Size is another reason that I dislike air mattresses. My BIG, very comfortable and inexpensive Sportsman's Warehouse thermo-rest style mattress takes up less than half the space of an air mattress, is easier to setup and much simpler to repair (although I haven’t punctured a thermo-rest style mattress in years). Even when car camping (truck camping in my case) it is nice to save space and weight.
My air mattresses are reserved for guests at home now, too much of a PITA in the field.
