Someone said in the reviews that it’s difficult to plug without losing a lot of air. Not true at all. That person didn’t realize the plug has 2 pieces that come apart, you shouldn’t be blowing into it and only using the “quick release” plug. There’s a piece that allows you to blow it up without losing air so you can plug it, then it also fully unplugs to quickly release the air.
The instructions said 8 min blow up time which seemed excessive and wasn’t true at all. Now that I have tested it, I could probably blow up each piece and have it done in 3 minutes. I was shocked at how much power the pump had. At first I was confused because it wasn’t pumping, but the pump adapter definitely came attached to the wrong end of the pump and I was sucking in air. As soon as I switched it, each piece blew up almost instantly. Very nice.
Someone also mentioned you can’t really “slide” off of it. I planned to put sheets on it but I figured I’d discuss texture. It feels like a normal air mattress. Mostly rubbery but the top is that fake suede texture.
I also was concerned about the space between my front seats and back seats and what to fill there so my tall boyfriend could comfortably lay there. I had no idea it comes with a piece you can fill and stuff into that space! That was a bonus. I was worried about that and it solved that problem.
I also saw some people saying it wasn’t the most comfortable, which made me nervous about how thick it was. I like to not fill an air mattress completely so it has some extra cushion, and I was scared it would be so thin that if I didn’t fill it all the way that I would sink so far I could feel the solid “ground” it’s laying on. Not at all. It was surprisingly thick.
I was also concerned about the gap where it can fold and if me or my bf would be falling into that gap. Definitely not. I didn’t fill up the edge piece but if I did, the pieces would be so pushed together it’s like the gap isn’t even there. I didn’t test the pillows because I am bringing regular pillows but they did look tiny.
As for comfort, it feels like an air mattress. Some people complained about it, but it just felt like any other piece of thin rubber filled with air. I’ve slept on 2 foot thick air mattresses that felt no different than this one. It’s an air mattress. It’s not memory foam.
The pump is so convenient. I am using it for festival car camping and everyone was freaking out about their tent air mattresses needing a plug in pump. But it comes with a car pump that my friends can also use for theirs. It comes with 3 different sized adapters. I didn’t read instructions so I am not sure why, but I only needed one adapter.
I will be using it next week for 6 days in 80°F heat. I will update if it doesn’t hold up but I have faith it will. If you don’t see an update, it’s because it held up perfectly.
I could use this indoors if I had a regular pump that didn’t require a car. It’s pretty freaking nice. And for the price, score. It definitely exceeded expectations. And I only write good reviews when I am extremely satisfied. Most of my reviews are 90% bad. But I had to write this one. Very nice. It’s hard to make me give 5 stars but they deserve it.
