Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if they have had problems with these beds, I have had 3 now and they all leaked. I bought them on reccommendation as I like the seperate chambers, when they work they are great but I have found that they leak some on the first use. I have mastered the valve as it's only one side that goes down but I am beginning to think I should just buy cheap beds and replace them when they burst.

Maybe someone could reccommend their favourite beds for camping, I am a fan of coelman but am starting to lose heart and confidence.

We have had a few of the lower cost ones - didnt last long.

Bought the coleman comfort this year and used it for 2 weeks solid - and 1 weekend - no problems.

Could you be over inflating ??? - just a thought.

Pain in the at at at when your airbed needs pumping every day !! hope you get sorted.

I wonder if over inflating it would cause it to go down?

If anyone has the answer let me know, please!

I hope it is something as simple as that because I do like the bed.

I didn't think you could over inflate the colman. The valve stops the air going in once the bed is fully inflated. We have had our Colman for two and a half seasons and it has been fine. We had a Millets own make air bed before that and I must say it was also very comfortable. It was the one with the built in pump. In the end the pump split, nothing wrong with the bed but then I couldn't pump it up.
