Side by Side Comparison of: SoundAsleep Products vs AmazonBasics vs Abit Comfort vs Utopia Bedding

This is a great mattress that I sleep on when my parents come to visit. I have the queen size which I think makes a big difference. This inflates in about 2 minutes and is very firm. By the time I wake up in the morning, it has deflated a little bit but is very very comfortable and easy to store. Great alternative if you don't have a spare bed. Takes 2 minutes to deflate. Just plug it in and flip the switch. Very easy to use. Highly recommend.

I've had other airbeds, both the temporary "guest bed" style and even an expensive, sleep every night style, so I have some context to review this product.The SoundAsleep seems to be of good quality for an air mattress, and quite comfortable to sleep on. As other reviews have said, it takes a few nights to stretch out the material on initial fill. I haven't had to adjust mine since the 3rd night, and I've had it for a few weeks. I am sleeping on it nightly for now, and will probably do so for a number of months. The air pump worked fine, and I like the way it is "inside" the mattress, out of the way.One thing I was concerned about was if the bedding would stay put, as I tend to toss around and often have had beds that don't hold the sheets. This has not been an issue at all with the SoundAsleep bed. The material of the bed sides is somewhat slippery vinyl, and I had to wrestle with my fitted mattress pad to get it to go on, but once the bed was made, all the fitted bedding stayed put.With this bed set up on the floor, it is a little lower than a standard bed would be on a bed frame, so just be aware of that. It is much higher than the other style of airbeds that are only about 6-8" thick. This makes it ok to have on the floor, just don't expect it to be the same height as a real bed.Otherwise, I love this bed. Very comfortable to sleep on. Not noise (as some air beds are), and I don't toss and turn at night. I wake up rested without any aches or pains associated with some cheap beds. Also, it's not hot to sleep on, as some foam mattresses are.I'm giving it 5 stars because it's a quality product and performs as advertised, and is far above the average air mattresses on the market.UPDATE SEPT 21 2017: After about 7 months, it began to leak, probably through the pump somplace. I returned it to manufacturer, and the gladly repaired it and returned it to me. Very happy with their customer service.

My husband and I recently moved from NY to MD, and we knew we were going to need an air mattress once the movers packed up our regular mattress. We have a Sleep Number bed, and it's extremely comfortable and we both love it, and I was certain I was going to have problems with any air mattress we purchased because it wouldn't be our usual nice, fancy bed. This air mattress was the next best thing, seriously! We bought a fluffy mattress cover for it, based on some people's recommendations in reviews, if you're sensitive to the feel of the grooves in the top of the air mattress. I think it would have been perfectly fine without the mattress topper, however. I had no problems sleeping on this AT ALL. It's nice and high, so you don't feel like you're sleeping on the floor. When you get out of bed, you don't end up disrupting the other person as much as you would with a cheaper air mattress. It's so easy to inflate/deflate, and yes, as per all the other reviews, if you deflate it correctly, it really does fit back in the bag it came in. Not as perfectly, obviously, but it still fits and you don't have to force it. I thought that the reviews for this product might be too good to be true, but seriously, don't debate it and just buy this. It's wonderful. The customer support from the company, which we didn't have to use because we had no problems, seems wonderful. They emailed us after we purchased the product to make sure we were satisfied. They actually seem to care about how the consumer feels about their product. Definitely a full, 5 star product. Fantastic!

I chose this air mattress over an aero or Coleman or other big brand name because the reviews were far better. I totally agree with the other reviewers. Absolutely wonderful product.I ordered a queen to have for guests now that a nursery is where the guest bedroom used to be.It inflates quite fast considering how tall it is. You definitely can't sink and hit your butt or back on the floor, also because it is nice and tall. I like the ridge all the way around so it holds pillows and bedding in place and doesn't slip off a sloped edge. And I like that the ridge goes all the way around, not just a one side headboard like some have because sometimes where the outlet is doesn't permit bed positioning the way you would prefer and the one side headboard may end up at your feet on those others. The velvety top is great to hold sheets in place too.Inflating or deflating is simple while youre still laying on it so you can adjust firmness to your preference.Also something my husband pointed out... Because it has the air coils inside instead of the regular big air filled area, even if you deflate it a little for a softer mattress, two people don't roll into the middle towards eachother. It is individual area softness.When we unpacked it to try it the first time, I joked that I'd never get it packed as tight as the way it came in the provided travel bag and packing box. To my surprise it does! The deflate setting actually sucks the air back out until it is completely flattened, instead of just wooshing air out a hole and you have to smush the rest out with your bodyweight to try and roll it all out. I have never seen one that did that before and it deflates very quickly too so if you used it at a hotel and had to pack it back up in the morning and can't wait around for all the air to slowly drift out, this is great.I'm so glad I paid a little extra to get a nice one like this, and also glad I didn't spend twice as much for an aero that is not even as nice of a product. I know our guests will be very happy as well, it's like sleeping on a real bed!

