AirBedz by Pittman Outdoors - Lite Full Size Short Truck Bed Air Mattress, Green - 6-6.5' Long, with Portable DC Air Pump

I bought this air mattress mostly for a camping trip I take each summer, since I was sick of cramming a mattress "pad" and my dogs bed together in the back of my truck. Going from my old setup to this, was like making the switch from a sleeping bag on a concrete floor, to a new sealy mattress. I had been using the old setup for ~5 years, for so many trips, campouts, overnights, etc...and I'm NEVER going back! First, let me say I chose to take the risk, and bought the open box option for $99...figuring I would just return it if it didn't work out. The box was NOT opened, it was simply scuffed from warehouse handling, and the mattress was NOT affected in any way. The damage to the box was very light and inconsequential. Mattress was brand new. Immediately upon receiving it, I inflated it full, and placed a 100lb object on it for a couple nights, to be SURE it held air before trusting it as my only bed for a week. Held air like a champ. No issues whatsoever. So I took it on my trip. I used this air mattress for a full week, for myself @ ~160lbs and my dog @ 80lbs. It did NOT need to be adjusted or reinflated once! Yes, I did lay a few protective blankets down between the sheet and mattress so the dogs claws wouldn't be an issue, and they weren't! I am using this in a 2010 F150 with 6.5ft bed (and cap), and it fit very nicely leaving a little space at the tailgate end for shoes, bags, etc. It also left a little space on 1 side when pushed up against the other side over the wheelwell, so I stuffed a backpack under the open wheelwell spot, and used the empty side space for bags, food, etc space. One night my dog had stretched across the whole bed, and while sleeping I managed to let her push me up against the side of the truck...I was laying directly on top of the wheelwell and had NO idea...didn't even feel it under me! This mattress is very durable, very comfortable, and very easy to set up. I didn't have an issue with the inflator cord length, since I have a batt pack that I plugged into, so I don't know as far as whether it would reach my lighter plug or not. It did fit my 6.5ft F150 bed with room to spare on both the side and the bottom, at the tailgate. I was a little worried based on several bad reviews, but after my experience I suspect those bad reviews are being left by competing companies with inferior products...I would really bet money that's what's actually going on. After ordering this open box option, saving $100 and still getting a brand new, sealed box mattress, I could NOT be happier with this product. It came with the corded inflator, and a patch kit. I would absolutely encourage anyone on the fence to go with this product. Very well made, tough, easy to use, comfortable, etc. I expect to have and use this for many years to come. SO glad I didn't go with a cheaper chinese imitation one! Oh, and someone said it's hard to fit into the carry bag? Not even a little. After deflating for the first time after testing it, I was able to easily slip it back into it's carry bag the first try, with no issues whatsoever. I don't know if other reviewers are just nitpicky, and NEED something negative to whine about, or if they are simply trying to redirect you towards their cheaper china made garbage options...but for the money I have absolutely ZERO complaints. I had an awesome time camping, with my truck backed up to the edge of a lake, just laying with my pup on this mattress right there by the water, it was great! My dog REALLY loved the upgrade too! No comparison honestly. If you are unsure whether to go with this or the $60 china crap option, I would 100% buy this again, I would happily pay the $189 full price for another. There is still something to be said for "made in the USA", and this product proves that. I would strongly advise going with this option, if for nothing else just for the peace of mind of knowing you have a quality bed. Eventually maybe I'll spring for the upgrade, the $300 one...because these guys have got me as a loyal customer. Hope this was helpful for anyone struggling with options, and wondering whether it's worth the extra few bucks. These guys make a solid, high quality air mattress. The bad reviews, in my opinion, are a crock of...

Fit very nicely in my 2006 Tacoma 6 foot bed! I bought the “used” one, but it was brand new in box.

Once inflated, the mattress works well enough. The valve is a little bit fiddly and is harder to prepare for filling than it should be and the nozzle on the supplied pump needs to be held by hand to the valve. It won't just attach and remain in place while you fill the mattress. You have to hold the pump the entire time. Lastly, I wish the storage sack was just a tad bit bigger. You really need to pack the bed up tightly to get it and the pump back in. I've given up trying to include the pump in the bag. The force and subsequent sharp corners of the folded mattress worry me too much to try to squeeze everything in.Edit. I’m usually the first to break camp among our friends so I don’t like to make a lot of noise. Therefore, I don’t use the pump to deflate the mattress and this is why I struggle to get everything in the bag. When I got home from my last trip, I inflated the mattress to clean it and used the pump to suck the air out of it. It folded down way smaller and it and the pump easily fit in the bag. So, my fault and not Pittman’s. My criticism of the pump nozzles and the valve still stand.

So, my husband and I love to go camping, but the last 2 times we found lying on the ground in our 50's... not a good idea. He bought the truck tent, so I compromised and bought this mattress specifically for our 2009 Toyota Tacoma. It fit extremely well in the bed of the truck, designed to go around the wheel wells. Plugged it in to our cigarette lighter to blow it up...We slept comfortably all night along with our PUG, and didn't wake up in the morning lying on a flat mattress. Now keep in mind, the next day we added more air to it, to plump it up abit, but we were still good for night2. This was awesome! Highly recommend. Now we actually look forward to camping vs dreading.

So far an amazing air mattress blew it up before hand like it suggests and it stayed pretty taught for like 3 days.Takes about 10 mins to inflate but fits great in my 1996 Toyota Tacoma Xtra cab bed.And extremely comfortable.
