Does it loose air leaving it inflated over days, weeks, or months?

Yes, it can lose air overnight. When I have guests I have to pump it up every morning, but guests have said it is very comfortable, and it's not unsightly like the ones that are on the floor. If you are thinking of this for a permanent bed for yourself, I would say it's not the right option, but for the occasional guest, it is very, very good.

It does lose air over days, but only a little and it is easily inflatable each time. My guests usually reinflate a bit before bedtime & it works just fine. Everyone so far has found it most confortable, a great guest option.

Bought mine March 2013. That is over a year ago and it still holds air today. I sit on for a few hours a day everyday.

Maybe it's a defective one... that happens (rarely, I think). On the other hand, it's really not supposed to inflate much. How flat is "flat"?

No it pumps up the bed to the required comfort and stops. I used it for 10 days and the pump only ran when i pumped up the bed for about 4 minutes and 4 minutes when i deflated it.

No it does not take long to inflate/deflate. The size when deflated is about the size of a large purse. We store ours in an outdoor trunk with our cushions and other inflatables. I will tell you that it is a wonderful product. You can put some cool water in the bottom and just chill out. I have taken many naps in mine.

We keep ours inflated in our basement, because we have room right now. I also don't have my own pump :O It's kinda big and obnoxious for everyday unless you have the space. It doesn't take too long to inflate! The anticipation is worth it!

I have had it for months and sit on it daily. I have not had to add air to it once. Hope this helps. :)

Yes, it deflates twice a week. Specially if you have air conditioning in your office and with the change of temperatures. Actually my chair cracked on the plastic valve area (where you inflate it) I am sending it back for replacement.

I have inflated mine twice and it seems to hold air well. Smaller than a normal full but seems like a good one. Most air beds need a short re-inflate every week or two. LT

I would guess mine took about 1 minute to inflate. My son did it every night and it was really quick!

I had mine blown up for about 5 weeks at one point. Seems there is some amount of stretch that will happen as it is first used. Meaning I did re-inflate it a couple of times early on, but at some point it appeared to stabilize and no longer require more air. Thats all I know, YMMV

We have never left it inflated in the garage, only in an indoor climate. We do store it deflated in the garage though (on and off almost a year now)

It comes deflated but has a straw like thing that you blow into an then there's a little cap that goes over it to keep the air in it. Very easy and won't pop out even with all you weight on it!

Nope! It stayed fully inflated all summer, and never broke or sprung a leak no matter how many times peopke jumped into or out of it. However, don't leave it inflated and outside over the winter. My kids left it out and the ice and snow really did a job on it. I decided they wont get a new one this year.

Mine had an oder for a day or two and it was gone. I was told not to sleep on it for 48 hours anyway to let it fulling expand, so it was never an issue.

It is not self inflating so yes you do need to buy a pump. But i will say it's been about a month in a half to 2 months and it is still inflated. The last one i bout lasted a couple days.

It stays under the mattress. You can let out the every every time or leave it inflated. One fits perfectly across my full size mattress.
