We bought two ready beds - Barbie for my 3 year old daughter, and Bob the Builder for my 5 year old son.
Both my children were very excited and couldn't wait to try the beds out.
The literature promises that you can blow the bed up, using the hand pump within 4 minutes - this was true - and very easy to accomplish.
The bed has an inner part that is inflatable, and fits inside a snug fleecey sleeping bag. You can blow it up full - which in my view is a little hard. My children prefer it slightly soft, which molds better to their bodies. The pillow though is very hard.
For my daughter it was an instant hit - she would sleep in it every night if she could. My son however, did not take to it, and has never spent a full night in it.
My daughter's unfortunately developed a puncture ( which I feel was down to all the jumping she did on it), and we just haven't been able to locate where it is (the bed does come with a puncture repair kit). However we were able to take the inflatable bed from my son's and place inside my daughter sleeping bag.
My son loves to sleep in just the sleeping bag, and finds that most comfortable, although I fear not warm enough for winter.
Details : -
The bed is approximately 155 x 67 x 20cm.
Inflatable sleeping bag inflates in less than four minutes.
Includes pump and sleepover case.
Removable cover for easy washing.
Suitable from 3 months.
I think they probably outgrow them by the time they are 7 or 8 years old.
Can be bought from Argos, Toys R Us etc. Prices at around £29.99.
All sorts of design : - Barbie, Bob the Builder, Fimbles, Thomas the Tank, Winne the Pooh etc.
We have taken them on holiday with us, and they are a great idea if you have childern sleeping over.
Very light weight, and fits nicely into its own travel bag, with pocket for the pump.

So pleased someone took the time to leave a review for the ready bed. Children are expensive enough without spending money on things that don't do the job. I shall buy one now.
Cheers

Great op though i'd be a little wary of using it from 3 months! Tamsin xx

I didn't realise these were suitable from such a young age. Natasha x
Advantages: Easy to fold away & store when not in use. A good idea! Disadvantages: puncture far to easily & although a good idea in theory VERY poor quality .
