This Bed Went Viral Online, So I Tried It Out
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2024
- After seeing viral videos of this bed on TikTok and Snapchat, I picked one up for myself to see if it's as good as they suggest. Also the foam addition was actually a mattress topper, not a mattress pad, so I acknowledge my error before the UA-cam police unleash their wrath on me.

Dear UA-cam police, I plead guilty to using the term 'mattress pad' instead of 'mattress topper' in my video. I kindly ask for your leniency. 😅🙏
What's wrong with mattress pad??
In other words, you used the right phrase? The nerve smdh
I've wondered about this bed also? What do you really think? I wanna know...
mabe the double is specific for 2 ppl for it to touch the floor.. mabe the same for a single inflatable untill you lay on it then all feet touch the floor?
You need to thest the EMOPET. it is the smartest little robot pet out there. It's insane how smart and how much interactive he is.
This is the bed you break out when you don't want company to stay for too long😂
For when "mother-in-law" comes to visit, eh?
@@Steve_in_NJ exactly! ;)
@@Steve_in_NJ I would have given my MIL a nice bed. But my BIL and his wife -- they'd get this one. Definitely!
@@TamarLitvot also gotta breakout either the fattest or the flattest pillow.
HILARIOUS! Thanks for the great chuckle! Have some "fine relatives" that visit us, who would definitely be getting this bed while they're visiting. 😄.
This is why I always use you as my go to guy for all products I am thinking but buying. Because no one is paying you to lie about them. You always give 100% honest reviews.
Yeah. I bet a Futon bed would be miles and miles better than this and that setup can cost less than this one.
@@MrMega200 Right! You could tell just by looking at it that it was not going to be comfortable to sleep on. A sleeping bag on the floor would of probably been better lol
Given the high price tag, I'm surprised the makers didn't put more effort into making this product more comfortable. This is obviously the one you drag out when you don't want guests to stay too long! 🤣🤣
Gotta have a topper for any sort of long term use.
There's not much you can do to make an inflatable mattress more comfortable. They're not meant for permanent use.
The mattress might have stored better if, as it was deflating, the outer edges were tucked in, like they were at the beginning.
Of course, none of that excuses the lack of comfort.
Thank you for your fearless and reliable reviews.
I have a very similar bed I use for camping, it does not self inflate but it has a mattress and a stand like this one you demonstrated. After a few uses it made an incredible squeaking noise any time we moved on it, it sounded like an orchestra of farts.
I can make myself sound like an orchestra of farts without the air mattress!
Oh, the symphony of farts. One of the beds I slept in not too long ago was a regular bed, but it did make quite a noise as I tossed and turned. Yes, it farted all night. 🤣🤣🤣
I am watching this because I am searching for a new camp bed. Our last camping trip was plagued by our air mattress leaking. I personally want to go to two twins.
I have a Coleman B.Y.O.B as well/same concept. I ended up cutting some plyboard to size with holes to tie down to the frame.
@@lilolmecj @brbadventurer did a review of the Coleman BYOB for camping.
This is why I like your reviews. You're honest and you really use the thing to try it out from opening to closing. Can you try a robot vacuum? I've always wondered how well they work and how often they need to be cleaned out and stuff.
I bought an EZ-Bed almost 15 years ago, we had the same issue with comfort, my in-laws who were sleeping on it bought a topper as well. I had no issues putting it back at the end though, it was always easy. I ended up building a murphy bed from a kit and lumber/plywood and put a good mattress, sure it's more expensive, but as it was never leaving the home the easy carrying wasn't that much of a benefit for us.
I love the wheels and case idea. I think most big tents and air mattresses should have one. It's definitely a bed to build on. Maybe in a few years there will be a better one, but it will cost double by then 😥
Thank you, James, for reviewing this one. I've been wanting one for years since I saw it on some sort of ad. Now I know that a regular air mattress is still the better choice over the "convenience" of this one.
Yeah, just a regular self-inflating mattress + separate folding bed frame is so much better combo.
Although from my previous experience I would recommend one of those tall (around 40cm) self-inflating mattresses, since they don't need to be put on any bedframe. I've had one of those metal folding bed frames and after like 2 uses it started to creak every time you did even a slightest of movements so I quickly got rid of it
We have had one of these for years now and find it great. Good size and you can adjust the comfort level very easily. So simple to operate the hardest part is getting it out of the attic. One of the bestbuys we have made.
