My First Ready Bed - Thomas & Friends

Consisting of a blow-up air bed fitted snugly into a fleecy sleeping bag, the bed features a colourful picture of Thomas. The Ready Bed can be pumped up quickly--an adult could have the bed up and ready within 10 minutes using the small foot pump included, or using an electric pump it takes just a couple of minutes.

The whole bed can be just as quickly deflated and folds down into a matching cylindrical nylon zip-up bag, also included. It is light and portable and will easily fit into a larger suitcase or kit bag. Although this isn't the strongest of bags, it is adequate for keeping the bed packed and for travelling.

The bed zips up along one side, and measures roughly L=155, W=67 & H=20cm, perfect for accommodating young children. It stores away using the minimum of space and as the sleeping bag and blow-up bed are detachable, the fleece bag is washable at 30 degrees. This is a great present and a useful all-round standby for unexpected sleep-overs or unannounced guests. --Lucie Hyde
