Inflatable Hideabed Mattress

Question

We have a Hideabed sofa with an inflatable mattress. It's great, comfortable, never deflates on its own, and easy to inflate. Problem is in putting it away on a nightly basis when family comes camping with us.  It's time consuming to deflate, fold up, zipper in its pouch, snap in place, then fold up and away. I'm wondering if a good foam rollable mattress could be substituted to be able to stow it easier, or just show DIL and son how to put it away each morning after they get up?

Yours must be different than ours. We just deflate the mattress and then it folds up with the sofa bed. Really simple.

Do you know if yours can be done this way. If not, I think I would instruct the kids (using the term lightly) on how to put everything away.

Ron, thanks for the reply.  I'll double check and see if it can be left flattened out and folded up with the bed. I've never double checked that. It came folded up in a black nylon zippered cade in the sofa when we unfolded it.

We plug it back in and turn the switch to deflate, it takes about 30 sec.

the mattress we had was an Air Dream mattress. You just deflate it and it folds up in the sofa. The bladder developed a leak after many years but you can purchase just the bladder.  Comes with the pump to inflate. Very comfortable.

Ours also folded up into the couch. Just pressed a button on the remote to deflate.  There was a notch in the lower middle back of the couch for the motor to set in.  Could set up or take down in less than 2 minutes.  Our kids took care of setting it up since they slept in it.
