY comfortable, very durable and I slept like a rock. What was I waiting for in not buying this bed before? Best $140 I ever spent.

Leaks leaks leaks ....
by mars222 ,May 07 '07
Pros: is comfortable, but hope some better company challenges them with equal product
Cons: leak leaks leaks and horrible customer service (impossible to reach )
Plus terrible customer service having had to try 4 times to get through to them after 10min wait times each . Even ordering a "free" patch kit three times (because no cement at hardware store seemed to work) it never arrived .

On top of all this bad experience & waste of time with this company , to try and get a simple replacement silicone ring-washer which would cost no more than $1 they force you to buy an entire release valve unite for $15 with shipping . This was/is an absolute rip off plain AND SIMPLE . Not to have replacement washer and charge that $15 is blatant thievery .

Designed to breakdown after warranty !
by memepickme ,Mar 31 '06
Pros: Huh ?
Cons: HORRIBLE customer service !
EXACTLY a (few weeks) after their one year warranty, the bed starts ripping in corners underneath where there are some square shaped designs. I patch it up, and next use (or on that particular after patched use) it leaks again. Its on the corners of these squares. THIS IS A DEEEEEEEFECT ! But oh no they won't admit it. Instead they are SO nice to offer a new one for 2/3's off. 2/3's. like im some mathematician to figure that one out in my head. She said $75 for replacement (trade-in). RIDICULOUS.

DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND OF BED (www.thinkaero.com) !

IF YOU DO BUY IT, SEE IF YOU CAN BUY AN VERY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

Gone down the tubes - literally
by suprajunkie ,Aug 25 '09
Pros: None unless you only need a bed for 1-2 days
Cons: Weak design, leaks and Worst Customer Service Ever..
I purchased a Premier Comfort Plus Full Sized bed and used it for about 3 weeks.  It started leaking as many others reported.  I found the hole was near a pillow seam so I patched it.  Then it sprung a new hole even larger on the next pillow over and the seams at the pillows all started popping causing them to stick out like large pimples that you could not sleep on.   Contacted Aero and they asked me to cut up the old bed and send the piece to them.  They then sent me a new BED but as happened to others it was the WRONG Bed.  Not the same nicer model I had purchased - a cheaper version.  Contacted them, they told me they would send a UPS call tag and ship out a new replacement.  Never came.  Tried to call them on the phone and waits hours with no answer.  Sent emails, they said they would check on it and never responded.  If they are not out of business they should be.  Weak product with terrible customer support ethic means the company is doomed to failure...I'll never buy another or recommend to anyone..

I just bought my 2nd one.
by janetm57 ,Jul 07 '06
Pros: It is great for camping and guest.
Cons: I need a new bag. I wore the bag out.
I bought an Aero bed at least 6 years ago and I can truly tell you it is a remarkable portable bed. I take it camping and use it for over night guest. I could no longer get up off the reg. Aero bed so I just purchased the raised bed for camping. I also have to say that as many times as we have used it has paid for itself many times over. I would never trust an imitation. Thanks Aero bed.

Comfortable, but don't last as long as they should
by lensherr ,Jun 18 '09
Pros: Comfortable, convenient, inflate quickly
Cons: Not designed well enough to last very long
My aerobed experience started 8 years ago when I bought their mattress topper from a TV infomercial.  It was quite comfy and it lasted for a couple years.  The first year I used it on the bed and it fixed some lower back pain that I had.  The second year I used it to lay on in front of my TV.  After a while it would leak too much air within 15 minutes so I threw it out.  Years later I decided to get the 8-inch twin-size bed to watch TV on.  Was very comfy, but after two weeks it started to leak from some unknown location and I had to get rid of it.  Customer service was good and they shipped out another, but right out of the box that one has a pump defect and drastically leaks air through the pump the second I stop inflating; didn't get to lay on it even once!  I'm calling them tomorrow to see if I can get a better replacement.

Also tried the 14-inch pillowtop model while they were sending out the first replacement (I didn't mind having a spare bed).  That was comfy but leaked after two weeks as well.

disappointing product
by jd4000 ,Oct 07 '05
Pros: ease in inflating and deflating, price point
Cons: ability to hold inflation and keep it. Will eventually fail.
hello, I have the same experience to report re: Aerobed's quality. I liked the firmness adjustability and price point. However, the bed does not stay firm for too long. Mine started losing its ability in a month. Don't waste your money on this, nor the shipping cost.All their products seem to have this defect- I've bought 2 mattresses and 1 mattress pad. I also hate the built-in pillow feature- gave me a neck ache.

Comfy....but very short life span
by exeter_acres ,May 26 '09
Pros: Very comfortable out of the box. Inflates fast
Cons: Leaks after only a few uses.
For the price, this should not be a disposable item.
Tired of replacing.......
Very nice out of the box, but very short life span.  We are on our third...
Guess we should have learned....
Yes, ours does get regular use (house with no guest room and lots of guests..  and occasional camping with the desire to be comfy!)
They just start leaking after time.  Impossible to find from where so no real way to fix it.....

Looking for replacement from another brand!

Tired of spending the money for something that only lasts a few months.

Aero Bed sucks
by pbaileyjr ,May 03 '08
Pros: nothing "pro" about it
Cons: impossible to keep inflated
I just purchased an Aero Sport All Terrain Bed with Dual Power Pump. It seemed like a good deal on line. I tried it out on a three night camping trip this past weekend and it was awful. I couldn't keep the bed inflated for much more than an hour. We ended up exhausting the fully charged dual power pump and had to back the car up close to the tent in order to use the (only 6' long) AC cord. No matter what I did, the mattress would not hold air for longer than an hour before my butt would hit the ground. After about two hours I was flat on the ground. I'm sending this thing back ASAP for a refund.

Buyer BEWARE
by buzz4ever ,Jun 08 '09
Pros: no pros what so ever
 
Cons: Poorly constructed product
High priced
Terrible customer service
Terrible warranty
After reading good reviews about this product I purchased a raised comfort guest bed from smart bargains.  Recently had a newborn baby and had many guest in town visiting.  Third night being used....Half the bed "broke" it lost it's support and over inflated.  My guests spent the rest of their time here at a hotel.  Wait...it get's better.  I call aerobed to file for warranty.  It takes them 10 days to process my warranty exchange.  10 days is totally outrageous.  Wait...it gets better.  They sent me a replacement...however it's the WRONG BED!  They send me a single, not a full size bed! Not done yet.....I call Aerobed and they are totally non-apologetic to my situation (four guests in 3 weeks staying at hotels...).  They say they will overnight a new bed to me.  10 more days...NO BED!!!!   After numerous calls to customer service they finally figure out that the bed was out of stock and there is nothing they can do.  Totally avoid this company with every inch of sanity!  They are out to make a profit by selling bad products with worse customer service.  A horrible, horrible expensive mistake.  BUYER BEWARE!!!!
