That video was incredible. Just so may lies and misdirections packed in.
500lb max weight with an 80lbs person on it, not shown plugged in but somehow inflating, someone folding the other end off-camera, non-US plugs, obvious down-blouse and butt shots.
So video says 500lb max weight, Meh listing as 750.
When flat and folded up, it appears to be about the size of a smallish backpack. Thus I’m debating getting one… don’t really need it, but it might be useful at some time in the future.
@baqui63 That when flat, it’s still the same length and width as it is inflated. Depth of course had reduced significantly.
Oh, folded! Yes I have a Coleman about the same size inflated and it’s backpack sized. Not something you’d want to use at a hike-to camp site, but car pull up no problem.
@mcanavino I have a pair of twin beds in my basement that are currently “bunked” to take less floor space. I’m considering this mattress so that when a couple visits no one needs to take the top bunk. Given the size of the deflated and folded mattress, it would not use a lot of space when not in use.
I’ll never forget when I got off from an inflatable bed and pulled a muscle. The lack of support was so brutal it took years to walk off that one moment.
I would sooner sleep in a car seat than in an inflatable bed.
I have rarely slept on a comfortable air mattress, but occasionally I have. Wish I could remember the brand. Worst thing is when they don’t hold air well.
@Mandamm Agree! I’ve come across a few descriptions of new ones recently that the mattress has pressure gauges that notice air loss so they can auto inflate as needed with a weaker (quiet) secondary pump! Now that’s a neat feature!
@heartny@pakopako The only trouble is 3.8 rating and currently unavailable. Oh wait. That is right up meh’s alley. You could be right for this being the next thing. The week is still young yet.
@IAMIS get a meh portable power station, plug in the mattress, add a meh desktop fan as a propellor or if you’re feeling safety minded use it normally for the world’s most underpowered fan boat, and you’re all set.
I just bought a very similar one from Costco that they were just closing out (new year model available right along side at over double the price). I did buy the pillows & sheet sets over the last couple days, with “just in case I need 'em” in mind. I’m under $100 for an emergency bed, pillows & sheets, so I don’t feel too bad.
Why all the emphasis on sleeping?? Do you realize that if you reach the age of 90 you’ll have slept away 30 YEARS of your life?? Too bad we humans have a necessary need for sleep because, man, imagine what you could have done being awake during those extra years!!

The only way the ‘full-blown’ pun train could have been any better is if it were a full size mattress.

@mcanavino Down-blouse shots? I usually don’t but maybe I’ll go watch it.
Edit: I didn’t notice any down-blouse shots, but the video did answer my question about the deflated size of the thing.
@baqui63 @mcanavino I don’t believe everyone gets to see the same videos, unless they watch ALL of them, and there apparently are a bunch…
@phendrick so you’re trying to get me to watch ALL THE VIDEOS, huh?
@baqui63 If you’re on the Meh forum, apparently you have nothing better to do.
@phendrick Tru dat
My question: What size is it when NOT inflated?
@baqui63 Still a queen size mattress, mate.
@baqui63 @mcanavino Certainly you’ve seen a flat queen before.
(Queen Latifah obviously not referenced here.)
@mcanavino And your point would be?

Yesterday’s sheets are too shallow for today’s air mattress.
@werehatrack I knew there was some reason I didn’t buy those.
@werehatrack Here are a couple of possibilities with decent reviews:
https://www.amazon.com/SULDUO-Mattress-Inflatable-Breathable-Protector/dp/B0CY28LC46/ref=sr_1_11
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Maybe more like a mattress “protector” than a sheet?
https://www.amazon.com/CGK-Unlimited-Luxury-Mattress-Breathable/dp/B0C5F6M196/ref=sr_1_10
Microfiber.
So far this week there were pillows, sheets and a mattress. My guess is tomorrow will be blankets or comforters.
@heartny Hmm… and the day after selling a bed partner?

@heartny @Kidsandliz “selling” … is renting a possibility?
@heartny @phendrick Meh doens’t rent items. You’d have to buy it through Morningsave and then return it for being “defective” in the return window.

@cinoclav To instill confidence in us that AI isn’t smart enough to take over the world. Computer Taqiyya.
@cinoclav Yes, was quizzically pondering the same question. Came to the conclusion that AI can be mildly entertaining in it’s stupidity.
@cinoclav Helps break the fall - any stunt man knows that.
@cinoclav one is punching his thigh, a 2nd left is on the right, and the face is … huh?
Built in pump? Don’t most people take their shoes off when they go to bed?
great for camping?
what do you camp in where you could fit a mattress with a 78"x60" foot print?
I guess one of those big ass “family” tents?
@ekw
Not to mention inside my dome tent I be smashed against the top
I assume where this has a built in pump, I can’t fill it up and float around on it on the lake?
@IAMIS
REALLY long extension cord ?
(Make sure you’re using an NFPA 70 code compliant outdoor circuit with a GFCI!)
@IAMIS get a meh portable power station, plug in the mattress, add a meh desktop fan as a propellor or if you’re feeling safety minded use it normally for the world’s most underpowered fan boat, and you’re all set.

/giphy WAKE UP!
@IndifferentDude The cats agree, except for the ones that want us to stay in bed so that they can snuggle with or on us.
@IndifferentDude Yeah - it would probably just be extra hours scrolling the internet, watching TV, nothing more productive than what you do already!
@IndifferentDude don’t calculate how much accumulated time is spent in the bathroom
@IndifferentDude @werehatrack