Thank you so much for keeping it real. I can't stand these Tik Tok "reviewers" that are just in it for a cash grab. I always come and search your channel to see what products are really like.
Being as I'm sort of "The Princess and the Pea" when it comes to comfort... I'm glad I watched your review... I would HATE that thing... and sleep would never happen for me on something like that...
I LOVE that bed spread! That’s GORGEOUS!
Hey cool, I had one of these same beds! It worked great until the area around the inflation part broke out of nowhere so it only stayed inflated for 30 minutes then you were in a hammock 🤣
Every so often, we get a glimpse of just how tall you really are. It should not take someone of your impressive size to repack a bed which is supposed to be pretty much self-storing.
This is one of those really great ideas which, properly executed, could have been great. Instead, they froze their mattress technology back in the 1970s.
If they updated to the current air mattress configurations and fixed the minor frame/storage issues, I think this could be a winner.
Really appreciate your honest reviews. I had considered getting one, now? Nope.
I believe he's said before that he's about 5'11, so not really a large man.
For $350 you can get a decent sized memory foam mattress... sure it won't be as portable going forward but, surely much more comfortable. I guess this thing would only be good for if you are staying at someone's home for awhile who doesn't have a 2nd bed for you. I guess. Thanks for the review.
Fun watching it fold up, at least as far as it went. Those things never fit back in the box. And now you have to store the mattress top somewhere….
I've had one of these for more than 10 years. Mine came from Frontgate, and I suspect ones on Amazon aren't as good quality. I love mine. Still comfy, still fully functional, zipper on case still works. 10 out of 10. One thing people who aren't used to it do that makes it not as comfy is they don't inflate it enough. I have never had any issue with stability. It's not uneven in the least. I use a nice mattress pad (the kind you can launder, not a topper.)
This is the bed I set up for my elderly mom who has had 2 hips and a knee replaced and has difficulty getting in and out of bed.
I also have several air mattresses and a collapsible frame, and those are 10x more difficult to set up and take down, they aren't as compact, and they eventually poke a hole in every air mattress.
My Aerobed mattress has the same divets and bumps and they are not comfortable. It probably has something to do with how air matresses take the weight. I used the aerobed with a mattress topper, when I visited my Dad. What I hated most was getting up off the floor even though it was one of the taller mattresses. Having a bed frame would definitely make it easier to get in and out of bed. I think a mattress topper is always necessary with these type of air mattresses.
Could you do a comparison and review for different sleep masks? There’s several on Amazon that are different styles and offer different benefits. Would be cool to see which ones work better in terms of comfort, light blocking, sleeping in bed (side sleep/regular sleep) vs sleeping while sitting i.e. on a plane, etc. Been a subscriber viewer for a long time and your videos are always interesting and entertaining even if I’m not looking to buy the item you’re reviewing. Keep up the awesome work!
The stuff that nightmares are made of - a caterpillar human eating machine.
We bought this 5-10 years ago, I don't know if the mfg is the same, but our guests liked it after we used after a topper. Our version doesn't have the leg issues and it packs away easily
I love ur unbiased reviews! You tell it how it is
Thanks for the demonstration and honest review. I was hoping this might work for a van build to save space.
Interesting to see actual reviews of the viral and TikTok products
You should have just done the mattress topper on the floor and seeing if that was better than the air up mattress.
I'm willing to bet it was.
I was hoping he would do that comparison. 😊
In my experience, most air mattresses will deflate somewhat overnight the first couple times they're used, due to the plastic stretching out from its factory shape. To me the big problem with this type of bed is that it would be harder to detect and patch a real leak if one were to develop because you can't flip the mattress around easily. It's a shame too because it would be a great solution for guests who have difficulty getting up off an air mattress on the floor.
Never had good luck with them after months of daily use. Always leak.
