Get Fit Air Bed with Built In Electric Pump – Premium Single Size – Blow Up Bed with Free Pillow – Elevated Inflatable Air Mattress for Outdoor, Camping, Tents – Black/Grey


AIR BEDAIR BEDair bedair bedair bedair bedair bed

Using your airbed for the first time.

It is common for the air bed to deflate slightly during the initial uses as the PVC material stretches into its natural shape. This does not indicate the item is faulty or has a leak.

What to do?

Simply top up the air bed with some more air using the electric pump.

Best practice.

We recommend inflating the air bed 2-3 hours before use and topping up before you go to bed if necessary. This will prevent you having to top it up during the night which can cause disturbance.

    I bought this when my husband had a nasty coughing virus so I could sleep comfortably in the lounge. It was exactly what I wanted, very comfortable & high enough to get up & down from. You DO need a fleece under sheet as the flocked surface is quite cold.

    Two people were sleeping a week on it. We had to top up only after the first evening, as it is not for people moving too much while they sleep. Overall good quality and easy for assembling.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI’m very impressed with this bed, it was so easy and quick to inflate/deflate. My friend was very comfortable on it. I followed the instructions, so inflated and deflated it a few times before using it and had no issues with loss of air for the whole weekend. I would definitely recommend both the product and the seller. It came very quickly and is nicely packaged.

    We had guests and no spare bed, bought this for them to stay for a week and my 77yr old mother wanted it and gave them her bed. She was super comfortable and cause of the height got out easily. She did say it was cold but put a blanket underneath her and she was all good

    We bought this inflatable mattress for when friends stay over and it certainly does the job. It’s extremely easy to inflate and deflate as long as you have a plug socket close by. A single fitted sheet fits perfectly on it, so you don’t need any special bedding. I did find that it deflates just a but overnight, but not enough to make it uncomfortable. Overall, a good buy.

    I’ve used this for 3 weeks whilst waiting for a new brew and I find it comfortable to sleep on. Yes, you have to occasionally top up the air but that’s no big issue
    I use a mattress topper on it just to make the surface warmer, and not to feel the ridges, but as a temporary measure, or occasional bed, I’d recommend i

    We’ve had a couple of Aerobeds and bought this to replace one that had failed. It had to be reinflated a couple of times but has now stayed really stable. We keep this at a property we visit at weekends and agree its the most comfortable one we’ve had.

    We have my sister in law staying while inbetween leases but our flat isn’t big enough for a spare room so we brought a blow up bed to go behind the sofa in the living room and a privacy screen for some privacy
    She has been using it constantly for a month and it hasn’t needed a pump up yet. We have topped it up as it isn’t perfectly solid but even that has only been once or twice
    If your wanting something for one night or camping with a power source then it’s great for the money.

    I have big hips that stick into every surface when lying on my side (and snore when on my back) so camping has always been full of restless night sleeps for me. I’ve tried practically every camping mattress and camp bed going. They are either too thin, too cold, too creaky or burst. So I bought this bed. Was more than I wanted to spend but thought I’d give it a try. I had a fantastic nights sleep. The bed is very easy to inflate, taking only a few minutes. After the first night, it did go down a bit but I’ve read that that is normal. It was comfortable and also very easy to deflate when finished with. Fantastic product that I would recommend

    Packs down so is stored easily. Takes minutes to inflate, is comfortable and at the height of a normal bed. a little bouncy and can slide about so better up against some walls and on carpet.

    I liked the fact I could also use a battery operated pump due to the fact we also wanted to use this product at places with no electric
    It does tend to deflate a little by the morning but nothing terrible

    So picked this bed after reviewing many others. Was a bit sceptical but shouldn’t have been.
    The built in pump is powerful and inflated the bed In minutes. Very comfortable to sleep on. I bought it for my kids to sleep on when they stay, they loved it. I even slept on it a few nights myself! Took it camping for a week too, be warned, takes a loooooong time to inflate with a battery pump. Even so, just needed topping up every other day and was unbelievably comfortable. If you’re looking for a decent good value inflatable bed. This is it!

    I only gave it a 4 cos I haven’t used it for long and don’t want to come back to try and
    give a negative review. Inflated within minutes-perfect. it didn’t go down at all for the 4 hours I left it inflated just to check, with my children lying on it- good. Overall it’s good, will serve its purpose, and hopefully last a long time

    I ordered the bed for a regular visitor and he said it’s the most comfortable inflatable bed he’s ever used. It takes under a minute to inflate and, because it’s so big, it’s very easy to manoeuvre to get comfortable. The only problem we’ve had is the smell when using it for the first time, especially when inflating it. Just remember to air it out before sleeping on it. We just left it outside for about half an hour.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersThe king size bed arrived quickly and after reading the simple instructions I plugged it into the wall and inflated in 3 minutes, 2 hours before I wanted to sleep like the instructions said. Just before going to sleep I inflated it for a further 1 minute.
    It was really comfortable and I slept well, also I didn’t feel any disturbance when my partner turned during the night. In the morning it was still inflated. I topped up inflating the bed by 1 minute the second and third night not because it had deflated but just as reassurance it was solidly filled and it was perfect every morning with no deflation.
    I read some peoples reviews and was worried to buy this bed but I was really happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this company. A week after buying it I received a nice email asking if I was happy with the bed and if not to respond to this email for them to fix any problems which was reassuring. I would definitely recommend this bed.

    I bought the single one for my daughter for our caravan because them tiny bunks just isn’t big enough for a person.
    She is over the moon with it, and it’s only needed a top up of air once in 3 months. She says it’s a very goods night sleep and even I’ve had a nap or two on it and it is comfy.
    Can’t say anything about the bigger sizes but the single has been great for us

    This is the first deep air mattress I have bought and it has made sleeping when camping a joy. No roll together, nice and stable and comfortable. It did go down very slightly the first night but actually made it even more comfortable with it being not so taut. I have an inverter so it goes up super quick plugged into the car and deflates down to nearly the same size when first opened. Love it.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersI have tried more than one blow-up bed before now and all of them have been a massive disappointment. So, when the necessity to buy a new one came up, which I had to share with my husband, I decided I would try to pay a bit more to get a better quality item. Although the price of this seems high, you do get value for money.
    The bed has a plug, so there is no energy needed to inflate it. Although quite noisy, it inflates quickly. Don’t blow it up just before getting into it though, as it settles, so you may need to add a bit more air, before sleeping on it. The instructions say to inflate it 2-3 hours before bedtime.
    Sleep quality? Great! Although the bed did deflate slightly (didn’t follow the instructions), it didn’t make a great difference to our sleep. My husband and I were comfortable and slept well. It was a king size, so there was no falling out of it either, which was good. Once we had our base sheet on and our quilt, it was just like sleeping in a real bed.
    I am glad I purchased this bed and I hope it lasts for years to come. A good quality product which I really recommend.

    Overall great inflatable mattress. The engine for inflation and deflation surprised me positively. A must buy for those of us living in flats that tend to receive visits from friends.
