When I saw this, I got really excited about it's potential if it worked.

It does.

Deep down in it's heart, this is 2 inflatable twin mattresses. The great thing is the configurability (please feel free to use my new word, there, just give me credit). You can use it as one, double thick twin. Or you can undo 2 connectors and make 2 separate twin mattresses. Or you can keep them connected and fold them open to make one king size mattress. Or, and this is where it really rocks, you can flip up part of one of the twin mattresses while it's double thick and make a sofa. It is an actual, functional sofa. It can hold 2 regular adults, and it even has cup holders in the arms.

One of my initial concerns was that it would not be good in all configurations, but the fasteners keep the twins firmly together in king size mode,  and the way the funky twin is designed makes it so that you hardly notice it's not your usual air mattress if you put the correct side down.

Caveats-
1) You are not going to blow this up in one day without a pump. Well, maybe, but it's a lot of air. If you try you should get a good buzz going, though.
2) It needs to be FULLY inflated if you're going to use it as a sofa. What is good enough lying down isn't necessarily good enough when all your weight is concentrated in the (hopefully) small area of your backside. You don't want your tail-bone to bottom out.
3)Do not flop on to this sofa. a)see last sentence of #2 b)It's well made and all, but if you drop too fast that greatly increases your effective weight and you can blow it out.

So, this thing is a luxury. There's no denying that, but it's a pretty cool luxury to have in your camp, and the price is pretty good.

My husband saw this the other day and wanted one. I had my doubts but maybe we will try it out after all. Thanks.