This was a big purchase for me and my review is pretty thorough:PACKAGING: The air mattress with built-in pump arrived well packaged in a large, sturdy, cardboard box with the company logo. As the air mattress itself is heavy I appreciated the durable cardboard support and inner cardboard lining which preventing me from slicing into the mattresses when opening the package. I have made that mistake in the past.TOP UP: All air mattresses stretch over the initial few inflations. My first night with the product I feel as though the PVC stretched slightly, but not nearly as much as other brands I have used in the past - perhaps 5% at most. Nonetheless, the first night I needed a small top-off from the built-in pump for about 10 seconds to get back to my desired firmness.MOTOR: This air mattress with the built-in pump is very user friendly compared to other models I have used over the years. The electric cord plugs into any standard wall unit and inflates quickly. I have timed the inflation at exactly 4 minutes. I tested this inflation over 4 separate cycles, and each one reached my firmness level in the same time. I have slept on other brands (Intex) that inflate in 3 minutes but that brand continuously leaks air over the course of the night. The Soundasleep motor is foolproof in its simplicity. A clockwise turn inflates the mattress and a counterclockwise turn deflates the mattress. They claim the motor is quieter than other brands. While this may be true, the motor still generates a moderate amount of noise when inflating, comparable, yet slightly quieter than a vacuum.CONSTRUCTION: The manufacturer describes the mattress as standard queen sized, and after using my trusty measuring tape, I found this to be accurate." The top of the mattress has an extra layer of material which has a micro fiber feel. Standard queen sized sheets fit on the mattress decently well, although after continued use I noticed them starting to fall off. The 40 coil air beam construction adds smooth and comfortable support. These are not real coils like a traditional mattress but the points in the mattress where the material is welded together. The air mattress remained very flat all night without any bulging or sinking in particular areas.COMFORT: This mattress has now been slept on 4 times - twice alone until my traditional mattress was delivered, once with my wife, and once by a friend. The mattress exceeded my comfort expectations. The 19-inch height made it feel like I was sleeping on a traditional box spring bed, rather than an air mattress on the floor. The mattress top added softness and made it much more comfortable to sleep on throughout the night. While sleeping alone, the mattress dropped very marginally towards the middle but it was not severe at all like I have experienced with other brands. While sleeping with my wife on the mattress it remained really firm through the night. The mattress is made for both single sleepers and couples. The max weight is 500 pounds. My wife and I top out at 300 pounds and felt like it could have easily supported twice as much weight.CUSTOMER SUPPORT: Soundasleep offers a full year guarantee. I have not had a chance to use the customer support but will update this review if/when I do attempt to contact the company.PRICE: The air mattress sells for a little over one hundred dollars which is over $75 cheaper than much lower quality products in the big box stores. I saw a Queen sized air mattress in Bed Bath for $250 and couldn't believe the price tag. I do not understand how Soundasleep is making money on such an excellent product at this price point, but their loss is our gain.WHO COULD USE THIS: Anyone who is tired of going to Target, Sears, Bed Bath or Kmart and spending a lot of money on an inferior product. This air mattress is queen sized so it would likely not work for you if you are space constrained and have a small apartment. If you have the room for a queen, then this mattress is the best there is. It works well with singles as well as couples and probably even pets. It is clearly designed for indoor home use and not for camping. If you are looking for a camping mattress there are a number of other products better suited specifically for this activity.BOTTOM LINE: This mattress is a no brainer for someone looking for a quality product. There might be slightly cheaper air mattresses out there but I have bought those in the past and always been disappointed. The Soundasleep Dream Series with ComfortCoil technology is a keeper. I highly recommend it!

