Bought x5 of these last year, and have used for a total of 7 nights and 3 are leaking to destruction, and it appears to be manufacturing / design flaw rather than puncture or misuse (so will be taking this up with retailer).

Has anyone similar experience of rubbish airbeds?

Can anyone recomment a decent brand / model of airbed that will bring back the joy of camping?!

Oh dear,just bought one of these.not had a chance to try it yet-should i even bother?

guess i'll carry on using my coleman comfort airbed which really is "excellent"

Ah the good ol airbed deflating game

I started off with tesco cheapy airbeds, then used a 5-in-1 sofa as a bed - both deflated

Now I have a aerobed.........so far so good

But I am not holding my breath lol

I bought the HiGear flocked airbed at Go Outdoors a couple of months ago when it was on special, it was only £12 or something, and it is FABULOUS.

Have never had to add extra air to it the following morning like I usually have to do with other beds - I'm used to "topping" them up each night before bed - this one did 4 nights and didn't leak a bit, very impressed, I'd definitely buy another!

We originally bought  a pair of Campingaz doubles.  And spent more time finding and repairing leaks than we did lying on them.

We eventually decided that we'd had enough Blue Peter style fun cutting out little scraps of plastic and glueing them, and moved onto a pair of Intex ones.

Now I'm bored as I only get to blow them up and deflate them. The valves on the Intex ones are also infinitely better than the Campingaz ones.
