It’s about as true as his ability to spell “mattris” (aka: mattress). I’m just givin’ ya’ a lil’ hell there @hchavers. Also, @gwrankin, I bet @thismyusername already knows this but they have a large width air release port that simply unscrews and lets the air put in seconds. get the last bit of air out in whatever way best suits you, fold it up & bag. Super easy. I would have bought one if not for the fact that I have 3 already… don’t judge me…LOL
@hchavers Friend of mine has what looks to be a very similar bed to this one, but his deflates under power when you rotate the pump switch the opposite direction. Does this one not do that?
@gwrankin@thismyusername Every single areobed I have owned I, eventually, have had to put in the bathtub to find where it needs patched. But then again I have cats so they might be to blame. That being said, leaks in air mattresses, including sleep number beds is not uncommon so I don’t think this is a “feature” of this just brand.
@Fej It has been months, perhaps years, since an OHSHIT REPORT has been posted. Instead of holding your breath waiting for that use your breath to inflate this mattress.
I slept on an air bed for a year and a half during college. They were a novelty at the time. $20 without a built-in pump. The store lent out vacuum cleaners to the college kids who bought them but had no vacuums. The patch kit was worthless for the leak that developed where an inner cell met the top surface, but a dab of super glue did the trick.
@ThunderChicken Super glue (the cyanoacrylate variety) on inflatables makes my skin crawl. When the glue dries, even slightly flexing the vinyl will result in a large, nasty crack that’ll be difficult to properly repair!
@Kidsandliz@ThunderChicken If we’re talking about cyanoacrylate, there is no such thing as ‘flexible super glue’. What you want is a methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) based proper vinyl glue, such as Loctite vinyl repair adhesive. It’s available at many stores for about $3 per 1 ounce tube. Look for the blue card with an air mattress on it!
@Kidsandliz The Loctite vinyl glue is a godsend for repairing anything inflatable. You can use it by itself on small punctures, or use it in conjunction with cut vinyl patches for very strong, permanent, flexible, waterproof repairs on seams or larger holes.
Do these have a weight limit or something? I’m personally a bigger dude and so are lots of my friends and family incidentally so having a catastrophic failure on an air mattress or something when someone visits and having to scramble to replace it seems not ideal
@Twiminy 600 lbs., according to the specs at newegg. That’s probably the capacity before it bursts. Most of these things have a tendency to make the occupants roll to the center when near capacity. Maybe a good thing, maybe not.
Have you ever huffed the air that is released from these?
It made me think that I had a single large breast on one side. I was searching all over for a uni-boob bra with underwire support…Woke up choking on a pair of panties in the local Lane Bryant.

Ehh decent I suppose but these are old model beds, I bought one about 10 years ago. Seems like there are nicer ones now for around this price point.
@Stallion That’s a very nice way of asking meh why the hell they decided to stock these damn things.
@Stallion Agreed, I literally just bought one off Amazon yesterday that is nicer than this.
@Telanis Which one did you buy?
I’m pumped for tonight’s item!
Just want to say I have a couple of AeroBed brand beds and they never get complaints. That said I have a couple of these already…
A local sporting goods store has the double height air mattress at this price, or $10 cheaper, frequently.
The pump pulls air in, but it doesn’t push air out. Once used, the mattris will never go back in that bag.
@hchavers Is that true? If it is it COMPLETELY defeats the purpose. In that case I’d rather just buy a real mattress. lol
@gwrankin @hchavers you fold and roll em.
@gwrankin @hchavers No it’s not true, I have a few air mattresses like this for camping.
You just need to know how to break it down
You simply let the air out then force out any hidden air pockets by simply folding and rolling it
@ConcealedPsycho @gwrankin @hchavers And if needed kneeling or sitting on it while rolled to get the last of the air out.
It’s about as true as his ability to spell “mattris” (aka: mattress).

It’s $70 on ebay… https://www.ebay.com/itm/Aerobed-88123-Commercial-Grade-Inflatable-Air-Mattress-Queen/193204062227
Honestly searching around for air beds… Almost every other air mattress looks better.
Yay! More knives! oh…wait…
@tweezak I wonder if ‘commercial grade’ is knife resistant. I have so many knives from meh I couldn’t put the bed somewhere away from the knives.
@gwrankin not sure about these, but every aerobed I’ve ever purchased came with a patch kit… if that tells you anything.
@gwrankin @thismyusername Every single areobed I have owned I, eventually, have had to put in the bathtub to find where it needs patched. But then again I have cats so they might be to blame. That being said, leaks in air mattresses, including sleep number beds is not uncommon so I don’t think this is a “feature” of this just brand.
@ybmuG didn’t help set the clocks back.
@gwrankin If the last picture is any indication, I’d say not.
@tweezak
@gregormehndel YES!!! The baby arm is finally back on the payroll after a long absence.
How far can you throw this Aerobe… oh …d. Bed. Got it. Well, how far anyway?
Gonna have to sleep on this deal I think
90 day warranty - so I can return it after the holidays
@jmhsrv BINGO!! Nothing but the best for the in-laws mawshahahaha
Commercial quality? Who makes a living on these?
@radi0j0hn not the pros!
@radi0j0hn A back-alley hooker?
@ConcealedPsycho @radi0j0hn Only until it deflates
There is a space between “WAL” and “MART” in the price comparison box.
I expect an OHSHIT REPORT by the evening.
@Fej It has been months, perhaps years, since an OHSHIT REPORT has been posted. Instead of holding your breath waiting for that use your breath to inflate this mattress.
WTH is a “Commercial Grade Air Mattress”? I can only imagine the hotel that would use these.
@ThunderChicken I’ve stayed at that hotel. Not recommended …

@ThunderChicken Super glue (the cyanoacrylate variety) on inflatables makes my skin crawl. When the glue dries, even slightly flexing the vinyl will result in a large, nasty crack that’ll be difficult to properly repair!
@PooltoyWolf It worked. It was just a pinhole. What else can I say?
@PooltoyWolf @ThunderChicken What about flexible super glue? Would the same thing happen?
@Kidsandliz @ThunderChicken If we’re talking about cyanoacrylate, there is no such thing as ‘flexible super glue’. What you want is a methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) based proper vinyl glue, such as Loctite vinyl repair adhesive. It’s available at many stores for about $3 per 1 ounce tube.

@PooltoyWolf Thanks. I was using super glue as a short hand for quick drying. To know a specific brand that works is useful.
@Kidsandliz The Loctite vinyl glue is a godsend for repairing anything inflatable. You can use it by itself on small punctures, or use it in conjunction with cut vinyl patches for very strong, permanent, flexible, waterproof repairs on seams or larger holes.
You really need to look at the street view to get the texture and life of a place like Lingo, New Mexico:
Um, ok, never mind …
@stolicat Looks like someplace Tuco Salamanca would take a snitch to cut off their huevos and shove them down their throat.
@stolicat My grandfather grew up near there. His family farmed. He actually arrived there by covered wagon from Arkansas when he was a kid.
What’s a OH-SHIT REPORT please?
NO BABY ARM, NO
@PooltoyWolf I came here for this haha. I was like: “are we just gonna ignore the mattress murder baby?”
@the4rchanhel He’s scaring Fenris! Haha

And I was just happy that I guessed the item before clicking… YAY!!
Don’t need another one though. The kids sleep on the floor!
Amazon has one of these for the same price. uber-meh
Why is the background for this mattress an image of spermatozoa attempting to penetrate an ovum?
It arrived in exactly the right size of brown paper box!
