Aerobeds - yeah or nay?

[newkid]

I need an extra spare bed. I've just been looking at the aerobed site and their beds look fab - almost like real beds. Does anyone have one - are they good? I was thinking about a futon but I think this is a much better option for occassional 'extra' guests.

Yeah, I say. We've got a mattress style one that we sleep on when the inlaws visit. It's v.comfy and actually goes back into the duffle bag supplied without the aid of a crowbar so is really good to store . Once it's up we rarely have to bother reinflating it. I think it's a false economy to buy a cheap blow up bed for adults to sleep on - my inlaws did and they've been through 2 already in the same time that we've had ours.

We got one of the triple layer ones from Ebay. It's fab and dead comfy. Comes with a built in pump and inflates in 3 minutes. It looks like this.
