SimplySleeper Premium Air Mattress with Built-In Pump & Rechargeable Battery

Though this is a wonderful mattress made from durable, non-stretch material, the fact that it is only possible to fill it from a fully charged Ni-Cad battery is a serious design flaw which needs to be addressed, in my opinion. I've had the mattress for about a year and inflate it for frequent guests and to put in our tent for camping. I love it in theory. The mattress itself is rugged and comfortable and in the beginning inflated quickly. Unfortunately, the fact that a Ni-Cad battery has "memory," coupled with the fact that one cannot simply plug this unit in if the battery is low, means that the battery will not maintain a full charge anymore. It would be helped by two things: 1) The battery inside the blower could be upgraded to a lithium cell, which is not adversely affected by partial charges. 2) The electric blower motor could be modified to allow the transformer to plug in when filling (in the event of a dead battery). It is easy to let the air out of a mattress, but I have been frustrated on more than one occasion when the battery had been in the bag too long and wouldn't fill the mattress. Then we had to either plug in the blower until it charged (hours) or get light headed blowing the mattress up manually. If this gets fixed, I'll buy the nest iteration or the upgraded blower.

I bought this air bed because I was going to a weekend trip to my grandparent's campgrounds. The air bed came quickly and I didn't open it until I got to the campgrounds. Boy, that was a mistake. The batteries had to be charged for at least an hour before I could get enough juice to pump up the air bed. That was my only complaint, but that was kind of my fault for not trying it out before I go somewhere that doesn't have easy to access electrical outlets. I should've brought a car AC adapter. But overall great air bed for camping or sleepovers.

PROS:

very comfortable (forgot it's an air bed)

No sagging after a night of sleep

Easy to use pump (it deflate or inflates)

Bed has integrated travel bag with zippers that make folding and unfolding super easy (best feature!)

Lightweight and stylish

Cons:

Battery was not charged initially

You can not plug pump and inflate/deflate at the same time, must remove pump to charge up battery

UPDATE: I left it a 4 star earlier, but I am giving it a 5 star now. I lent it to a friend for camping and she absolutely loved it and wanted to buy one. I let her keep mine as a gift and just ordered another for myself. :)

Received this item the other day, and based on previous reviews immediately plugged the charger in overnight. The next day checked both inflation and deflation and everything worked fine. It was very quick and simple. Then I refilled the mattress and left it up a couple of days and it lost no air at all and indeed is very comfortable. I really like how it folds up into the attached bag very easily. Will now take it camping for a few days and am looking forward to the comfort I experienced here at home. Any problems and I will add them to this review, but I really feel that I have purchased an excellent product, well worth the extra money for both the durability, comfort, and ease of use.

I ordered 2 of the twin size and 2 of the queen size for family camp outs. I have purchased others, even expensive ones and have been disappointed. These air beds are simply wonderful.... you just charge the pump, when ready, insert pump with end marked inflate and in seconds your bed is ready....when ready to deflate, just reverse process... bed deflates in seconds. flat enough to put right back into the carrying case it came in.

Wonderful firm bed ready in seconds... my grandsons use theirs also for Friday movie night sleepover in the living room and they hold up beautifully!

I would make a commercial for this product I am so pleased with it!

We ordered this bed for my sister's b-day at first. But ended up opened it before giving to her, cause my kids were curious how the built in pump works. My whole family of 5 were so amazed how quickly and convenient it is to inflate and how the pump was designed! My 3 kids slept on it for the whole weekend, and looking forward to use it again this weekend. They're loving it! :) Is nice to have around for trips or sleepover. Best of all, is comfy & not like other inflatables, super hard to fold it back and never can fit back in the box after use. This one comes with a attached zipper bag (u can't lose it) and the pump deflates itselfs, just fold it in and store back in the perfect fit bag easily. I will have to order another one for sister, we are keeping this one after all. :)

The con is you can't charge and inflate same time but speedy inflation (inflate the bed within 1-2 mins) with 1 hour charge time.
