Tools and Hardware Reviews of AeroBed Sleep Tight Inflatable Bed for Kids
Customer Review: Worth it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I debated whether to recommend that family members purchase these for my kids (2 and 4) as a place to sleep during our out of town visits; the cost compared to a basic twin air mattress was my greatest concern. But having just used them for the first time this weekend, I can now attest that this is a great product that does offer something significantly different from your typical twin air mattress. They blow up in NO TIME, deflate in NO TIME, come with their own pump (super easy to use) and soft cover that actually stays on, and of course, they also have the "rails" that, for the most part, keep kids in (although my youngest rolled out twice the first night, but he's just transitioning to a bed and still has his "move everywhere" crib mentality. The 4 year old stayed in just fine). But most important to me, these mattresses are small enough to fit in tight spots while still able to accomodate my kids for a long while. I'm just over 5' tall, and I could sleep on this if I didn't mind my feet dangling over the edge a bit. The only negative thing I might say about them is what others have mentioned -- they do make a little "squeaky" noise when kids move around/roll over, but nothing uncommon to air matresses, honestly. If you're sleeping in the same room with a very active kid sleeper and you're a light sleeper yourself, though, it could be an issue.Customer Review: Worth Every Penny!
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this inflatable bed for our son prior to a two-week trip to India. He's too big for a pack-n-play, but still not big enough to sleep on his own in an adult bed. Plus, we wanted to avoid the hassle of carrying a large travel bed all the way across the world.
We inflated the bed for a test run a few weeks before our departure date and our son loved it so much he chose to sleep in the Aerobed instead of in his fire-engine shaped toddler bed that we paid more than twice as much for! It's super easy to inflate - literally takes less than 30 seconds - with the very powerful pump. Also super easy to deflate, fold and store. The sheet that comes with it is soft and makes the bed more comfortable than just sleeping on the vinyl would be. It's extremely durable - made it around the world and back without a single problem - and very comfortable for our son.
The raised sides are just enough to keep him from rolling out on the floor but not so high that he feels like he's in a "baby bed." The carry duffel makes it easy to keep the bed, pump and sheet all together in one spot.
While I thought the price tag was high when we bought it, our son has had such great rest on this bed that I now feel it was worth every penny. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-use, sturdy and comfortable travel bed.
Customer Review: Saw bad reviews after I ordered, but shipped bed is great
Summary: 5 Stars
It really concerned me after I had already ordered this bed to see reviews where others had problems with the bed being too noisy and disrupting sleep, with the pump sometimes being reported as damaged upon arrival, and with others reporting customer service from the aerobed company as being difficult to deal with.
Good news for me though, because the aerobed for kids that arrived from my order appears to be in perfect condition. The hand held pump is so easy to use, and airs up the bed as fast as was reported in the sales literature. The bed seemed to hold the inflation without any readily apparent subsequent, unwanted deflating.
The printed mattress pad is pretty, but I did notice how it made a noticeable, but not offensive, hiss sound when rubbed. Still I am hoping that sound will not occur when a sheet is used to cover the pad. Also, no matter how I attempted to make the bed squeak with applied pressure and movement; no squeaks could be heard.
One other warning review I saw suggested that the bed be aired out before use due to strong odors emitting from these beds when they have just recently been acquired. Still the bed I received shipped to me emitted no noticeably offensive odor.
I am now happy to know none of those other's reported problems occurred for me.
Customer Review: portable, easy to use, and sturdy.

An excellent product for our family. We bought this for a long trip with our two-year old. It came in extremely handy when staying with friends, and even in a few hotels where a "child's bed" in the room turned out to be a Pack and Play. The "well" shape encouraged our active sleeper to stay in place throughout the night...but I wouldn't recommend it if your child is not yet transitioned out of a crib. It is definitely not going to keep a little one in bed! It comes with its own pump and fitted flannel cover sheet. Plug in the pump and inflate in about 1 minute! Easy as can be. It deflates quickly too, and the whole thing fits in a duffle bag to carry it. I'd say the whole ensemble weighs around 10 pounds, so take that into account if you're stuffing it into your suitcase for a flight as we did. The mattress is about 6 pounds on its own - it is definitely built to last, which is a good thing since our little angel has already dismantled a few other inflatables. Highly recommended for an active 2/3-ish to probably 10 or 11 year old. A much better choice for us than many of the other inflatable beds we considered previously - most of those were pretty flimsy by comparison, and we'll be using this one a long time. She actually got home and wanted to sleep in this once more at home before going back to her "Big Girl Bed"Customer Review: Very useful portable bed
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Aerobed in mid-2008 for use on trips by our then older toddler. After almost 3 years of use, I'm now finally selling it. Happy to be decluttering. :-) The bed has held up really well. Just make sure your kids don't jump on it. It seems a bed on the floor is too inviting for little kids. :-)
What I love about this:
- quick and easy inflation with included pump. My kids (and I) were intrigued at how quickly this bed inflated -- less than a minute, I believe, and not too noisy either.
- super fast deflation.
- rolls up easily into its own carry bag
- soft flannel cover
As a handy tip, when travelling, to protect the mattress in the carry bag, I placed the mattress in a spare pillow case (I have plenty of those around) and the pump in bubble wrap to protect the mattress. This way I prevented a possible flat mattress at my destination!
My older child was a good toddler sleeper on it; my younger one is a wanderer.
All in all, it's a great portable bed when travelling or when young kids are sleeping over. I give this 5 stars.
PS - I have now sold this to another mom (April 2011). She loves Aerobeds for her family.
