I originally ordered this air bed for guests to use, but due to certain circumstances, I'm now forced to use it every night. After a couple nights of sleeping on it, I'd say it's quite comfortable; it's not as good as sleeping on a real $1,000 mattress, but it sure beats sleeping on the floor! The only thing is that you have to get used to sleeping along the vertical chambers of air that the bed uses to support your body when it is fully inflated. Once your back becomes used to it, the mattress is great. However, I do have a couple of notes.
1. When you first get the mattress, you will experience what feels like air loss, however, it is just the mattress stretching out with use. Even if you pump enough air into the the mattress to make it firm, it will become a bit softer by morning during the "break in stage." This is because the mattress is stretching out, and after a couple nights of this, you shouldn't lose any air.
2. If you lose a lot of air in a night, for example, you go from firm to having your body touch the floor through the mattress by morning, or in a couple of hours, it could mean that your air valve is not closed tightly enough. After the first couple uses, you will have to tighten the air valve VERY well. Tighten the valve as much as possible, even when you think it's tight enough. Also, make sure the valve isn't put on crooked when you tighten it, this will let air escape if one side is higher than the other. I made the same mistake of just tightening it and thinking, "well that seems tight enough." Wrong! Air still escapes unless you tighten it fully. For a couple days I found my bed halfway deflated by morning. After inspecting the bed, I found no air leaks or holes. So I thought to myself, "eh, maybe I should just tighten it until it's extremely hard to turn the valve," so I did. I've been making sure to tighten the valve fully, and I no longer experience any air loss between nights. Also, watch out for the pop in cap, it can go in snugly, but that doesn't mean it's pushed in all the way. Even when I turn the valve until it absolutely turn anymore, if I accidentally leave the cap not pushed in all the way, I still lose air. You'll see what I mean if you buy it.
I hope these tips help you. This is a great bed, it doesn't feel cheap, but it has a great price! Oh, and if it helps, I'm a 200 pound dude, so don't worry about being too heavy, you're probably lighter than me. One more thing, this bed doesn't come with a pump, so I suggest you purchase a battery powered or electrical air pump on amazon to come along with it. I forgot about the air pump, so I ended up going to Target. I paid around $26 for the air pump over there, you can probably find one on here for cheaper.
