BCB Collapsible Bed

Advantages: Quick to inflate

...When we are not working, we like the odd occasional night out, and normally that would involve dropping Ben off to a baby sitters and all the hassle that goes with it. Sometimes Ben is all up for the idea of going to nanny and granddad's and when we first get there he's fine, but when we go to leave he doesn't want to stay, so it's the usual persuasion and then when we do leave, neither of us enjoy ourselves because we feel guilty for leaving him. We decided that the best thing to do was to get some one to come to us instead to look after him, so we did that in the form of one of Steph's younger sisters, she was happy enough to do this as it meant she would earn a little bit of cash to get credit for her phone and for magazines and make up!! The problem was we only have a two bedroom flat with only two beds, so where would she... Read review

...For some reason, Mum always liked having a spare bedroom. We live in a 4 bedroom house, and originally, there was the Master room for mum, then a bedroom for my sister, and me and my two brothers shared the next room, leaving another free.

...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... Read review
