Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed Reviews

• A comfortable, versatile bargain!

  
  By AB8L3D0J7XPIB on 2007-02-13
  After researching many of the other more expensive, self-inflating air beds, I decided to purchase the Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed for overnight guests. It's less than half the price of an average twin size Aero Bed and much more versatile as it can be configured as two twins, one king, or one double-height twin. You do need to buy a separate pump, but the Coleman pump is inexpensive and can be used for other inflating/deflating purposes (e.g., pool toys, vaccuum storage bags, etc.). Each mattress inflates and deflates in just a couple minutes, and it's quite easy to roll it up for storage. It's comfortable both as a single matress or double height. I ended up buying a second 4-in-1 Quickbed, so now I can accommodate up to 4 overnight guests for less than $100. I can't vouch for how long it will last, but even if it sprung a leak after a couple years of periodic use, it would still be worth it at this low price.
  
  

• Shouldn't be leaking!

  I've bought two of these air mattresses locally and I'm disappointed--they both deflated notably within a couple nights. I've been using air mattresses for >5 years, and even cheap $15 ones have lasted me years without needing any air refill due to leakage. I don't understand why some other reviewers are giving four- and five-star reviews when they admit that the mattress loses air over just a few days. An air mattress that leaks is a piece of junk, period!

  Easy to inflate and deflate and folds up quickly. Very comfortable and stays inflated
  
  

• Not worth price

  
  By AY0KLD77FKZ8H on 2008-03-16
  The company advertises that this 4-in 1 air mattress set can be doubled over to make a bottom and top mattress, adding to the comfort of the sleep. This would be great, however doing so causes the mattresses to unstably rock back and forth.
  
  They also offer a 'leak free' guarantee. That's also false, and if you have extended uses of the bed, plan to inflate it once every other day, if not more.
  
  The quality matches slightly better than what you can find at Family Dollar for half the price. Only slightly. Don't buy it.
  
  

• Best. Purchase. Ever.

  
  By A2239NWTHC69AB on 2007-12-17
  I don't normally review things, but this was such a good purchase that I can't resist...
  
  I recently moved about 400 miles and into a big city apartment. I didn't have a lot of furniture, so it seemed kind of silly to rent a moving van just for a bed. Finally, after looking at a million different styles, I decided I'd try this inflatable bed. It's compact, so I could just squeeze it into the car with the rest of the luggage. I wouldn't have to fight to get a bed frame and mattress up the apartment stairs. Plus, I figured if I hated it, I could find a 'real' bed at some point.
  
  I LOVE this bed. I've been sleeping on it every night for over 6 weeks and have never (yet) had to refill the air in it. Separating the twin beds is easy, and comes in handy when guests come visit.
  
  One tiny tiny con... The very first time you lay on this bed, it is awkward and uncomfortable. I'm not gonna lie. However, after about 30 minutes, you get used to the 'water bed' feeling, and the whole bed feels insanely comfortable. It's like it takes the bed (or the PVC material) 30 minutes or so to 'relax'... Also, it did not come with a pump, so I had to buy one for 15.99. *shrugs*
  
  I would never go back to a 'regular' bed. This bed can be an elevated twin bed, a king size, two twins, compacts down to about a 10 pound parcel with a carrying strap, is as comfortable as a spring mattress and cost me forty bucks.
  
  Highly recommended.
  
  *EDIT*-- June 11th 2008. Still sleeping on the bed nightly, *still* working wonderfully! The 'top' mattress (when stacked) does need an occasional bit of air every few weeks, but no big deal.
  
  
• Versatile, durable, comfortable
  By A2731AZYMXHG53 on 2008-04-01
  The 4-in-1 Quickbed had served us well in the home and out camping.
  
  Now, let's start it out by saying they're not for backpackers. However, if you go by car to the campsite, like us, these are an excellent balance between comfort and portability.
  
  Product has proven durable. With the Coleman rechargable quick pump, they're quickly inflated and deflated, making ease of use very high.
  
  Having them at home provides for easy set up for that occasional drop-in guest (or two).
  
  
• it serves its purpose
  By A31WKHN9V52Y10 on 2007-06-28
  I had some guests over and needed some temporary bedding. Used it continuously for 3 weeks. After about every 2-3 days, it starts to lose air and needs to be refilled.
  Stacking the twins together works fine as long as both are filled up. As soon as one loses air, it makes sleeping very difficult and feels like its going to tip over.
  Overall, its a good deal for the price.
  
