Yonatan's Experience

This air mattress is amazing. My wife and I bought it for guests when we lived in a 1br apartment and ended up sleeping on it ourselves for 3 weeks before our bed arrived. We added a simple, cheap foam egg crate on top and it felt like sleeping on a great normal bed. We've had the mattress for 2.5 years now, all our guests have absolutely loved it too and some even ordered it for their home. When we first ordered it, after a few months of normal use the mattress deflated way more than it should after one night of sleep so probably a faulted mattress or got punctured somehow, I called the company and they were nice and really surprised that it happened and sent us a new one, no questions asked, which we have for over 2 years and used more than a few times. I highly recommend it! See More

Top Pro

Comfortable like a traditional bed

This inside of this mattress has built-in comfort coils that act like steel springs, making it feel similar to a regular mattress. See More

Top Pro

Easy to store and carry around

Most mattresses are difficult to tuck back in their tight bags or are too large and heavy when folded. The SoundAsleep mattress is easy to deflate, fold and roll back into its small bag for storage. This allows you to keep it in small spaces like on a shelf or inside your closet until it's needed. It's also portable in its lightweight carry-on bag. Good choice for those who move to different locations a lot and don't want to invest in furniture. See More

Top Pro

Great customer service

Their customer service is nice and helpful. Replacing a faulted mattress after a few months is pretty easy. See More

Top Pro

Resistant to punctures

Unlike cheaper mattresses of its kind that bursts after a month or two of use, this mattress is more durable and will last longer with normal use. This is because it's made with a thick, puncture-resistant 15-gauge PVC multi-layer material. See More
