We have the airbed now been over a year and it was mainly inflated in the holiday season for kids or just once for visit. After about 3-4 days it loses minimal air, hardly noticeable. Just short press the button in 3 sec UDN. is back to normal state. The building up of the bed takes about 10 minutes. Unpacking, folding, plug in, turn on and pump out. Done. It fit top commercial fitted sheet and it also will not be. Quarrying takes somewhat longer because you should fold up neatly. But in 15 minutes that's happened and for two little easier. I would store it just not cool, I noticed. It begins else to sweat. So no cold cellar or cold attic in winter. Should some games "go next" and what moist (children do indeed something ;-)) just dry with a hair dryer, is super fast. Can only recommend the bed.
