We received this 4 days ago and has been inflated for 4 days without any air escaping. We use it camping inside a tent and It is very comfortable.
There is a ridge halfway down the valve. If the valve is pushed into the hole only as far as the ridge, the airbed will lose air quickly or the valve may simply pop out. (I got two replacements for this airbed before I figured this out.) I'm certain this issue explains some of the negative reviews, which is why I tried to make the headline on this review stand out -- I'm hoping others will avoid the frustration of thinking their airbed is defective when it actually isn't. More details below about how to inflate the airbed in such a way that it doesn't lose air quickly.
Putting it (fairly) briefly: pull open the thing on top of the valve; pull the valve out of the hole -- or leave it in (I think you leave the valve in if you're using the pump that you can purchase specifically for this airbed; with the Coleman pump I'm using, I pull the valve out); inflate the airbed; if you pulled the valve out, push it all the way into the hole -- past the ridge at the halfway point and all the way in (there's a little sound when you've pushed it all the way in, but do a visual check to make sure) -- or if you didn't pull the valve out, make sure it's pushed all the way in; push closed the thing on top of the valve.
Now, for the more detailed description, I'm going to use the terminology used on the box the airbed comes in. First of all, if you've only opened the valve cap (the circular thing on top of the valve housing with a little "handle" that allows you to pull it up to open it) when you've inflated the airbed and you've left the valve housing in place, the issue of the valve housing possibly being only halfway in may not be relevant for you. At any rate, if your airbed is losing air quickly, it's worth it to check to see if the valve housing is now pushed all the way in. As I said above, there's a ridge halfway down the valve housing. Previously, I had been trying to push the valve housing into the exhaust hole with the valve cap in place and I was able to push it in only as far as the ridge. Once I "separated the valve cap from the valve housing" (the first instruction on the box, which I wish I'd paid more attention to earlier) before inflating the airbed, I was able to push the valve housing all the way into the exhaust hole once I'd inflated the airbed (and then I pushed the valve cap closed immediately after that to prevent air from getting out), and now the airbed isn't losing air quickly.
And regarding the issue of the valve housing popping out, I'm pretty sure that only happens if the valve housing isn't pushed all the way into the exhaust hole.
The most important feature is no bedbugs!! Unlike OTHER air mattresses this air bed stays inflated much longer. Thank you.
Comfortable, 5 1/2 inches easy to pump with electric pump takes second no smell nice firmness just over pump because will not last long if you do that. Medium performance. Does not come with Pump .
Perfect air mattress for my 9 year old. We used this for 4 nights while we stayed in a hotel room and we never had to re-inflate it. It's a great mattress!
Easy use, well made.
I can only give a 3 because I have only used it once so far. To be fair I slept on this every night for 2 weeks while I waited for my things to be shipped across the country to my new apartment. I wait to give more because it’s usually the second or 3rd time I go to use it and now there is a seam issue.. so I we will see..
Okay I got this thinking it would not make it to be honest. I went camping and knew that this trip was going to be more active. With that being said I left my more expensive Coleman at home not wanting to damage it. Will I replace the Coleman with this air mattress it was tested so hard that the other campers that watched us set up camp where sure it was going to fly away with the wind or get popped on the rocks under the tent where we went camping its was not the easy climate than adding two adults on that matter lead to a game of are we sleeping in the car. This lead up to any test that came its way and it’s still alive 10/10 would get again also it was added to the others camp list also so that being said it made it the weekend and no one slept on rock or in a car

Due to back/shoulder issues, I have slept on an air mattresses nightly for many years. Pillow style mattresses always inevitably develop a leak around one of the pillow seams where my shoulder digs in....impossible to repair. This does not happen with beam style mattresses, but inevitably one of the vinyl strips creating the beams will let loose due to fatigue and rip internally, creating a hot dog effect. Durabeam mattresses do not do this since the beams are formed with many strong fibres instead of a strip of vinyl. That said, if this or any air mattress was made out of better material akin to that used in quality inflatable watercraft, I would spend the extra money and get one. Until that happens, durabeam technology is at least a step in the right direction.
