We bought a Coleman double airbed just over a year ago. It's the one with two separate chambers meaning I don't bounce out when my wife turns over. It worked for us for a couple of trips but now one side slowly deflates overnight. It obviously has a small split but I can't find it. I've had it in the bath but no air comes out.

Anybody else had the same problem? I wonder whether I over pumped it (although I just made it firm) and our combined weight and movement split a seam or valve.

Before I invest in a new one for 2008 just wanted to get some thoughts and - also - whether we should go for the same again. If so, who has the best price?

Thanks.

We've had a couple of punctures in ours too but still wouldn't swap it.  It's more comfortable than any other airbed we've had before.  If you persevere you will find the puncture and should be able to repair it.

I agree with daisybev, that's what warranty is for.

We've never had any probs with ours and have tried several of the Coleman models (just fussy!).

Best of luck with it.

Have to agree, I bought two last year at easter and on the first trip one just kept going down, took it back to Go Outdoors and they changed it without any problems.

Hi Nellie.
We had one that the special valve started to leak, and Coleman exchanged it with no bother.

Make sure it is a warranty cliam befor you return it, After all a puncture is just that not a cause for a return. I had a puncture in a car tyre once and would not have returned it to quick fit wanting a new tyre

We use the cheapest airbeds going and we make sure to buy singles not doubles.  When we inflate ours we make sure that we do not over inflate!  We make sure that when inflated our fist can push down into the matress and almost touch the floor if not touch all the way. 

If your air mattress is inflated properly it will not be firm to the touch but will be when you lay on it.  Larger adults should only be a few inches off the ground when on the air matress.  Your air mattress should last years!

Had the same problem 2 years ago. The split was where the flocked upper surface was welded to the pvc material. A devil of a problem to find.

Exchanged mine under the 2 year guarantee with Outdoor Megastore. They even shipped it to the campsite in Cornwall we were staying at that particular summer. Good job as I had spent several very uncomfortable nights on a deflating airbed!

However,love the Coleman Comfort and wouldn't swap it for anything.

Thanks for all the advice. Just wanted to update you and write a Herogram on this site.

It was a leaking valve. Coleman confirmed they offer a 2 year guarantee. Outdoormegastore.co.uk agreed. Both were polite, professional and great to deal with. In less than a week we have a replacement mattress. Now that's great service.

Wanted to let you know and publicly thank them.

Neil

That's right. We're always quick to complain - but I think it's important to make an effort to praise too. Sadly, it's not something you have an opportunity to do that often.
