Having bought the £34.99 Argos Double raised airbed with AC pump and inflated it. (Very comfortable indeed). The instructions say do not bounce on it which has greatly amused the other half. To what degree is bouncing a problem? I did notice that one good turn not only gets all the blankets, but potentially reduces my life expectancy as she falls off the edge.

Has anyone else had bought this item?

Hi Rowan/melian

Do let me know how you get on so I can be prepared for the worst, you are out before me,I shall take single airbed just in case I get the order of the boot.

Can someone tell me if this airbed from Argos can only be inflated by plugging into an electricity socket or can it be inflated using one of those electric pumps that plug into the cigarette holder in the car.  I would love one of these beds and looked at it today in Argos but it appears to me that you need to be near mains electricity to blow it up.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Donna,

I can definately confirm that the argos bed will inflate with a 12v car ciggie lighter plug pump. That was our  concern too so it was the very first thing we tested when we got ours home.

 It inflated faster on the 12v than it did on the 240v. but be warned that the 12v pump adapters are smaller than the supplied mains ones.  Combining the adapters from both pumps solves the problem.

THE RESULTS

Being king size, it just fits into the 3 berth sleeping compartment of our sunncamp, it's about the same height of a normal divan which is great It remained inflated all weekend even with a pair of non lightweights doing some vigiourous bouncing ... (well...how else could we get on and off the darned thing if it filled the sleeping tent?)

 For value for money, comfort and the fun factor, we give it 10/10.
