Lightweight and reliable
"I bought two of these for my kids when tent camping. They are perfect. The TPU material is far better than cheap PVC air beds. It's lighter weight, more durable, and better with temperature changes. I'm very happy with this purchase."
Great little airbed
"We were staying a couple of nights with family and I knew I had some dodgy cheap air beds so decided to try my luck with something more costly and, hopefully, better quality. My adult son (weight around 94kg and just under 6ft) spent two nights on this air bed and it never needed topping up with air! Now this is a first. He also said it was really comfy despite only being a single as opposed to king single. So, yep, I recommend this air bed :) Oh, I might mention that I bought this airbed on sale so didn't pay full price,"
Easy to use
"The mattress was quick to inflate with our turbojet blower but not that comfortable. My fault. I thought it was deeper."
nice product
"nice product"
Won't deflate
"Mattress itself is fine. However it won't deflate and this renders it useless. Waste of money."
No good
"Bought a similar one of these it went flat spent two nights on the ground took it back got another one same thing happened would not refund me but offered 10 % discount on another one . faulty product poor service"
So uncomfortable
"Unfortunately, the hardest thing you'll ever try to sleep on. Quality in the build but just so uncomfortable it's impossible to sleep on."
Retreat TPU
"The worst air mattress I have ever attempted to sleep on! Cold ,slippery and had to have it so flat I was on the ground."
Retreat TPU Single Air Bed
"Needs a motor vehicle to inflate using the pump provided"
Q&A
- How do you use the patch to repair a hole, no glue in repair kit, and the backing doesn't pull off either,??
- This should come with glue in the repair kit, however if it is missing a glue from a bike shop will also work.
- Could you specify the pump requirements please?
- We don't have pump specifications for this air bed, most camping style/inflatable toy pumps will be suitable.
- Is this air bed suitable to use on a single stretcher?
- It is recommended as cushioning between yourself and the ground, not another support such as a stretcher.
- Is there a side up/down for this air bed? It wasn't very comfortable when we used it, as if there's a hump between our back and the bed. Not sure if we just overinflated it, or we were lying on the wrong side of the bed.
- This can be used on either side for sleeping on.
- What are the dimensions when it's packed down?
- The packed dimensions are 36cm x 25cm
