Up to 2 things all strikes this airbed to:
1. It can not be easy to inflate. You have the valve all weird squeezing / twisting to make it work.
2. It costs something, namely in our case 9.90 ;-)
We bought this mattress for Caribbean holidays. So salt water and extreme sunlight. My son (primary school age) and I have the mattress used to cross next to each other to be able to snorkel. Worked perfectly.
Towards the end of the holiday we noticed that the purchased T-shirts and souvenirs, too little outweigh (20kg limit per suitcase note) and so we had to decide what we would not take back. So we have this airbed properly tortured last week. Rein in the sand and threw it. In the blazing sun down, leaning on the balcony of the hotel room to the rough wall. And ...? Nothing !!
The Beast is to get not small.
Now we decide to take the mattress back and I was the excess baggage in hand luggage hauling.
C'est la vie :-)