I use this at my parents apartment. We’ve been thru so many air mattresses and they’ve all broke after a few days. This thing is just a god send, it gives much better support than a regular one, and it’s pretty darn comfy too. The legs aren’t the best but it gives a great experience for what it is
I love this mattress....I have the queen size, and I don't have the difficulty as you show of folding it up after deflating. I do agree that this mattress might be hard for some people to sleep on because of the valleys but I beleive its designed this way for deflation purpose. Overall I am able to have good night sleep. The topper does eliminate the feeling of the valleys. I love that it has it own frame as I prefer not to be on the ground. Its is a little pricy but it easy and fast to set up and to put away ( at least for me).
I wondered how comfortable le this would be. Thanks for the review
We have a queen self inflating air mattress and a separate foldable bedframe that cost less than half that much. I do put a foam topper on it for the comfort of my guests. We slept on it for several nights when we moved from Ohio to Tennessee and it was quite comfy with the 3" foam topper. We still prefer our full-wave hard side waterbed though. 🙂
We had a similar air bed years ago. It did not expand on its own like this one. You had to open up the frame (very much like one of those folding lawn chairs). On top of the frame there was a zippered compartment that you would slide the mattress into once inflated. It was a relatively comfortable bed, but the setup and takedown was a bit tedious, and it was very difficult to get everything back into the bag.
I have one of these beds, and have been using it over a year. I LOVE IT! I have back and hip problems and an air mattress is the only type of mattress I can sleep on comfortably. I did purchase a foam mattress pad/topper for even more comfort. I feel it was a very good investment.
I just use two inflatable mattresses one on top of the other (with a rug pad in between them to keep the top one from sliding). If one springs a leak, it's cheap to replace. I don't have the ones with a built-in pump. I use a cheap comforter under the fitted sheet for comfort and to keep from feeling the plastic.
Smart idea
Great review, thanks James!❤
A mattress topper or a sponge top layer is always great for comfort. Good mattress have such a layer built in, so to buy that for the air mattress I thought not unreasonable. Good review, as usual.👏
Always entertaining and informative...thank you!
Appreciate your dedication!
We had one of those years ago from Sharper Image. What you do is put a 2 or 3 inch foam mattress topper on top. We were always told they couldn't tell it was an air mattress.
The whole point of the inflatable was to turn a room that was used for something else into a temporary bedroom so, yes, the mattress topper as to the cost, but all in all, it's way better than a futon, I feel. And way better than an inflatable on the floor.
"Easy to put away" + the mattress pad, that also needs place for storage...
I love your honest reviews. 🥰 You've saved me a lot of money, over the years. Thank you🌹
Hmm... I'm not sure if this will help, but when the bed is deflating, try to gently push the frame to compact it. Maybe it'll help to get more air out of the mattress so you can store it easier in the bag.
Thank you for reviewing this item. I'm a huge camping fan. But as my age progresses, sleeping on the ground has been deterring me from going camping the last couple of years. When I saw this a few months back I was going to get it but wanted to wait to see how the reviews were. The putting away seems too much for me to warrant to purchase it. Now I am on the hunt for an alternative.
Thank you for your honest review! 😃
This is the bed you break out when you don't want company to stay for too long! 😆
Another thing not shown is that the unit with the mattress pad will not be nearly so compact. The mattress pad may actually be larger than the mattress when stored. The mattress is doing very little anyway once you add a 3" pad. Buy a thicker foam pad and sleep on the floor.
Aww man I was interested in this! Thanks for the review!
I bought a queen size air bed and while it's wonderfully comfortable it's a job to get it back to a manageable size. I was moving into a new apartment so was able to use the shelves to my bookshelves to flatten it each time but it took three days to do it nicely. Something that deflated and had it's own storage is appealing.. right now mine is sitting over under my desk while I figure out where and how to store it.
Well done video!! Always love watching you!!
You'll never run out of products to test if u make "True or False Tik Tok Reviews" a series on ur channel (just pick a better name than that, lol) I've seen several Amazon Must Have vids include this bed & of course no one actually slept in it or gave their feedback. This is why I subscribe to u James...thanks for all u do!!!!
we've actually had this mattress for about 3 years now. Its a phenomenal air mattress, and people love being off the ground when they use it. we take it on trips when air bnbs don't have enough beds, all around a 10/10 for me if its the one off wayfair and not a knockoff
I'm betting a narrower bed like a "regular" or "twin" would have less bowing effect. The problem is that the mattress is supported cross-wise by flexible, cloth straps. If you could adjust them a little bit tighter it might alleviate some of the bow. That might help to pull the legs in place, also. However, no matter how tight you can get them, physics is physics and the straps will sag with weight. The greater the distance they span, queen or king size, the more they will sag.