  
• Money Wasted
  By APA5EY1VNCAWE on 2007-07-19
  Although I purchased this product in March, I did not start using it until mid-April. I used the double-high twin configuration and the top half went flat within a month. It's now July, and the bottom half has given out as well. This is the second Coleman air mattress purchase I've had problems with, so I will not purchasing this brand again. I'll go back to using the Intex brand for air mattresses.
  
  
• 4 in one airbed
  By A1WHUVEW32CN5N on 2007-03-09
  I'm not sure where the 4 comes from, the bed can be used three ways, but it is wonderful. I am using it as a raised twin for my daughter and it's comfy and solid.
  
  
• Comfortable nights sleep
  By A1VFDRXUWVSFPS on 2007-08-31
  We ordered these mattresses for our park model trailer. We intended them to be for our grandkids to use when they visit us at the lake. One night we thought we would try them out. Now we use the air mattress all the time and put the kids in the bed. However we don't like them stacked, we prefer them attached side by side.
  
  
• OK not great
  By A1R8TTMXVXEI6H on 2008-03-28
  I bought this b/c we have a small apartment and need a bed for guests. My father slept on this and one of the nights I saw him on our couch instead. So I guess that is a sign it wasn't the most comfortable! He didn't complain saying it was horrible so it was "ok" for a few nights but not ideal. I like the idea of it being a twin or a queen so I think that's a plus and it seems sturdy & not leaky, so it really seems to be a comfort issue.
  
  
• Good bed
  By A3FREJP7S2RXI7 on 2007-09-23
  Its a nice bed, I've had it for near 2 months now and not had to reinflate it even once. This is my main bed, the one I sleep on every night, because I find air mattresses a lot easier to sleep on and certainly cheaper than a furniture bed!
  
  
• Worth the price.
  By A3ODF5NRT04BCY on 2007-03-24
  I haven't had the chance to actually put this to the guest-test yet but the versatility of configurations along with the price make it a very worthwhile buy. It kept a pretty decent fill level for the three days I left it inflated. Seems to be made very durable and really like the ability to stack together or keep totally seperate.
  
  
• Worth the buy **
  By A183ORN5HMJYGY on 2007-09-14
  Bought this product few months ago for a camping trip. Works great. You will need the electric or rechargable pump with it. It doesnot come with it.
  
  
• UNCOMFORTABLE
  By AKKRTFKHUF5I1 on 2007-10-24
  This is the worst blow up bed I've ever had. It feels like hard plastic to sleep on and it also feels like a water bed when you use it piggyback. I felt like I was falling off. It also loses air very quickly. I had to keep blowing it up. I used it, so my company could be comfortable in my bed. Thank God I did that or they would never come back.
  
  
• Great! Buy it-you won't be sorry!
  By A16HLR19NYPN7B on 2007-12-02
  Coleman air mattress-Great product. Bought 3 and it worked great for six people. Remember to buy the pump-works fast. No complaints! We spent a lot of money on Hammacher Schlemmer's Inflatable Memory Foam bed and sent it back. It was like sleeping on a brick. You won't go wrong with the Coleman's Quickbed! Just in time for the holiday guests!
  
  
• Comfy & Nice on the budget
  By A2Y88GXT68FRNW on 2008-03-28
  When my old airbed (not a Coleman bed) finally crapped out, I found this Coleman 4-in-1 bed. It was reasonably priced for its flexibility, from king-size to a raised twin, etc. I found myself sleeping on this bed in the raised-twin position for nearly a year. It was durable, comfortable and soft with its dura-suede feel. Each month, I had to reinflate the mattresses once or twice (preferring an extra firm feel); however, the mattresses never really deflated that much for me. The time it took to inflate (or deflate) both mattresses took ~5 minutes or so. The only negative thing I have to add is: the pump is NOT included with the bed. You have to purchase it separately, and it's battery-operated only, no AC adapter.
  
  
• my least favorite air mattress
  By A1YFDPLJN0KXX1 on 2007-07-11
  I recently bought 3 different air mattresses for house guests. It was the only one that didnt come with a pump attached-I had to buy one for $19. I used the bed as a raised twin. The first night the bed lost some air, and my niece rolled and fell out of bed! I would definitely recommend spending a little extra money and buying a bed with a pump. This bed was not AWFUL,however, there are better beds out there.

