I bought this bed in November, and opened it for the first time yesterday in preparation to go camping. I immediately noticed that there was not stop for air pressure to remain within the bed. So, when inflating with the pump and taking it out, about 10-20% of the air would escape. Not good for comfort or quality! I shook the bed all around for about 45 minutes and found the cheap plastic valve closer bouncing around inside. Finally, figured out how to get it out. I installed it back into the opening.
Then, I was very cautious putting the pump back in and the darn thing popped out of one of the hinges again, thus not allowing air pressure to stop leaking out. For the amount of beds, aerobed sells, I am shocked at the low quality / poor design of their most important mechanical part in the bed, the air release hinge. I bought a Coleman bed, for 1/4 the price and it is far superior in design.
Unfortunately, I waited too long to open it and now I have a $80 piece of plastic. Never will buy an Aerobed again. I think there is a reason why Walmart and other companies refuse to return airbeds after much time at all, they break!
We need a good airbed to be manufactured.