****Update - April 2015 ****This mattress is still holding up very well. I no longer use it as frequently as when I first received the mattress but when guests come to stay over I take it out of the storage bag and blow it up without a problem. I am still quite pleased with the purchase.****I got my Soundasleep air mattress last week. Given my living situation in the past year I have been using air beds quite a bit and have had (unfortunately) more than a few models. So far I have been pretty impressed with this one.The first night I slept on it was great. The mattress blew up very quickly (you just flip the switch and it automatically starts inflating – no valves to open or close). The bed is the right height for me and has a nice soft top to it. I put some sheets on it and slept like a dream.I did notice that the mattress seemed to lose a small amount of air over the course of the second night. I thought there might be a leak in the product and reached out to customer support via their website. Having owned my fair share of air mattresses over the years my experience with these companies is that they do not want to be bothered after a sale – basically you are on your own after purchase.I got a support rep on my first call after only a couple minutes, and she seemed eager to help me. The rep said that the mattresses are made from PVC, a plastic material that naturally stretches, and that stretching was normal during the first couple of uses (evidently SoundAsleep does something during production to minimize this stretching). The rep suggested that this natural stretching was likely the cause and that I should deflate the mattress fully, reinflate one more time and then try it for one more night. She seemed very certain that would solve the issue and the mattress would remain firm once it was fully stretched out. She even offered to follow up with me in a few days to make sure everything was working normally. The prompt and helpful support was refreshing and a nice change from the normal customer support these days.I followed her advice and the mattress did stay very firm the following evening. I followed up with an email letting her know it worked as suggested and within 15 minutes the same rep responded that she was happy to help out.As a Prime member, and frequent Amazon user, I am a huge fan of outstanding customer service. The fact that the rep was so thorough really made me feel good about the purchase. I’ll definitely update this review in the future but I am sold on this product today and would recommend it to friends and family.

I used this for guests for 2 nights in a recently finished basement because our furniture hadn't arrived yet. Guests said it was comfortable. Only thing that would make it better is some sort of additional padding (or mattress topper) on the top, but I don't think any of the air mattresses come with this.. It was cold to sleep on (we put a sleeping bag on it under the sheet and that worked well). We kept the mattress inflated and it's retained the air for about a month now. It still seems as good as the first day. If you need a mattress infrequently for guests, I would definitely recommend, only I would also buy a mattress topper or put something on the top for a little padding and insulation.

These are nice and comfortable but if you use it every day after about 4-5 months you will be hitting the pump switch to add air. They seem to leak the older they get. I was using it while remodeling my new home and wanted to not buy a bedroom set until I was finished so I figured an air-mattress would suffice. This is a nice bed, but I did notice it going down after about 4-5 months. Maybe it stretches out at the seams? I am 190, not heavy. If you use it now and then, its probably not going to be an issue but for an everyday bed, maybe not. The height is great and makes it easy to get in and out of it.

I have enjoyed the mattress. It stays very firm/inflated for long periods of time, although I top off for 30 seconds each night when I use it for multiple days in a row. Like almost every air mattress I've used, however, you cannot simply put a sheet on the mattress. You have to include a warmer comforter underneath (at least in New England in March). The air inside makes the mattress sort of cold. Otherwise, the mattress is everything it says it should be. I wish there was a release valve, just in case I over inflate. I don't want to pop it. (Maybe it does, but I'm not going to try it out . . . . )

Very good. Inflates decently quickly, and the 'deflate' feature is nice. Going to knock it a point because it simply is not going to get near as firm as some people like (not me) as well as concerns for reliability. I did use mine far longer than I wanted to in a temp situation (a month) and for -mine- I did not see any signs of potential trouble. I did buy the best patch kit available for it, however, but didn't prove to need it at this time, so that's another 10 bucks or whatever just for insurance. I'd CERTAINLY recommend this over other queen size ones where the reviews are scary.

The mattress seems like all it's advertised to be. Comes in a nice carry/storage bag, seems sturdy, and set-up is super easy. It inflates nicely and holds its air well through the night. My fitted bottom sheet worked nicely, too, as did the mattress pad I put underneath the sheet. The mattress also has a "deflate" feature, which is almost its best feature. No squeezing and folding to get all that air out, and no leftover trapped air to make packing it away more difficult. Two reasons I didn't give the mattress five stars are (1) it's quite hard when fully inflated (some people love that, but it doesn't really "give" at all for those who like a more cushiony bed), and (2) because it's up off the ground and there's so much air between the sleeper and the floor, it makes the mattress feel quite chilly, especially in the winter if the room is cold at all. That last part is fine for the summer, when a cool surface would be a plus, but not so much in the winter. I opted to get a mattress pad, which did help a lot, at least with the chill factor. All in all, I'm very pleased with the purchase.