  By A1KSNK256G46GX on 2008-02-25
  Love the design of the king size using 2 twins. My only complaint is the seams of the mattress seem to start failing in about two years. They still fit my purpose, even with the built in obsolence.

• Coleman beats Aerobed
  By A1CW84TT8DY6K5 on 2008-07-08
  We initially bought the Coleman 4-in-1 quickbed for a trip where we were staying in a sublet, so that we would not have to use the pull-out bed that was provided. We thought that we would get 5-7 days of sleeping on it and probably stow it away for guests. However, this bed has seen use every night for at least two months, and it has only been reinflated ONE TIME! Great product for the money and durability.
  
  
• a great inflatable bed
  By A5TG2QL3TQO12 on 2007-05-17
  We got this for our guests and they all enjoyed sleeping on it. It's super easy to inflate and deflate and it holds the air in very well. It's comfortable and nice. It's very inexpensive for the benefit you get and it's nicely made.

  This is an easy to inflate and deflate air mattress set that works as advertised. The carrying case is a real nice feature. The $39.99 Amazon price is a bargain for this product.
  
  
• Better than what I expected!
  By A33QM8HDPHPFQ0 on 2007-09-16
  The bed is very easy to use, very easy to pump up, what I like is that is two beds in one you can use just one or two for two people or one on top of the other, is very comfortable it doesn't leak air and is very cheap.
  
  
• Very satisfied
  By A38X68LT0T2R1V on 2007-11-17
  We bought the mattress to use while awaiting delivery of our bed, which we knew would be about a week.
  Using it as a bed for two certainly tested the limits (and our marriage), but it was satisfactory, and sure beat sleeping on the floor.
  Using it doubled up as a single bed really is preferable and was a very satisfactory experience.
  
  
• Decent product
  By A35CA8HLN740PC on 2007-11-17
  I found it very useful when my parents were over. It seems to lose air over time, but that was not a big show stopper for me.

• Coleman Bed
  By AJ8GNE89MAKIO on 2008-01-14
  I needed a bed right away that would be small enough to fit in a confined space for a guest that would be at my home over the Christmas Season, the Coleman 4-1 seemed to fit my needs. I received the bed just prior to my guest's arrival and was very pleased at it's construction, I love the fill valve's as well as the soft top. The bed was easy to fill and stayed full for the week my guest used it. The only problems I saw with the bed are these; It is a bit short for a tall person, and when stacked getting close to the edge of the bed can cause some unwanted movement. If you are 5'8" tall and sleep close to the center of the bed in the stacked position, you will love the thing. IF you open the bed up you will be happy all the way around. The price was good, the bed had reasonable comfort, and great construction. I would buy again if needed.

• Great buy!
  By A1OQY5EQ2E8JW2 on 2008-05-25
  Don't bother with a more expensive air mattress! This one is a great buy and lasts just as long, maybe even longer. We use this one several times a week and it holds up great. You can also use it as two separate mattresses so you're getting 2 for the price of 1. Unlike some of the others, you don't need to plug in the air pump since it uses 4 D batteries.
  
  
• Exactly What I Wanted
  By A18I3164IW4H23 on 2008-07-11
  After looking at overpriced and unwielding solutions like the AeroBed, I stumbled upon the Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed. It was exactly what I neeed (a flexible, inexpensive bed for a short term guest). The bed is well made, didn't leak after days of use and is very comfortable. In the stacked mode, it high enough off the floor to allow a sleeper to sit and rise comfortable. The seals allow you to inflate it with a manual or powered pump (not included) quickly and securely. The split design is very flexible allowing many configurations so you don't need multiple beds for various situations. I'm completely happy with this product and highly recommend it. Add a manual or powered pump and you'll still come out ahead of one of those fancy, overpriced models.
  
  
• No Air Leakage....
  By A3O83Z0VAXY0FA on 2007-11-10
  I think this is just about the coolest camping/spare bed i've seen. I've slept on it numerous times and it's quite comfy. It feels a little rocky when it's stacked on each other and you sleep on them, but as a single, or two singles or the queen...i like it. The top is a soft type fabric very nice.
  
  I only ever have to blow it up once and for over a week it stayed basically the same. It has a double air lock, so you plug the air hole and then push it in and it locks it that way too. It's easy to roll up, smaller than a sleeping bag rolled up. It's smaller and easier if you use an air pump to deflate as well as inflate.
  
  Overall i would definetly buy this again, but luckily i don't have to because this is really 2 singles or one queen. Kind of like getting two beds for one.
