Anyone else have one?
I am going to pick up one up tonight.

Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts?

How hard are they to set up?

I've got one. Easy to set up.

It's warmer than a normal mattress, but not as warm as one of those memory foam abominations.

I prefer a normal mattress, but the ladyfriend and I have pretty different softness preferences, so it's a decent compromise.

I used to have one. Easy to set up. However, unless they have changed dramatically you'll want another bed for um, "activities".

Ive had one since they were called Select Comfort. Really easy to set up and transport. When I got mine, the entire queen size mattress, box spring and frame fit into the tiny hatchback I was driving at the time.

The difference between mine and the new ones is that mine has a super loud motor when inflating, but it happens very quick (think portable air compressor loud). The new ones are really quiet but it takes much longer to adjust the firmness of the mattress.

I wont go back to a regular mattress.

We tried one. It was OK for me, but the wife hated it. We returned it.

We tried one....hated it. Got the Tempurpedic bed instead. Yes, it's warmer. But it does sleep better, and is vastly better for nocturnal aerobic training.

Love mine, going on 8 years, my number is 100. Don't waste your money on the box springs, use your old one and buy a piece of 1/8" underlayment and cut it to size. Saved me $300

Love mine. I have an older version but am looking to upgrade my mattress. You can keep the same foundation so it saves some money. You will love it. And. I don't have any problems with any activities in mine!

x2 on everything. Ours is 15 years old. About 5 years ago, the inflator died (we only have to add air every year or so) and we called them. They sent us a new one no charge. I sleep at 50, hubby is around 70. OUrs is a CA King, but the top mattress is all one piece, I think some people may have two pieces with a connector. I think that might be why some people don't like them for sex, the connector piece is distracting. On ours, no problems with any activities in bed and you can't really tell where one side ends and the other begins.

I forgot to mention that they do have great customer service too. I had my motor go out and the sent me a new one super fast. Also had a foam problem one time that they fixed right up too.
Think I have had mine justa little more than fifteen years and it's still awesome. Also if you ever move, it's the easiest bed you will ever move!

We have had one for at least 10 years and both of us love it. I don't understand the comments about 'nocturnal activities' being a problem. We can't tell where one side starts and the other one ends. In other words, there is no 'divider' or anything like that.

It is nice being able to adjust the firmness to your particular preference. Due to some remodeling/reorganizing of our house, we are probably going to make this our guest bed so that people can set it the way they want when they visit. Don't know if we will buy another one for our bedroom or not, but there is a good chance we will.

Ya. It's basically two separate twin air mattresses with a foam structure on the sides and a topping. It's way more comfortable than a regular air mattress, but about as warm.

My husband is 195, I am 138. That bed has saved our marriage.

He also has had some back issues and swears by the bed.

I have two of 'em. One in my bedroom and one in my RV. Yeah, follow the advice of others here, you don't need the box that goes under it. My first one (the one currently in the RV) had a box that was made up of tongue and groove plastic pieces. Those dang things were so noisy it was incredible. On the rare occasions I would lay the serious wood to the Mrs it sounded like we were destroying the place! Love 'em though. One of my fat family members just got one and they love it too. They say it's fixed their fat back problems!?!
