>Gene.........Have you checked the price on the Select Comfort? That's lots
of bucks for a tiny little compressor that does the same thing as the "blow"
side of a vacuum cleaner. My wife and I have slept on air mattresses every
night for the past 20 years and love them. They're light in weight,
comfortable and nothing like the camping type air mattresses. Sponge is
nice, but you can't fold it up and stow it away like you can an air
mattress. Let's say you find a nice antique table while you're travelling.
All you have to do is stash the air mattress in a cupboard, put the dresser
where the bed is, put your wife upon the roof rack with her goggles on and
head for home..............Jim Davis
