I have a question about my air mattress?

I have a Coleman queen size single air mattress, the problem seems to be that the internal support structure is failing on one of the sides, so it bubbles up. Does anyone know how to fix this? PS. it’s not at an abnormal air pressure, but I have been using it regularly.

WHAT ARE THESE "CHAIR BEDS" CALLED?

So my moms looking for those chair bed things?

She says that it folds THREE times, into a a big square / rectangle basically but on the SECOND fold it’s a chair… And when there are no folds (it’s flat) it’s a bed???

And it’s made out of sponge? So it looks sort of like this! But this is my dolls chair so it’s not exact but here:

This is what it’s supposed to look like when it’s folded into a square thing…(the toy would only fold twice so I had to hold it down)

And this is what it’s supposed to look like as a chair (2 folds)

And this is what it’s supposed to look like with NO folds and acts like a portable bed thing!

But try to imagine the back of the chair , DOWN. As I said , it’s a toy so yeah but try it imagine it all flat.

So what are those things called? And where could I find one? NOT an air mattress or anything like that! It’s SPONGE. Please help! Thanks

is an air mattress ok for everyday use?

I have slept on a waterbed for 5 years. I have not had any problems with it but I am not allowed to have one in my next apartment so I was wondering if I could get an air mattress for the waterbed frame instead. I do not have any back issues.

does it seem like he just wants to be friends?

i am currently "getting to know" this guy that i work with. yesterday we went hiking and camping with a group of coworkers, and we all got super drunk at the campsite and had a great time. but when it came time to go inside our tent, he didn’t try to sleep with me. we were on the same air mattress and were spooning but he didn’t try anything, and when i asked why he said it’s because i’m underage and that he didn’t want to take advantage of me while i wasn’t using my best judgment. he is 21 and i am 17, and we go out and hang out every once in a while, and we text every day. he seems to be interested in me at least a little bit, but do you think he just wants a friendship and not a relationship? or do you think he truly just is a nice guy and didn’t want to take advantage of me?

I have to say, if you ever have to stay at APGs temporary lodging for more than a month, it’s not worth it. The husband and I had to stay in the pet friendly rooms which is the furthest building away. Our dog is small and very house broken, he is obedient and will hold urges until we take him out — regardless, they asked us to cage our dog if we had to leave (he’s only 17 lbs). We decided to just leave him in one of the back bedrooms of the small smokey two bedroom apartment. One day when the maid came, I said she can clean while I did some work on my laptop (it was just me there at the time) and it wasn’t much to clean, we didn’t even use their beds… and she said "uh we don’t do that while you’re here". I told her to just change the trash and leave. A day later we had note saying they will be there to clean since we left the do not disturb sign on the door. The rooms smelled of smoke (although they stress no smoking) and the heat is controlled — it will stay blasting and you have to turn on the AC or open the windows in the winter time. We used our own air mattress, sheets, pillows and towels instead of their beds and towels. They provided us with two bedrooms and a kitchen with unfinished cabinets, the inside had splinters all over it. Needless to say we bought our own paper dishes and cups. The rooms are all circa 1970′s we laid sheets down on the couch and sprayed Lysol over the chairs. We had to do the same when we asked to change rooms. The shower was at least clean. They charge an arm and a leg, at least the laundry room is free but not the best. Now, my family and I are going to rent something until we find a decent place to live b/c it is way over priced.

Neoair vs Peak Elite AC?

I am going on a backpacking trip soon and I want to get a light compact air mattress to buy. I was first going to buy the Neoair Trekker (A lighter cheaper version of the Neoair), but then someone recommended the Peak Elite AC from Pacific Outdoor Equipment.

It is lighter, smaller, cheaper, and even warmer (higher r value) but how does it hold up in the real world?

Which pad do you recommend for backpacking on an extended backpacking trip? Which is better?

I am choosing between these two pads. Please don’t mention any other ones.

Thanks!!

I have stayed several nights up in the mountains in my suv. I have an air mattress that is quite comfortable. So do you think I could sleep in walmart parking lots along the way with no problems?

Been sleeping on an air mattress for almost a year. I used to sleep on a regular mattress. I don’t know which one I like better.

The air mattress is ok. Back never really hurts, but it gets sore from exercising an unrelated matter.

Sometimes I’ll sleep on pillows on the floor to switch it up, for best firmness.

After sleeping on my floor my bones feel a bit stronger, and they’ll pop snap and crack almost like they were going into place, then it feels pretty good.

That happens on the air matttess too though, just not as much

How can I learn to like my husbands ex wife?

My husband and I decided to move in together 4 months before our wedding.. His ex wife was very upset. She ranted on and on about how it was setting a bad example and blah blah blah.. Their son had his own room in our home prior to our union but I have a son also who is 2X his age. Their son had never slept not even one night in his own room much less even played in there. He had always slept with his father prior to me but I didn’t feel it was appropriate for him to continue to sleep with his father with me in the bed, so we got an air mattress beside our bed and the son was tickled to death that he didn’t have to sleep in another room. I also didn’t feel it was appropriate for him to share a room with my son who is a teenager. So we made the den a play room and he also had the option of bunking on a futon in there but of course he chose not to. The mother acted like a complete fool about this situation. She even went as far as telling the son that our house was infested with spiders and for him to not dare sleep on that mattress. She instructed him to sleep with his father.. And she even told me that I should sleep on the couch while he was there. I had finally had enough of her immaturity.. She sent a full sized cott to our house to put up beside our bed that I sent back the next day with a sweet little NO THANKS!!! She could not accept that she can’t control our household even where her son is concerned.. She freaked out and sent my husband 50 messages about me and even went as far as having her husband call and try to talk him out of marrying me.. All because the son wasn’t allowed to sleep with his father anymore, mind you he was perfectly fine sleeping in the same room and I was fine not sleeping in the same bed.. Mostly out of respect for the mother and then for her to turn it all around on me like im mistreating him… I am still angry with her and problems have progressed to the point that she isn’t allowed to come to our home or so much as pull into the driveway.. I did threaten her at one point because she lied to my husband about a conversation we had and said that I verbally assaulted her.. Me being strong minded let her know exactly how I could assault her if she came back to our house complaining about petty matters again… So, where do I go from here? I mean the relationship is destroyed between myself and her and I have apologized but she is such a fake person. She said that she would of liked to have got to know me but I made it impossible. Which is a lie because we have a mutual friend that invited us both to 2 different social functions prior to our misunderstandings and she called my husband numerous times to find out if I was going so that she would know not to go or not.. HOW RUDE!!!! I mean seriously.. I could of cared less if she was there or not but thinking she would be more comfortable without me there I declined going and told him to tell her to go ahead and she said she was.. Then low and behold she didn’t attend either and neither did I.. So, this makes me believe she didn’t wanna know me but didn’t want her friends to either… Just don’t know where to go with this situation… Any ideas would be helpful
He lives with his mother but they have joint custody. We are every other weekend and Mondays the off wknd and every Thursday until bedtime…
