very disappointed

My 3 yr old son was very excited to get this and I thought it would be a good trial bed for transition to a twin size bed. I left the bed out on an enclosed porch to air for a week and the odor is still so strong neither of us can tolerate it- itchy, watery eyes and sneezing. The foot pump was basically useless, my husband had to use a hand pump and it took about an hour to inflate it. The bed is really cute and my son loved it but I will have to return it. FYI- The bed is very large, almost as wide and long as my queen size bed.
