Has anyone had any experience with these air mattresses with the built in pumps ?

I like them, they're fine to sleep on. Take all her jewellery off before you put her to bed, they're no use after they're punctured.

i slept on one for months before i bought my bed, it was very comfortable, i covered the base with blankets then sheets to make it smooth.

The only problem may be if she has problems getting up or down from low on the floor.

E-MAIL Air Mattress

Your eyes do not deceive you: that sleek slab levitating in midair is in fact a bed, and it is floating unsupported--though lightly tethered at its four corners--16 in. above the floor. The hovering bed is the daydream of a Dutch designer who says he was inspired by the monolith in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Its secret is a matching set of repelling magnets, built into the bed and the floor below, that's powerful enough to support almost 2,000 lbs. The magnetic fields are supposed to be perfectly safe for sleepers, but you're advised to take off your earrings before vacuuming underneath.

Inventor: Janjaap Ruijssenaars

Im certain shes already dizzy anyway. That shouldnt be an issue. Although Ill put her in the garage if she vomits anywhere but the terlet.

We slept on those for a month while we were waiting for our belongings to arrive from the UK. It was comfy - although I was glad to see my bed when the boat finally arrived :-6

Add a memory foam mattress cover and it will be so comfy, you might want to keep it for yourself.

they are quite expensive here in the uk, a pillow is £20, are they cheaper in the us.

A king size topper is around £120 and a proper mattress is £160

My parents have one that has a stand/frame for the air mattress, so it is off of the ground, you can find them in the camping section of the stores (although you probably already know that, I'm just so proud of myself that I know that, I wanted to share!:D) We always have one for when family members come from out of town and they aren't keen on sleeping on the floor with a sleeping bag....:rolleyes:

"Aero Beds" are excellent I have one for my granddaughter to sleep on when she stays the night. I also slept on a queen size air mattress from Target for months while I looked for new bedroom set. It was excellent as well.

Thats what Jaimy just came home with. I wonder what she really has in mind though.

We slept on an air mattress for a while. It was quite comfortable. When it got too holey, hubby got the bright idea to fill a water bed mattress with air. You do NOT want to do this. Well, maybe if you want a good laugh you do. I laid down and it was comfortable. It was not so comfortable when he dove on it and I went airborne landing on, and breaking, an end table. :wah:

Nomie set it up and air it out. They have that new plastic smell that can take awhile to go away.

Bed Bath and Beyond sells one that is great. Queen is around 100.00 but you have to look for their frequent 20% off coupons. Very comfortable.

"Aero Beds" aren't cheap. I have had mine for at least 3 maybe 4 years they are durable and easy to set up.

Don't believe a word these women on here tell you Gonads! They're just trying to steal your handsome lemony self away from the wife! :sneaky:

Trust me!! $300.00 is a bargain price! Assuming it comes with an attic and basement attached- that is...

Absolutely....the smell is a bit odd....also make sure it is fully inflated. I used one for about 6 weeks when I first moved to my flat but it was a bit uncomfortable for the first 2 nights until I realised I needed to inflate it more. After that it was perfect.

My grandson has a 'ready-bed' that he uses whenever he goes to 'sleep overs'....it's really good because it's like a sleeping bag.
