We live in Japan, where living space is already a premium. Parents were visiting and we ordered this 3 wks before their arrival. To our mild surprise, it arrived to FPO/APO with more than a week to spare. Kudos to Amazon for that. Now for the product. This thing is great. At first I was skeptical (more or less since my wife is the one that scoped it out, reviewed and purchased it online, which she normally doesn't do, but since I was procrastinating she took it into her own hands. Or, to give you a better picture, I'm an engineer, so I scrutinize stuff like this, ok actually all stuff, that I tend to purchase, online or not...) Anyway, I mentally prepared by reading the reviews (keep in mind, I'm doing this after it was already purchased and shipped). So, from the prior reviews, I was humbled and shrugging my shoulders like, "Ok, this might turn out pretty good!" (Actually, I was really thinking, "My wife saved the day again, b/c I would have totally forgotten, again, to buy a blowup bed in preps for my parents visit, and then I'd have to scramble last minute, run to the store the day before their arrival, and waste money on a futon...phew.") When it showed up, naturally, I had to test it out. Easy to setup. You'd have to really try to screw it up. Basically, unfold it, plug it in, set the anticipated firmness level, then turn to automatic, then walk away. It'll blowup and shutoff automatically. Additionally, it'll maintain whatever firmness you set it at. And it does so quietly, you can't even hear it over ambient noise. Comes with a handy bag to pack it up into every morning, if you so desire, to deflate and get it "out of the way". Easy easy easy. Comfortable too. Regular queen size fitted sheets fit no problems. Don't worry about the height; if you put the fitted sheets on properly, nice & tight and pulled all the way down on all four sides. Made of good quality materials and, unless you're completely careless with products you spend your well hard-earned money with or you receive a defective product, I see this lasting quite a while.
No external pump to stash. Only the power cord, which you conveniently roll up and fold and place into the round plastic cup next to the internal pump. Easy, automatic, folds up nicely and compact into a handbag, and neatly. And last but definitely should've been first, it's comfortable! Worth every penny. Wife gets kudos; steppin it up! Definitely got daughter-in law brownie points when I raved how she picked it out, after my parents were amazed at how comfy and well they slept on it. They visited 9 days and each day they praised it more and more, and slept better and better.

Happy at first - and then it popped - Now I'm happy with the warranty replacement
Original 5-star rating - After a dozen or more nights use over the last two months, I've been very pleased with this bed. Weighing in at 250 lbs, I've found other inflatable beds to be slightly better than making a pallet and sleeping on the floor. First, this bed holds its shape and does not balloon out on the sides. Second, it maintains its firmness throughout the night even near the edges. The main pump inflates the bed in 2.5 minutes and the secondary pump might run another 15 or so minutes before shutting off the first time. The secondary pump is very quite, much like a fish tank air pump, and can hardly be distinguished over other household white noise even when my head is just a foot or two away.And after a good nights sleep, I really appreciate that I can roll over and get right out of the bed on to my feet instead of having it sag half way to the floor, rolling over on to my knees and then stand up.UPDATE - Changed to a 1-star rating - one week after I gave this bed a 5-star review it popped a hole. Right in the seam of the coil like others have stated. Amazon says it's too late to return to them. We'll update again once I contact the manufacturer. Meanwhile I'm sleeping on the floor tonight.UPDATE - Changed to a 4-star - After some initial issues contacting customer service, (see comments section) once I made contact they were very courteous, asked few question (I'd sent the photo of the rip) and we received a free warranty replacement within a week. Although I've not slept on the replacement bed yet, it has been inflated for two days and is still the same firmness even though I did not turn on the Never Flat pump.
