This is so much better than the traditional air bed, it's like sleeping on a normal mattress. I had the best sleep and highly recommend this product. Only negative is that it's somewhat larger than a normal air bed when it's flat and rolled up, because you can't fold it in half due to the memory foam topper. Excellent product, no pumps required, self inflates.

I bought this mattress thinking it would tick both comfort (on account of 12cm thickness) and convenience (on account of self inflation) boxes. It ticks the comfort box, but any convenience gained by its self inflating is lost when it comes deflate time. Is a real effort. Deflate pump is a must and even then its a task. Also the thing is massive. That's on me though, I purchased online before viewing, so this is not contributing to the poor score, but anyone considering purchase needs to see this thing in front of them before buying. Lesson learned for me. To add salt to the wound, the underside of mattress punctured after first use, and I couldn't fix with the supplied puncture repair kit. So I've had a bit of a rough experience with this one.

We've had the bed for two camping trips now and it's just as bad as the first trip. I brought the bed based on the great reviews from campers. I envy how it's met their expectations but somehow hasn't lived up to the same standards for us. I do hope it continues to serve others well. Before we even went on our first camping trip, we did a test run at home in the backyard. Tent, bedding, lighting. Everything. The very first moment from when we rolled out the bed, it didnt look right. It wasnt fully inflated. So we manually blew in air in to the bed (as recommended) which would have been fine, had it worked. We noticed that by blowing up the bed, air bubbles were forming in random sections, so we stopped. We gave it the benefit of the doubt, and slept on it for the ... MoreWe've had the bed for two camping trips now and it's just as bad as the first trip.

We gave it the benefit of the doubt, and slept on it for the night. We basically were sleeping on the ground. It was extremely uncomfortable. It's described as "12cm thick, making for an ultra-comfortable sleeping solution". Imagine sleeping between hard ground and a thick folded towel. That's a more accurate description. To make up for the poor investment (because it's not a cheap one at that!) we've been using a thick bed protector. This has made the world of difference. That said, we shouldn't have to use some type of subsitutue to fix a feature that's part of the product which is; comfort.
