Portable air beds. Thumbs up or down?

Question

I noticed these 20" air beds in twin, full and queen sizes, priced $20 to $200 yesterday. Are they any good? What do they feel like? Do you wake up at 3am in a hammock? Good for many nights or just one or two?

Answer 1

they are very comfertable i just moved in and i bought them insteed of expensive regular beds it was so worth it

Answer 2

I own two Airbeds.   They are great for travel , camping, and company and kids sleepovers.    They are much more comfortable than the air beds of 30 years ago.      Mine come with integrated inflaters and do not lose air.   They are quick to deflate and easy to fold and store in an included storage bag.  

I would not buy one for a permanent mattress but they are great in a pinch.   I have had guests sleep on them for a week at a time as I have when camping.   My kids have slept on them for 2 weeks while traveling once.

Regarding brand, I can only vouch that Aerobeds are a quality product.   I spent about 100 each on mine about 5 years ago.  Not sure what the current price is.
