 Coleman Quickbed with MP3 Speakers and Built-In 4D Pump (Queen) By: Coleman Average Rating: 3.5 Total Reviews: 3 More Information A great airbed for those who love music  On: 2008-08-02For anyone who needs to listen to music in bed, this is the perfect air mattress for you. With built in ipod speakers, there is no reason to bring expensive ipod speakers with you--this bed has them. This bed is queen sized, which can be a problem if you are going camping and your partner isnt. In fact, I probably will be giving my bed away to my married brother because its just too big for my upcoming camping trip--it wont fit into the tent Im buying. As a single layer bed, you are a little close to the ground--which can be a problem for some and may or may not meet your needs. And during the night, you may need to turn the built in air pump on one or two times because, like many air beds, it does lose air sometimes. But what gives it a four star rating is the built in speakers, the built in air pump, and the easy deflation. These are the conveniences that separate this air bed from a basic coleman air bed of the same size and dimensions and why you want to buy this one. Most air beds leak some. And of course I clearly need a twin size air bed to fit in the tent Im buying. But what got me to buy this was the air pump and ipod speakers and these work extremely well. The music quality is quite good from the speakers and its a good value over buying a separate ipod music system to fall asleep to. For that alone, I reccomend this product. Not bad but it wears out after awhile.  On: 2008-06-25We have used this product for over a year - several times for camping, and other times for people who slept over at our home. At first, it was a really good bed but over time, it quickly disintegrated. The speaker went out first, the pump was not pumping as fast or as effectively, and finally, there were leaks. I cant complain too much because it lasted for awhile and we paid only $40 at the time. At final count, this puts us at approximately $3 each night before it went to air mattress heaven. Not bad. I got enough use out of it to make that purchase worth while. Still, I think I will move on to something sturdier and less likely to fall apart after a year (and past that warranty, no less!). So So On: 2007-07-18I used this once so far for camping, and am now looking for an alternative. The air pump is a bit weak - it fills and deflates quickly, but isnt powerful enough to really firm the mattress up. I found that I needed to run the pump for a bit each night to keep at least some pressure in it. I havent used the built in speaker (notice I used the singular, not the plural) yet, but purchased that feature for the kids - who this mattress is best suited for. |
