Well, a friend lent me his double vacation home and I had to somehow fit my family (including my mother-in-law)... I got an extra 2 mattresses, which you can literally find everywhere now, almost at the same price of 14-15 euros... To avoid running around at the last minute, I bought an electric pump from Intex (with car power and home plug) for 20 euros and also just in case a manual double-action pump, also from Intex, the big one for about 10€... First of all, with the electric pump, it inflated to 95% in 1 minute and then I finished it off with the manual pump and it became rock hard... I had 7 satisfactory nights... It wasn’t a bed mattress but it was much better than some cots or other low-quality mattresses that some rented rooms have... I considered it a stopgap solution and had low expectations, on the contrary, I was pleasantly surprised... In my opinion, inflate it to its limits... I don’t know if the manufacturer recommends it or not, but even if they broke (not that anything happened) personally, the 30 euros are peanuts compared to the convenience they offer... I weigh 82 kilos and my daughter weighs 48, and she never complained... The mattresses deflated quickly with the electric pump, and folding them released the minimal air from inside... In short, when you get it, you know you will make some concessions in sleep quality... Here they are minimal, if I may say, unworthy of mention, and personally, I don’t care what the other reviews say... Inflate it properly, every 2 days give it another 3-4 strong inflations with the manual pump to replenish any lost air and you’re all set...

It is used as a solution for guests but not frequently. As an emergency solution, it is great, economical, a very good size, comfortably fits one person, and you can turn without fearing that you will fall. I also bought an electric pump (Intex Quick-Fill 220V, Skroutz Code: 66640) that inflates it in 1 minute and also deflates it in 1 minute. When deflated, the mattress folds up nicely and doesn't take up much space. The top part is velvety and the sheet or pillow doesn't slip at all. Its valve is double: when you open the first small valve and place the electric pump, it inflates without losing air. When you want to deflate it, you open the big valve and the air comes out more easily. But is it worth spending 13€ for the pump to inflate it easily, but also to quickly remove the air from inside, because it is not easy to completely deflate it by simply pressing it, and if it doesn't deflate completely, it doesn't fold up well. As a sensation, the mattress is comfortable, it moves somewhat but you get used to it in a few minutes. What we rarely think about is that when you sleep so low, it is not the easiest to get up. If someone with a problem, for example, with their knees sleeps there, they may need a little help to get up. I should add that depending on the user's weight, it creaks at times without being particularly annoying. NOTE: In winter, if the mattress touches the floor directly, the cold passes through to our back. So, if possible, it is good to have a mat underneath and on the top side, before lying down, to put at least a thin blanket.
