    dynamite?

    Have a friend that has had one of those with the inbuilt fan to blow it up and can be reversed to deflate it, double height one. It has lasted 5 or more years, used it at New Year. We have tried several of the single height ones you blow up with an external pump but they all fail within a couple of uses. Some of The Warehouse ones did survived being used as a bouncy floor long enough to be use as beds, about two out of six, so guess they weren't too bad.

    Another trouble with them is, because they are fill of air, they are at air temperature and therefore always cold so you need a snow foam or something on top of them.

    i have a wharehouse one for $10. works well for the last 3 or 4 years. Starting to get to the point where you need to pump it up mid week when camping but its ok.

    The double size (height) beds look amazing.

    might be time to lose some weight fatty.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    If you mean the Intex brand ones (Warehouse, Briscoes etc) I don't find them too bad. Does help to use a pair of shifting pliers on the bung/cap...just a smidgen more of a turn tighter than the fingers can manage.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I always put an old woolen blanket underneath ours (I kid you not, it is full of holes) . Even on a concrete floor in winter, I have never found it cold!

    We use a Warehouse one - "a blue one" C.B. said when I asked her what make.

    It has lasted at least three years and is still OK.

    We use a 'nelectric pump' that clips on to the bikes battery.
