We are staying in a condo and need one more sleeping bed so are planning to buy an air mattress. We thought of just stopping by Walmart, Costco or Target to purchase one (hopefully not too expensive). I am wondering from either local folks or regulars think we can find a good, self inflating one there in a store - OR does anyone know if there is a store that will ship it to a store where we can pick it up there (store to store shipping). I don't think we will be able to have it sent to the condo as no one can probably be there to pick it up. Thanks for your help - I'm really not sure what to do. Just buy it when you get here. You can find them almost anywhere. Target or Wal-Mart should have them. The Sports Authority may also. We just got a self-inflating Queen Aerobed at Costco. It was $130 I think. Costco has a $30 off coupon right now..We really like it and so do our guests. As msfuzz said, you can pick them up on island, a lot of stores carry them. My relatives have gotten them for extra guests,, they come in handy!
Walmart has a queen for around $80. Located mountainside of the Ala Moana Center Edited: 12:17 am, June 25, 2013We will most likely be heading north, so stopping at the Pearl City Walmart. Is that as large a store as the one near Ala Moana? Back home there can be a HUGE difference in the size and scope of what Walmarts carry. Don't want to drive a ways and find it's one that doesn't carry this type of thing. If we would have better luck heading into the city, we definitely can. In your case, I would call to make sure. Sometimes suppies run low, especially in summer. I was going to mention that you can always do the site-to-store ordering option, but I checked online and neither store has that function available. So, I found another thing Hawaii isn't offered.... Just an FYI: The site-to-store shipping option is available only in the contiguous US. So not for Alaska either. Don't know the size of the person needing the air mattress, but we RV and tent camp alot and recently purchased a "skinny" (cot) size Coleman from Walmart for the grandchildren.
As long but not as wide as well as being lighter than regular twin but doesn't self-inflate. Weighs only 3 1/2 pounds and takes about as much space as a folded beach towel. I've also slept on it and found it okay in a pinch. Edited: 1:56 pm, June 25, 2013 Not normally a big fan of Walmart here on the mainland, i did decide to take jet83's advice and call to see if they carried them and what I could do. Well, to my surprise and delight the assistant manager at the Mililani Walmart went out of her way to ask for what features I wanted, check stock, and call me back with several options and offer to hold one for me. I was astounded by the excellent service by Julia. I will definitely do my shopping there while on Oahu. Good news for sure.

But buying a mattress? That event is almost ZERO parts zen. There's much to consider when hunting for the centerpiece of your bedroom -- but the mattress-buying process doesn't have to be a nightmare. Here's a quick briefing that will ensure your shopping trip is as smooth as a midday nap.
There is indeed a "cheapest" time to buy. Most experts recommend purchasing a mattress near a holiday -- like Presidents Day, Labor Day, the Fourth of July, and Memorial Day -- or in the month of May, when mattresses are usually marked down in showrooms. In January, you can start prepping for your mattress purchase at "white sales," which are deeply discounted sales for bedding. Higher prices does not mean better sleep. One of the biggest complaints when buying a mattress is price, and figuring out why they cost so damn much. This is usually attributed to large markups, which depends on the brand. We recommend staying in the $500 to $1200 range, as anything over that price doesn't necessarily indicate better quality or better sleep, and probably has the same amount of cushioning and support as more expensive mattresses. You can negotiate your price. Though it may surprise most people, it is possible to negotiate the price at most of the bigger mattress chains.
Robin Wilson, an eco-friendly interior design expert, says that if you bargain "at a department store, you might be able to get tax taken off the mattress price, or delivery for free." You'll also have a better chance of getting a discount or redeeming a coupon if you go to the store to purchase a mattress, rather than buying online. "Firm" mattresses are not the same "firmness" everywhere. Yes, labels may tout a mattress's level of firmness, but one brand's "firm" may be another brand's "soft," according to Consumer Reports Expert Shopper Tod Marks. "The only way to determine if the cushiness and the firmness is right for you is to lie down on the bed and try it for yourself," he says. It's harder to return a mattress than you think. Most mattress retailers (from IKEA to Tempur-Pedic) will allow you to try out your mattress for up to 90 days, but they differ on the amount of money you'll get back if you return it. Other stores require an exchange fee or disposal fee, which can cost hundreds of dollars.
There are organic options. The squishy foam on mattresses is often made from petroleum oil, which (not surprisingly) can cause health problems for some. Organic mattress brands like Keesa use their own foams that put plant oils into the mix. While they may be more costly, all-natural mattresses are worth it, says Wilson. "We spend one third of our lives sleeping," she explains. "Consider your mattress a health investment." You can order a mattress online as easily as you can order a pair of shoes. Yup, you'll find mattresses right in the Amazon store, many listed with free shipping. And a whole new suite of boutique mattress retailers (like the newly-popular Casper) operate solely online, sending mattresses to your door in a nice, neat box. These new online retailers often allow returns for a full refund, without any fees or charges whatsoever. But the old standby brands -- which you might find on discount sites like Overstock -- likely won't do the same, so it's smart to go test them out in a store first.