“An honest review, not a :30 TikTok trying to earn affiliate money” AMEN! This is why I like you, James!
Nice always been curious about that mattress. There's an suv specific air mattress that could be fun to review.
I have one of these Queen size and I love it. I got one for when I have guests. Easy to use.
I have a queensize aerobed air mattress that we've used for company a lot and it works well. Hardest thing about it is deflating it enough to fit in storage bag -- which I didn't bother to do except when we moved. it's quite comfortable.
Thanks for the video. I was curious about this bed. By the way, where did you get that cool illuminated rotating globe on the table?
It is a great product, I have purchased two over the last 10 years. Place a base on the mattress, that is a blanket and a mattress topper then a sheet. Adjust the firmness and it sleeps very well.
I wonder if something like this could be reconfigured to use a foam mattress. Those things are mostly air anyways (as anybody who has ever unpacked one from a tiny box to see it "inflate" afterwords can tell you). It would probably be a bit more expensive since the legs would be some sort of compressing robotic mechanism or something like that, but it could be pretty comfy in theory.
For me the noise alone is a deal breaker. Like imagine being tired at night and having to listen to that before you go to bed
anyone who takes a 30 second review seriously, does not care about their money let alone the value of the product they are buying, I recommend your channel a lot for a good review because you throughly test it to the best of your abilities and go back a year, even more, later to tell us how it held up and f you like it still, which is the mark of a great reviewer.
I've gone through a lot of air mattresses before, and they always spring a leak at some point. This one doesn't look very robust either...
I see you're floating moon in the background I bought my daughter one this Christmas she loved it!
It's really cool how it sets itself up. However, at least part if the frame lifting on the sides appears to be how that "casing" sits under parts of the frame. As far as comfort, inflatable mattresses tend to not be all the comfortable anyway. It seems like it could be ab acceptable solution for people who need an extra bed for company (maybe let the company have your bed and you take the inflatable). But, as you said it's rather expensive. I notice it doesn't deflate as well as it inflates.
Great review. Thanks!
Hello, i currently do not own ANY air fryer of any kind or any other ninja gadget. I just found your channel as i had seen someone who had just purchased a ninja creami and i wanted to know what it was like. So now, i am going to go through your videos to see what you think of any of the gadgets or appliances or other things that i am thinking of buying! Thank you for all your work you do in giving us reviews before investing in a product. Happy New Year!
Looking at it inflating it does look like a good product or at least idea. I have an inflatable double size mattress that sits like 3-4 feet up after inflating. My main issue is that it always seems to lose some air and a better pressure system might fix a lot of issues. but adding a mattress pad seems like a great hack to make these better.
We bought three of these for family events (big family). It was branded as a Martha Stewart product back 10 years ago. works well but long term use is limited to the air mattress. Two have broken now and we only have one. We used them about 3-4 times per year. It is a nice idea but the materials will not hold up.
Hey James I'm Jason just wanted to say,I I'm a,new subscriber of yours but love your reviews and all the hard work you put it the reviews and content are amazing appreciated all you amazing reviews and your honest thoughts and opinions big fan,of yours keep doing such amazing work buddy !
Ahhh man! You had to say Purple! I have one but it’s been in storage for 2 years! I miss it sooo much because of my spine. That’s the BEST bed EVER!
Interesting that you still have the purple mattress. We went down a rabbit hole of purchasing and returning 5 we didn't like last year... The expensive purple being one of them, it was like a rock. Ended up with a tempur-pedic.
I truly enjoyed THIS video!!! O. M. G.
Radios are so damn entertaining and this one ☝🏻 especially!!!
I have had this bed for a few years. It is only used for guests but 3 years later and it reliably works great! It is not the most comfortable bed but good enough for guests to use for a few days and better than my experience with a traditional air mattress. I have found traditional ones to leak making them noisy and depending on the leak, leaving my guests on the floor. None of my guests have complained about the divots but I do not think I have ever inflated it to firm.
I carry a camping pad with me for the air mattress. I have yet to experience a comfortable air mattress (except my sleep number bed, which is the bomb!) If I had an air mattress for guests, I definitely would put a topper on it.