I would like to give this 5 stars, as I feel this bed was an excellent choice for my needs. It inflated and deflated quickly as stated, and packed away with no problem. I had an upcoming visit from a relative, so I decided to sleep on it myself before that visit, and found it to be extremely comfortable and the height was very nice. However, I subtracted a star because I did have to use an existing 2" memory foam topper, as sleeping on the divots and ridges would have been uncomfortable. I would highly recommend some type of topper or thick mattress pad, and this will not shift around because the air mattress has flocking on the top. Also--a fitted sheet will not fit down around the base of this mattress because of the height...again, I covered only the topper with a fitted sheet (folded it underneath), and made up the rest of the bed as normal. My guest has an Aerobed, and as we looked it over, she was more impressed with this product than the Aerobed. Both nights that she stayed, she commented on how comfortable it was and she slept very well on it.

So far, it seems OK. The top isn't flat because of all those "Air Springs" they are talking about so I'd put a one inch mattress topper on this and then a fitted sheet. No way I am comfortable on this without at least a one inch topper. Also, instructions aren't very good. How do I know how much to inflate it WITHOUT over inflating? It does have an auty shut off if the motor overheats but so what?

For the price I paid, I was in hopes that it would stay mostly inflated during my sleeping hours. However, it does tend to lose air through the night and can make sleeping uncomfortable. I have used this for 3 weeks and still no difference in air loss. It does blow up quickly however and there is a feature to deflate it quickly as well. The storage bag it comes with gives enough room to put it in the bag without fighting it. The top seude part is nice and the thickness of this mattress is also good.

I have been using the mattress while sleeping at family's. I loved the mattress the first night. The second night seemed to have leaked out enough air that when I got out of bed in the middle of the night to use the facilities, as I sat on the bed my side was considerable close to the floor and upon returning and re entering the bed, I almost sent my fiancé catapulting in the air. If they can make it so no air leaks out it would be a great improvement.

Much better than sleeping on the floor. Just as others commented, this is much smaller than a queen size. The edges need more support, my wife and I found it very hard to get in and out of the bed. If you inflate it to the point that it is rock hard it makes it easier to get on and off and if you deflate it to where it is comfortable every movement reminds you of a full wave waterbed.. We were hoping that this could be a short term solution until we decided on a permanent mattress but we gave up using it after four nights.

I have owned two of these so far. My first was defective but the sound asleep team were so courteous and thoughtful they replaced it for me hassle-free.Compared to other airbeds I have owned, this one is really comfortable but takes a lot longer to expand and reach it's true size. It feels and looks like a full size at first but take my word on this... it does get big enough to be considered a queen.The built in pump makes it really easy to inflate and deflate this thing as needed. It takes roughly five minutes so you have time to go do a quick task assuming you do not forget about it. The cord for the plug which is rather short in my opinion can be easily folded and stored in the handy little compartment near the pump. I have one issue with this however and it is that the compartment has no door. I often find the cord on the floor right above the mattress. I fear the day when I realize I am sinking in only to find the prongs of the cord have punctured the mattress.Once the mattress has been fully inflated it is quite comfortable to sleep on. However as with a normal bed I also like to sit at the foot of the bed which is where another problem arises. Even when topped off on air one will sink down when sitting at the edge of this mattress. As mentioned above I have owned several air beds and this has not been an issue so i find it to detract from the overall comfort of the soundasleep bed. Even worse it also causes the opposite end of the bed to lift up. At 150lb I cannot imagine my weight being the cause of this.In case of rips or holes the mattress comes with two patches. My first one had some that looked like the clothlike surface of the mattress but came with no type of adhesive (something I failed to realize until 3am when I needed them most). The second mattress came with 2 patches clear in color that worked like a sticker and didn't require any glue. Not quite sure what determines the type of patch you get but rest assured I keep a bottle of super glue handy now.I can't say the price is reflective of the quality on this one.

Had this now for several months. Replaced a really great aerobed (about 10 years of use). Was excited by the reviews etc but this really doesn't compare in terms of sleep comfort and overall experience to the aerobed deluxe. 3 stars because you can sleep on it. minus 1 star because the motor is really loud, which is significant when putting up the bed while kids or others are sleeping in adjacent rooms. You also need to use the motor to deflate which means 2x the noise. It is a large bed so takes a little while to firm up too. Minus another star because it does loose some air over night--not a lot, but the aerobed would stay solid for many nights in a row without top off, and this would require it every day, if not a little during the night. It is an OK value, and priced well below a replacement aerobed so I'm satisfied enough not to complain about the product but cannot recommend.

