A decent deal. The Sealy queen air bed was recently on sale at Costco for $100.
It was $100 back in 2021. Hiding inflation and tariff price hikes and boosting corporate profits even more by raising the price and putting it “on sale” for the old price seems to be the new norm.
If you’re buying this for camping, take note of the Queen size. You need a really big tent to fit this thing. Take it from someone who arrived at the campground with a Queen mattress and had to make a special WalMart run to buy a twin instead.
@IAMIS well if you got the Sealy one mentioned, you could probably seal-y up the leak. Of course you could for this one too, unless it’s that weird fuzzy flocked finish
These are listed as being regular household current run. If you leave it plugged in will it maintain the pressure if it drops during the night? Or does it only run until you turn it off manually? If so, I hope the cord is detachable so you don’t trip on it getting up in the middle of the night to go pee!
@chienfou Most likely, the cord is not meant to stay plugged in. It’s probably situated at one end with the built-in pump and is stowable inside a cubby next to/part of the pump.
Part of proper set-up is to inflate the bed a day or so ahead of time and let the mattress “relax” because otherwise it will be under inflated due to the wrinkles. That’s also a good time to see if there’s any leaks or problems. Waking up down level with the floor is not an optimum outcome.
For about a year a decade ago I was itinerant and subletting and went through something like four air mattresses at the time. I wasn’t very bright, obviously, but in case anyone else is also not very bright, I think it’s worth noting that these are not designed to be used for any real length of time.
@phaedrusnyc When I bought my first condo I slept on a cheap inflatable bed. The trick is not to overfill them. I still have one for “staying over” on projects. I’m getting a little too old to be getting up out of them but they’re handy, and this deal today looks solid.
@phaedrusnyc in my early days 1980s my room-mate said buy a waterbed <$200 at the time with nice wood frame. Plug in the heater (takes a while) and you have nice warm liquid bed. Later on moved to more advanced hybrid waterbed system that used multiple sealed tubes to prevent excessive sloshing.
Now 40 years later I am struggling with my Casper mattress that I call big squishy marshmallow and I hate it. No matter what I do it keeps trying to roll me over the side.
I don’t recommend an air mattress for couples, if you can avoid it. The mattress moves a lot, especially when one person gets up. If you want something for the occasional guests, get some twins.

I bet if Rose had had this thing, Jack would’ve lived.
@PooltoyWolf Is this what Molly Brown had?
@phendrick Unsinkable, provided there are no sharp objects nearby!

@bx2a5z That’s a valid point, I hadn’t caught that until you mentioned it.
@bx2a5z Why didn’t you staple it into a smaller size?

Seems like a crime scene photograph.

@chienfou @therealjrn After a certain age, just waking up is an optimum outcome…
@chienfou @macromeh @therealjrn guess you’ve reached it also.
@macromeh @phendrick @therealjrn
Pretty sure my spouse would push me out of the bed if I didn’t!
@chienfou These things are never automatic like that. You gotta press the button to pump it back up if it deflates overnight.

@user15832379 Why do you need twins?

@mediocrebot Ohhhhkay, scare the guests out and you don’t need a mattress.
Anyone know the weight of this thing when still deflated and in the bag?
@not2new2life about 16 pounds or 7.2 Kilograms if the Amazon ad is to be believed. I don’t know how many bees that is.
