We have just returned from a ten day holiday in Dorset (lovely!). Unfortunately our Aerobed Active deflated 3 times a night (not so lovely!). The bed is not even 3 years old yet and it was £75, we've used it for 2 ten day breaks, a couple of long weekends and about 10 weekends.  Has anyone else experienced any similar problems? The guarantee is only 1 year but I have written to Aerobed anyway to see if there is anything they can do.

Got an email back from Aerobed today, they are going to send a replacement air release valve free of charge, great service, just hope it works!

Nothing is fail safe, i love my Aerobed Active and compared to the ones ive tried in the past you were lucky if they lasted a few nights and usually turfed in the bin on leaving camp.

Nice to know Aerobed didnt just ignore you as its out of warranty.

Mine is great most of the time, but every now and then loses a little bit of air during the night, and in these cases, I find next morning, that the little rubber gasket/seal in the cap has come adrift.  It is very fiddly to put it back in place, but once its in, it is air tight again.  I'm wondering about glueing the gasket in but don't want to invalidate the guarantee.

I'll let you know in a few days once I've received the valve!!

To Angelsis68 - did the new valve resolve the problem??

Thanks for all your replies

Hmmmnph!

I've purchased some £15 airbeds that were reduced to £4 odd (including the G O disc card reduction) and, though I've not tried them yet, I was experiencing buyers remorse & planning to replace them with the Aerobed Active. I don't think I'll bother now.

This forum's invaluable for this kind of info.
