I always wanted a bed for the living room because my bedroom gets very hot in the summer. I used this air mattress several times a week throughout the summer and I had no problems! The built-in pump is extremely useful and it also removes air quickly. It stays puffy for a few days but is flexible enough to be deflated and put away every day. It takes a bit to inflate, but not too long. Its also very quiet. I tried other air mattresses last summer and this one held up MUCH better I also like that its height is more like a regular bed.
