Aesent's 4-man tent features an inflatable baseInflatable tents are nothing new, with offerings such as the Wedge, the Cave and the Kelty Mach 6 built around inflatable frames to speed up pitching times. But Utah-based start-up Aescent is turning things upside down with its four-man domed tent that features an inflatable mattress built into the base to provide a comfortable place to rest your weary bones after a day's hiking.Aescent claims its patent-pending tent is the first to feature an integrated inflatable base and can be set up in several minutes, with the base itself taking two minutes to inflate to a height of 6 in (15 cm). Aesent's focus was to create a tent that offered comfort above all else. With this goal in mind, and in an effort to avoid the flimsy, bouncy nature of common air mattresses, the company designed the base to have a series of intertwined chambers, compartmentalizing the air to provide a more supportive sleeping surface.As you'd expect, the underside of the base is made from a vinyl that is significantly thicker than you'd find on a regular air mattress, which the company claims makes it durable and puncture resistant.
While comfort may be a priority for some, others might prefer to travel light. With such campers in mind, Aesent made the inflatable base detachable simply by unzipping it from the shelter, revealing a second set of pole anchors and enabling you to set it up as a regular lightweight tent.Aesent is raising funds for its four-man dome on Kickstarter, where a pledge of US$160 will put you in line for the tent, aluminum tent poles and an attachable rain fly. Shipping is estimated for May 2014 if everything goes as planned.You can hear from Dan Robertson, CEO of Aesent in the video pitch below. OGL 2nd Inflatable Bag Sofa Lounge Flat Bed & Pillow Shape Easy to use and once in don't want to get up ,have liked it from day one just hope it can take all the workout I am giving it The principle of this sun lounger is novel, that you just waft it around in the air to inflate, but it takes considerably more effort than the instructions would have you believe. You also need a reasonable wind blowing.
I bought it to use in the pool, because all the pictures and all that you read on the net suggests that it is just the thing for floating around on the pool. It is very difficult to get onto, once you have it inflated and in the pool, and more to the point, it is very unstable and tips over in a flash. The loose fabric cover then becomes a real hazard if you have been tipped into the water and come up fighting the fabric cover. I would NOT let children use this unless you are in the pool with them, and I would advise against any adult using this whilst on your own in the pool. It tips over too easily and engulfs you.

It has a flat top with a couple inches of memory foam on it. It is the closest to a normal bed that we have ever seen or slept on. But like all air mattresses they eventually get little holes in it and you are trying to pump air into it at 3 in the morning. I’ve seen videos on Youtube of people trying to put their air mattress in a pool and try to sink it.
With all of the movement and the super small air bubbles it can be incredibly hard to find the holes. My husband has a super easy way to find even the smallest of hole in an air mattress, inner tube, or any other kind of blow up toy like pool toys. Simply grab a rag or wash cloth, get it quite wet to the point it holds the water but when you squeeze it the water comes out easily. Then lather it up with a couple squirts of dish soap. Then scan the surface of the air mattress or tube or other inflatables and look for any irregularities in the surface. Small little discolorations in the surface sometimes are where the small holes are. Those small holes can be so small that you can’t feel the air coming out but if you run the soapy rag over the hole then it will create soap bubbles. Move the rag around that area till you pin point exactly where the air leak is. Then use you finger and point to the area and dry off the surface. With a permanent marker make a small circle or X directly over the spot, maybe half and inch or finger nail width mark.
That way when you use a patch it covers the mark as well. To fix the hole you will need kits based on what type of air mattress you have. Many of the older air mattress are more vinyl then a plastic or pvc type material. You can try to use a rubber cement type kit that most bike inner tubes use. But if it doesn’t stick or adhere to it then the next best thing, and the only thing we use now, is the rubber patch from those kits but instead of rubber cement we use super glue. And glue the same patch from the kit on and press it hard against the mattress till it dries. Holding a small clear saran wrap or plastic film against it, you can peal it back or if it sticks to it just cut the excess off. It will be firm and not flexible like the rubber cement but it works so much better and wont peel back like rubber cement patches do. Once the patch with super glue has dried, say after 5 or 10 minutes, you can go ahead and fill up the air mattress to sleep on it. We have tried all kinds of repair kits and the rubber patch with the super glue has been the best fix for all types of air mattresses.
