Air bed question

Question

Are any of you who have air beds in your RVs concerned about what you would do if the bed started leaking air? (I mean losing enough air to go flat overnight.)

I bought a used Sleep Number bed (RV short queen) from a friend. I used it in my house to try it out first and really like it (with a memory foam topper on it). But I'm afraid to use it in the RV on long trips for the reason stated above. I know I could run out and buy another bed while traveling, but you can't always find a short queen on every street corner. Besides, buying a bed is a process for me.

Please share your thoughts.

We have had a Sleep Number for 6 years. One side did develop a leak, but it never went flat overnight. It was replaced under warranty.

If so, we would have purchased a cheap air mattress at WalMart until repairs could be made. It was what we did to "try out" air beds, initially before spending big bucks.

It is not a concern with us.

We have had an Expanded Queen Sleep Number bed in our coach for the last 4 yrs.  The only advice I can give you is to lower the air in the bed when you go up into high elevations.  If you don't you risk the air mattress popping due to too much pressure.