Thanks for the review. When that bed first came out, I was tempted to get one.
Now, we rent rollaway beds when needed.
There's nothing to store when the guests go home!
Excellent idea!😊
@@patriciatinkey2677
Thank you for the kind reply🌞!
that was a funny close up at the end lmao
I actually used this same air bed myself for over a month after moving. I only just deflated it to put it away today. I used gravity to my advantage and had no problems getting it back into the case. Instead of pushing the bars together horizontally, tip the bed up on its end so they are stacked vertically so they compress more completely.
I stayed at my wife's aunts and uncles home and they had this thing. It must have had a mattress pad on it because I slept well, but I also sleep well on a sofa, cot, etc., so maybe its just me...When one sleeps like a log, little bothers the sleeper! HA HA
This bed reminded me of the old timey cots you stored in a side table. Probably less comfortable than the cot, though.
"At four hundred dollars it costs nearly as much as a cheap bed!" Me, looking at my $200 mattress, bed, and box combo: ( ._.)
Hahah that face is so cute ( ._.)
What do you have and where did you get it? I need something better than an air mattress.🛏
@@PickleJuice604 Emojis are a passing fad, after civilization falls emoticons will once again reign supreme!!
I have 3 of these! 2singles and 1queen. LOVE THEM !
Oh, thank you, thank you. I almost bought one of these. Nice to know I'd have wasted my money. I watch your videos a lot, and I'm sure I've saved a bunch of money.
Great review James. I think this is a great concept, just not quite there yet
You tell these phony TikTokers, this is the real review channel.
Good and honest review!
thanks for the very useful information.
I have the Aria EzBed Air mattress similar to this unit and style , perfect for guests of the non elderly and heavy set,best left plugged in all night to keep inflated
Thanks for this review...I planned to buy one but not now 😂😂😂
Thanks James!
Aerobeds are very good. I've slept in one of those. The mattress was much thicker than that contraption you bought.
I'm sticking with the regular air matress. It does the job. though I like the idea of a zipbag to store it away.
Id still go with an air bed that folds the size of a handbag. It seems like the size of that thing is going to cost me extra on my airfare tickets.
the main use case I could think of for this is if you needed a portable/storable bed and, for whatever reason, _needed_ it to be off the ground. my first thought is for camping on rocks that you think may be a popping concern, but I'm sure the camping industry and community already has a better solution.
I would never trust anyone that has a financial incentive to give an honest review.
definitely not a knock on you James, 100% the product, but if you have to go out and buy a $70 mattress topper to make sleeping on it tolerable... I'd just buy the topper to use on the floor, and forget the $360 TikTok bed! lmao love the unbiased video with your always honest opinion!
Seems like a product that could be refined further, rather than an entire flop. Should definitely have been a prototype.
The house I grew up in had an upstairs office with a fake cabinet that stored a queen sized bed that folds down, and the practicality of it for having guests over was amazing.
I’ve actually taken it forgranted just how amazing it is to have an option for a stowaway-type bed.
If they can somehow refine the mattress and the legs, it might be an amazing product. I hope they don’t get discouraged by the criticisms, because in this case, I truly do think that is just criticism, and something that can be worked on.
Great review as always, and thanks once again for prioritizing thoroughness over your health/sanity/comfort. Hahaha
NGL, seeing it put away was so helpful in decision making. It is tempting to get something where all the parts are stored compactly in one thing without the need for a giant tote that takes up way to much extra room. You end up storing them separately and invariably when you're cleaning out storage space, moving things and the frame gets moved away from the air mattress and you can't seem to find it six months later when you need it. I have a full size air mattress (double high) with a mattress topper and sheets that I put in a "cube space bag" all together and it is great. I also have a twin that I do the same with. I've been thinking of a queen with a frame or something for guests that might stay more than a weekend and that's why this was tempting. I may look into a murphy bed instead.
"Smooth as silk!" LMAO
Did you consider flipping the air mattress so the curve went the other way? If that is possible of course. I'm guessing it must be attached to the frame somewhere so that the frame self-aligns into it's predetermined geometry.
I believe it's attached to the frame
No idea why I'm watching this as I sleep on a sofa lmao