I purchased this bed at the beginning of June and used it the first time on July 21st. It worked fine, at first, then about a week ago it would not inflate when turned on. When it did turn on, it started losing air. I figured, what the heck, it'll be ok. I love it it away and it worked a few days later.Now here's my other issue, when I turn it on to inflate, it deflates.I don't want this bed anymore but the company has a 1 year guarantee, I'm writing them today and will update this review when my issues are resolved. Hopefully with more than a 1 star.

I had to return this. It kept leaking and I finally figured out it had a small hole so I patched it and thought it would be OK. Every night it kept leaking even though the patched hole was no longer leaking. I could find no other source that air was coming from so I returned it. Amazon issued a refund. I don't know if I had a defective product or there was another small hole somewhere. It would have been perfect and was comfortable and I would have kept it otherwise.

Lowered from 5 to 2 star, it is handy, comfortable, and inflates pretty fast, but about 4 uses later cannot hold air more than 2 hours. Only ever used indoors on a clean wood floor for a few days at a time.

I'd much have preferred a bed without the built-in pump, because the check valve in this isn't great. It's super-comfortable on first inflation, definitely needs a few layers on top like most air mattresses, but deflates to uncomfortable and saggy halfway through the night.

I'll start with the pros; it inflated quickly, it was as comfortable as an airbed could be and the height off the ground is perfect.Cons; I ordered the queen airbed in end of November, used three times in house on carpet. It already has a hole in it somewhere because it is not holding air? seriously? I had an aero bed for almost 4 years and with a ton more usage. Heard great reviews about this bed and Im so disappointed that its already broken. Return policy is 30 days so off to get another Aerobed.

This bed was super comfortable when I first purchased it. Unfortunately after 6 months of on and off use the bed developed numerous leaks, which I tried to repair with patches (both supplied by the company and third party), with no luck. I feel like there should be some sort of warranty on an item like this because these leaks developed only after normal use and in under a year. The company did nothing besides offering me a worthless patch kit, which didn't come with the mattress to begin with. I won't be buying this brand again because of it, had they rectified the situation it would have been a different story. Buyer beware.

Piece of garbage.... few weeks in and hole just separates on top under my head. I thought the,negative reviews were over the top but they are true. Flimsy construction for 100$

Bed lasted 9 weeks and then went flat. Do yourself a favor and get either a day bed, pull out couch with bed or just put a mattress on the floor. Don't buy any of these beds. They are not made to last. I don't even want to give this product 1 star but have no other choice. I plan on calling the manufacturer and complaining.

Loses air from day 1. I read the directions, the first few times it is stretching and you need to add more air but I've had guests on it 10 times now and it loses air horribly in the middle of the night. BUY another brand!

The following account is a true story. I have experienced this with the last two mattresses I've gotten from this brand. I do not put them through any intense use and follow all direction provided.Evolution of a night spent sleeping on an air mattress:Hour 0:00 - Inflation: a process who's acoustic qualities can only be likened to living inside a vacuum cleaner.0:05 - Firm/Mattress like: Wow, what a nice bed you have. Put a sheet on it and you'd hardly know it was full of air.1:00 - Imperceptible Deflation: Or maybe you've just gotten really comfy?2:00 - Water Bed: Your sleep will begin to degrade just as subtlety as the air trickling from your bed.3:00- Hammock: Structural integrity is now severely compromised. Groggy wakefulness usually follows as you blearily realize that you're spine is attempting to assume the shape of a banana. I hope you were sleeping on your back.3:01 - Acceptance: Contemplation of the abysmal racket that would ensue if you were to attempt re-inflation is argument enough against any action. You are resigned to your fate.4:00 - We Have Touch Down: In a landing that would be the envy of any space agency, your protracted descent had finally made landfall, though your feet and head are still elevated in a slightly comical crunch position. Your abs will look great tomorrow.5:00 - Deflation Complete: It's been so long since you've watch the sun come up. Enjoy it as the loose skin of the par deflated elephant crinkles and ripples beneath you.

Like most, my initial impressions of this product where very high and would have easily given it 5 stars. However, before I write a review, especially on something like this, I wanted to hold off. I purchased this air mattress earlier this year for when family and friends stay over. While at first, this mattress exceeded all my expectations, however, over the last two months I have been introduced to guest sleeping on the floor. This mattress did not last five months and has two patched holes. If you only need this for a very short time and do not care if only lasts a few months then I would recommend this product, otherwise I would avoid it.

This is a terrible mattress for the money. I've had 2 and they both ripped at the dimple part on the top. I can't return it now because I'm out of the return windows. It is uncomfortable, lots of pressure points that make waking up painful. I don't recommend this mattress; the quality is poor for the amount of money you pay.
