"Our AeroBed is fantastic. Really easy to put up (and fun too, the kids love it!) and unbelievably comfortable, people actually fight now over who gets to sleep in it, much better than the sofa. We'd recommend it to anyone, and have!"
Lisa Mangan, London
"I was given this bed last year and now I can't imagine how I ever coped without it! It really does inflate in less than a minute, it's amazingly comfortable and best of all it's easy to deflate and pop back into the bag in the morning. I only have one spare room for guests at home but with the AeroBed I can now have twice as many people staying round as before. I also take it with me when I travel and am planning to buy a king size for my in-laws this Christmas. Top marks!"
Jamie Robinson, Northampton "Who said making the bed was a chore? Is it full of air or bubbles - it is so comfortable!"
Rachel Morgan, Norwich
