Deluxe comfort, versatile, durable, reliable!





By Ms. Deborah S. Eidson
As a Vacation Rental owner I need additional beds to accommodate large groups. Having a leaky air mattress deflate on a guest would be a nightmare for me. Having all ages of guests it is important that the mattresses be double high or 22" or about. 

Who wants to be inches off the floor? My requirements are; comfort, durability, ease of inflating and deflating, ease for user to control firmness and support, and storage. I have tried all of the air mattresses on the market, from inexpensive to high dollar, with and without built in pumps, low to high profiles. Before double high mattresses where on the market I would stack two mattresses on top of each other, well it was comfortable it had a tendency to walk off each other.

 Mattresses without built-in pumps would somehow need the adaptor that wasn't put back in my pump bag. If the pump was exposed my over zealous tenants would inevitably take it off to deflate the mattress and parts would often get lost or broken. I have enough different brands of mattresses that I can stack to the ceiling.

When I discovered Intex air mattresses my fears were put to rest. They have proven to be the most comfortable, inexpensive solution that outlasts the competition in durability and reliability. I have 10 twins and 2 Queens and every one of them is leak free and they are about 2 years old and I feel they are still reliable. They hold up to the ware and tare of extended use and various users. 

The pumps are encased so they can't be taken out or leak air, many external pumps I found would be the source for slow air leaks. I can inflate/deflate, and fold them easily to go back in their supplied tote bag. Many of my guests have been so impressed with their comfort, comparing them to a sleep number mattress; they have asked were they could buy one. 

The twins are large enough to accommodate tall and heavy guests, much to their surprise. I have one twin that has been inflated for over a year, with an occasional inflation maybe once a month. Our two labs and cat have claimed it for their own personal use, and guess what it has held up remarkably. We have taken it camping, all you need is a converter gadget that will allow you to plug into a 12v and you can use your car lighter to inflate it.
I highly recommend Intex air mattresses, for durability, versatility, reliability and most important they are inexpensive compared to other brands on the market.

Spacious for two but may be a squeeze for four





Gelert Rocky 4 Person Tent 



By Mrs. Katharine Kirby  
We  bought this for our grandson's birthday, as a play tent and to use for sleep outs in the garden. It came in a tidy roll pack the size of a small sausage shaped sports bag with carrying handles, and opened out neatly with the instructions sensibly sewn into the bag. A useful repair kit, labelled clearly for resealing the seams if required, also tent pegs in drawstring bags, the poles also in their own bag, all easy to recognize and understand.

The tent went up in a very short time even with help from little ones. The poles are all thankfully attached to each other by elastic which made it all simple to work out. They fit into clever key arrangements at ground level.


 First up is the inner section with ground sheet all as one for the sleeping area, with a zip opening door into the little porch for storing your stuff all with easy to tie back flaps.


 These flaps allow you to have clear view from the porch or more discreet covers.

 Pockets and pertinent fire warnings are sewn in to the sides of the sleeping area, little air flaps too.

 Toggles and elastic wherever needed, all logical and obvious. Then the waterproof cover goes on and is all encompassing, reassuringly well made and waterproof with guy ties already in place to secure the tent.A few alterations to angles and it looks the business.

I am glad I chose the four man version as really it is quite perfect for two, well roomy enough for comfort. A substantial tent at a great price, should give a lot of pleasure and be useful throughout it's life. On it's first day it was used during a birthday party for 20 children and nothing broke!

The Many Benefits of a Retractable Cord Reel

Pacsafe RetractaSafe 100 Secure Retractable Cable Lock
By Julia E Spence

If you're tired of electrical power cords laying all over your home, garage, or office, it's time you start shopping for a reliable, high-quality extension reel. While there are many types of extension reels available, among the most durable and convenient types to use are retractable reels. Outlined below are some of the most attractive benefits of retractable cord reels, and why these are highly useful for any home or office setting.

Organize electrical cords and extension wires
A retractable cords reel keeps electrical cords in place, especially when not in use. In general, it is used to wind cords, cables, and wires - especially electric cords and extension wires - in one place. There are several types of extension reels, including regular, hind wind, wall mounted, bucket, and retractable reels. There are other similar types as well. Since a retractable cord reel does the winding on its own, organizing all your cords and wires is almost effortless.

Self-stop or self lock features
Since retractable reels are self-winding it's easy to assume that these are complicated to use. However there are features which keep the cords from winding themselves while you are using them. A self-stop mechanism automatically locks the cords in place so that you can use the wires conveniently and safely. After using the cord, one tug will send the cord winding on its own, keeping the electric wires in an easily accessible but organized place.

Ensure safety
Dangling or scattered electrical cords are a potential hazard, especially if you have small children in your home. Loose wires all over the floor may also cause stumbling accidents. A retractable electric reel that winds the cords and keeps them in place helps you ensure safety and orderliness around your home or office.

Versatile
Many retractable reels are designed to suit a variety of settings. These reels are always handy to have around the home and the office, but they may be useful in vehicles, boats, hospitals, and health care clinics as well. There are models specifically made for medical use, or those designed merely for use indoors. These retractable power cord reels may be mounted on different surfaces, from walls and floors to benches and ceilings.

Electrical cord reels can come in many different types but a retractable cord reel, such as the Coleman Cable Retractable Electrical Light/Power Cord Reel, makes keeping and winding your cords a simple and effortless task each and every time.
