SimplySleeper SS-58RF Raised Air Bed, Full, Beige

Edited: i really want to give this bed more stars but for one thing. It's comfortable, durable and a good value. I weigh over 300 lbs, and after the initial "stretch" period I only need a few seconds "top off time" a week to make up for any additional stretching or air loss (all air beds have a small amount of air loss).I've tried other air beds, and none matched this one (unless,perhaps, I wanted to spend hundreds of dollars, which I can't afford). The construction makes this feel as much like as conventional mattress as is possible with an air bed, and the edges hold up well if I happened to roll over next to the edge or when climbing out of bed.The issue that the seams on top are weaker than expected. One morning I had just gotten out of the bed, then forgot to grab something from the shelf on the other side of the bed, I quickly knelt on the bed, and just happened to put all my weight on my knee right where a seam was. Despite the weight capacity of the bed overall, I don't think it was meant to bear that much weight in such as small area right on a seam. The seam parted for a distance of about 4 inches, and needless to say my comfy air bed is now a floor mat.Thinking it was a matter of my putting too much weight on my knee, I ordered another one (still nearly 50% off) with Prime rush shipping. I decided to be more careful getting into and out of bed this time. For almost 2 months I had no problem as before, but the bed did develop an area that sagged under my butt more than surrounding areas. Then just this morning I simply propped myseld up on an elbow to turn off my alarm and a seam gave out. I even had a layer of mattress pad I thought was thick enough to keep that from happening.Though the bed is rated to 500 lbs., I would say that disregards what to me is normal activity of moving around on the bed. I'm sure they tested it with the idea of people of "normal" weight moving around.

Well, my wife and I just received our new SimplySleeper SS-58RF air bed. Our purpose in ordering this bed was for daily use. Now, until recently, I had never slept on an air mattress before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but for more than a full month before this bed arrived my wife and I got a chance to try another, cheaper, air mattress. This experience with the cheap air mattress actually had me quite nervous as my wife and I had great difficulty sleeping the entire month we used it.When the SimplySleeper finally arrived I was happy to unpack it and get it set up in place of the other cheapy mattress. I was also very happy to see how firm and flat it was when inflated instead of the egg carton shape I was forced to sleep on previously. An added bonus is that the edges of the mattress all the way around are raised, giving great support on the edge of the mattress so that I don't just roll off when I get close to the edge as I had gotten used to. The extra height that this mattress has is also a nice feature that makes it look and feel like a very nice bed, in my opinion, of course.Now, my wife and I have only slept on this mattress for two nights now, but, so far, each morning when we wake up we look at each other and smile in disbelief at how well we slept and how comfortable this mattress is. In fact, I've actually begun dreaming again during the night, which, as I understand it, is a good thing. I definitely feel better throughout the day, as well. I've slept on several different mattresses over the past few months, new and old, spring and air, and I can honestly say that this is the best I've slept in a long time. This may even be the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on, but it would be hard to make that judgement with any certainty given my recent sleeping arrangements.For the sake of reference, I am about 30 years old, weigh about 155 lbs., and am about 5'11''. My wife is younger and about 40 lbs. lighter. Perhaps that info will help you to put this review into context if you're trying to determine what your own comfort level might be on this mattress.Well, I hope this helps. I've never written a review for any product I've gotten online, but knowing how happy we are with this item and how much we ourselves rely upon the detailed reviews of others when making purchases online, I felt inspired to give it a try.
