Does an Aerobed expand in size with prolonged use?
Q. I've had my raise aerobed for over 2 years and use it as my everyday bed. It's great and very comfortable. No leaks. But I think it's bigger now than it was originally. Seems to take up more space and old sheets no longer fit. I bought a full size and full size bedding never fit, but now the queen size sheets seem to be somewhat small. I buy very good quality sheets, so it's not like they're shrinking. Has anyone else had this experience?

A. I hve no idea, but I'm thinking the plastic is stretching. I don't think they were made for continuous use. And, you may have over-inflated it at the beginning.

How stable is the Aerobed Raised?
Q. I'm looking at getting an aerobed raised for when guests visit as I have limited space. I am opting for the raised for the height of a normal bed so parents aren't climbing up and down to get on a classic bed. How stable are the rasied beds? Do they move around a lot with the two layers of air?

My aerobed a/c pump cord was chewed by my dog. Can I use a different pump to air it up?
Q. Right by the controller she chewed it right through. Is my aerobed ruined? Can I use a coleman battery pump instead on the valve at the foot of the bed? I don't want to throw it away! Thank you

Is there a way to keep an Aerobed (air mattress) from popping?
Q. Is there some kind of a cover you could put over it to make it sturdier or anything like that? Or better yet, is there anything out, there that CAN'T pop, that would be easier than a bulky conventional mattress to move around?

Have you ever bought an aerobed?
Q. Can you tell me about it? how long could you sleep on it? is it worth purchasing for a week or so or should i just buy a reg. bed?
Asked by Juillet - Thu Jul 26 17:13:10 2007 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. I have 2. Great for guests. It's comfortable. There are different quality aerobeds. My 1st aerobed was made of a thick vinyl like material with an attached inflater. My 2nd was thinner and more plastic with a detachable inflater. Look very closely at them if you are comparing prices to make sure you are looking at the same product (they differ from store to store) If you have room, get a real bed. If you want something portable and something that does not take much space when not in use then the aerobed is a good investment. And, yes you could use it for a week or so without a problem. It is actually more comfortable (and less morning pain) than many hotel beds I have slept on.

A. Totally recommend aerobeds. The others are much less comfortable - the sofa beds have a bar across them, and the folding cots are too thin. Make sure you get the aerobed that has the frame, not the one that goes directly on the floor. The other thing you could look at is a thick mattress futon - very comfortable.

A. I would recommend using your vacuum cleaner. Just hold the vacuum nozzle over the airbed air nozzle and start the vacuum cleaner up. Make sure that you do not do this for too long and if possible, set your vacuum's power as low as possible. Or you could do what I do and simply buy a electric pump that inflates and then fully deflates the bed as well. Quick and painless.

They pop and deflate quite easily too if you dont take extreme care of it (dont let any pets around it...my cat popped holes all over it and now we cant use it). but if you still do decide to go ahead and get one then get one with the battery operated filler. You DO NOT want to pump that thing full...its a workout...specially when you have to do it everytime after like 6 hours of it being used.

How do I clean an AeroBed?
Q. I have an AeroBed Queen Raised Bed with Headboard. I placed a small foam matress on top of it because the "bumps" in the bed were uncomfortable. However, after several months, I removed the matress to find a very large stain on the bed that looks a lot like mold or mildew (see pictures). I have no idea how this stain got there since the climate in the room is usually fairly dry. So my question is, what can I use to clean that? Photos: ---

A. The warm moist air from your body probably condensed enough on the impervious vinyl enough to promote the mildew. Unfortunately you will not be able to use chlorine bleach on that because it would damage the surface. You might try some oxygen bleach like oxyclean or clorox ll.

Inflatable mattress vs. folding camping cot?
Q. I'm relocating to another town half way across the country. I'll be starting new in town with just what I can carry on the plane. What I would like it know is: which is more comfortable or lasts longer, an air mattress or a folding camping cot? There is no problem with me finding either in the town, when I get there. Are folding camping cots comfortable? Do they fall apart in the middle of the night? How long do you think one would last? (I might need it to last for 3 months) I slept on an Aerobed at one time for 2 months. I was not pleased with how it lost air during the night most of the time. Are there any air beds that you recommend?

A. I can tell you from experience folding out camp cots are not comfortable at all. They are like sleeping on the floor with less room. I suggest an aerobed for sure i have experienced the air loss in the middle of the night also but this can be from the plastic stretching and until it is completely broken in it will continue to do this. Make sure your air intake is sealed off as best you can. I have slept on a aerobed for 3 nights without pumping it back up. They are the best choice for your money and a lot more comfortable.
