how does it compare to an aerobed?

I have never owned an aerobed but my good friend has and she said the ones she had did not last, got leaks after short usage. This one is strong vinyl type and holds its shape and air.

Hi Rebecca, I don't understand your question. That is tall, good quality,space safe mattress.

I have only slept on an Aerobed once. I remember that it was fine. This bed, we love. You can adjust the firmness and it holds. We have used it at least 35 times and it is just like new. All sizes have used it, from 60lb child to 250lb adult.

Rebecca, we have 2 aerobed's, a full-size and a queen-size. It's as nice or nicer than both of them. My mother just visited for a week and it held the air grea,t and she said it was comfortable. She's 83 and we didn't want to have her crawling on the floor to get into bed. The only complaints were from my dogs because there wasn't any room for them when she was in bed. It's a very nice bed, seem well constructed. I'd definitely recommend it.

I'm not familiar with an aerobed so I can't compare them. However, my decision to buy the SimplySleeper was based on online reviews and I'm very happy I read through them all before buying. Instead of buyer's remorse, I have 100% buyer satisfaction.

I agree with Ray. The more space the better depending on your skill level. I've used my bedroom and launched off the bed. Nice soft place to crash, er, I mean land.

i slept on an AeroBed for two straight years in college. I would deflate it once a week and lubricate the rubber exhaust seal. Not a single problem the entire time I slept on it. I would expect this one is just as good if you give it a little maintenance now and then.

I'd used ah inflatable pillow before, which was OK. I actually like the Travelrest better, although nothing is perfect for a long, cramped plane ride (last one was 11 hours). What works best for me is to fully inflate it, get it positioned, and then slowly let some air out until it feels comfy for me. What I particularly like about it is that it works even with the seat upright, and I don't ever recline my seat (in steerage, where I fly) because it's awful for the person behind. So you might say Travelrest is good for two: me and the person behind me.

I am in the process of installing it so we have yet to sleep in it. The Murphy bed accommodates only an inner-spring mattress (no box springs) and no comfy pillow top. Just a plain vanilla inner-spring mattress. So I do not anticipate that I would want to use it as my primary bed. However, if you are young and hardy and have no other choice then it could work. I expect it to be more comfortable than a futon bed and about as comfortable as a good convertible sofa bed. In fact, had I purchased a convertible sofa bed for the man-cave instead of a regular sofa, then I would not be assembling the Murphy bed.

Thank you for your query. I use it on top of an AeroBed when guests come, so, it is not in use all of the time. This is a VERY HEAVY 3" thick wool-filled, damasck cotton covered topper. When one first hops into bed, it feels really luxurious. Guests tell me it is a dream to sleep on, on the AeroBed. Am not sure of the purpose you are looking for on the topper. Softer sleep? Barrier between a mattress and you? Wool and not synthetic? It provides positive results for all of this. Depending on the firmness of the mattress, it might not work, as, if you have a mattress sag, it will not help in that regard. Sorry for the delay. Thank you for your query.

The mirror is "ok" but the aero 2 is much better and very easy to put on and take off once you have adjusted the mirror angle to your truck or car. And a lot less vibration. A little more money but worth it if you want excellent rear vision.

The pump is separate. Works fast and easy, and sleeps quite well. I have two aerobeds for company and I put an inexpensive egg crate topper on them. Everyone tells me that they are super compy and sleep great!

I have used both, closed cell foam sleeping pads. Thicker than the lightweight, backpacker versions. Also used thinner air mattresses....I prefer the additional foam pad over the thin air mattress...Refer to the COT you buy specs for interior size in inches. Buy or cut a pad to fit....I cut one...

It's awesome but only an aerobed pump will fit. Comes with electric pump. Some mattresses come with dual pump but not this one- only electric

I can only speak about the twin size that I ordered.I ordered two of them. My guests that have slept on them have said they were most impressed with the comfort of the air mattress. And because they are a bit taller than other air beds, their construction seems to be a little different than a "ordinary" air bed. There was a recommendation on Amazon to add a thin foam topper for cushion, of which I did do. Again, extremely comfortable for an air bed.

When we lived overseas, I used to bring it on our trips home for my son. I had a car seat travel bag by Eddie Bauer and I could put the aerobed in the car seat and both in the bag and zip it up. If you went to the bother of folding it flat, you could probably get it in a traditional rectangle suitcase, but it would have to be at least a 26inch suitcase (I think). The motor is not large, no bigger than a football - so it is mostly in how you fold the rest of it.

My son who is in college slept on the AeroBed for 3 weeks and was pleased with the mattress. I don't know how it would be for months.

I also own a Coleman queen size mattress. Both are of equal quality- key is to make sure you put enough air in it. Advantage on this one is that it has the raised head area where the Coleman does not.

Don't know the actual weight limit but between us out weight is over 400lbs and the AeroBed is very comfortable.

We fit two full size beds in our tent the other weekend. However we bought an aerobed from Costco and that takes up over half the tent now, King size tho
