Anyone seen them here on the North coast?

Just saw them at La Sirena in POP on end cap in front aisle near stationary.
I think they are on sale too and maybe in circular that you might be able to view online.

I was in Santiago and bought two at pricesmart. I think the queen was 3000 pesos. It is an Intex Model AP619A. It is very high and has a built in pump. Inside use only. I inflated this one and it seems nice.


The second is an Intex twin Model AP638. It includes a separate pump but it takes 6 C batteries. I have another pump that plugs in so I am not going to use the 6 C batteries. Can be used for camping and is low to the ground. I will see if I can find my receipt for the exact price.



I have bought folding tables and folding chairs from pricesmart. They are more expensive but they seem to be good quality.

They are prone to leaks, then the pump goes off and on all night. Not for a permanent bed.

my parents in poland have one that i use when visiting. good 50 cm tall, it's massive. no leaks or any other problems but man, it's not the most comfortable bed.

Yes they work for a while, but I don't think most will last a year of daily use. We have one for holiday visits and it lasted three Christmases before it got a leak, so about 10 days. I expect ones made for camping will be more durable.

i agree, i think they are generally not made for daily use. when i was in the scouts i had an inflatable mattress i dragged everywhere with me, heavy like sin. i was used mainly on weekends, sometimes only once or twice a month but it lasted decades. they don't make 'em like that anymore :(
