IntexComfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam Airbed with Built-in Electric Pump

Just received this a few days ago and boy is it comfortable. WARNING: I will be using that word quite a bit in this review. This is the best air mattress I have ever purchased. No kidding! It's not made like those flimsy ones that most people usually buy and it sits up high (hence the "Elevated" in it's name), which I like. Well worth the price which is great by the way. I have never found a quality air mattress for this price.PROSWell-madeComfortableBuilt-in inflatorHas a structure similar to a real mattressCloth-textured side for comfortInflates very quicklyFirmness and Softness can be adjusted for comfortCONSDon't have any as of now.Where am I using this air mattress you ask.... Well it's for guests but most importantly for myself when I want to take it in the living room and watch The Lord of the Rings Trilogy on the floor in comfort with popcorn in hand : ) .For the amount I paid I would purchase another one. Seriously, this is coming from someone who hasbought 4 or five air mattresses, even a few that cost more than this one. If you're looking for one that's of good quality and comfortable this is it........Comfortable*EXTRA TIP* For past and prospective customers if you accidentally rip it or poke a hole in it somehow, you can pick up the Tear-Aid Repair Type B Vinyl Kit at your local hardware store or on Amazon. It works. Invest in it if you want to hold on to your air mattress and not toss it in the trash when it starts leaking or gets ripped. By the way sometimes when it's leaking air there may be a tiny hole(s) on your air mattress. You have to find those little scoundrels and seal them if you're not ok with having to purchase a new one.

It took a long time and a lot of beds, but I think I finally found one that is right for my and my wife's camping trips!We have used many different beds and they all have fallen short of our needs. We used to camp in the middle of nowhere so having a battery operated pump was a must. But we are older now and mostly stay at sights with electrical hookups. So having this ultra fast to bring up and down bed is great. The height is a bit large and requires a larger tent to house it, but it makes up for itself by not deflating so that you and your significant other fall into each other through the night. As air gets colder it takes up less space so when we camp in the High Sierras our old bed used to shrink so much in the night that we had to pump it up several times. This one seems to have a much better system for keeping the air in and once in and so big even a quarter of the air coming out means your bed is still very tall. You won't find yourself lying on the tent floor.Pros+ Self contained pump+ Pumps out air as well so you can actually put this thing back into its bag!+ Very large so it will keep a lot of air throughout the eveningCons- Much firmer than most beds, can be different for those used to a plush bedI would recommend this bed to those who enjoy camping and have a large tent or to those who will have guests coming and need a quick way to give them a bed. For the latter usage it is actually nice that it is so tall. You don't feel like you are sleeping on the floor.* I am 250lbs and my wife is 160lbs and it supports us both comfortably.

I previously purchased this identical mattress in the 22 inch height. It was a bit tall to get on and off of comfortably but otherwise an incredible air mattress. This one is 18 inches and the first night was significantly more comfortable (compared to the 8 inch Target air bed - Coleman brand - that kept giving out after less than two weeks. od air bed and cheaper by a few cents than the cheaper quality Coleman Queen air bed from Target for 8 inches of air bed height (the one from Target was about $50 and this was about $48.99 including tax and no shipping and handling because it’s coming through Amazon prime).Nonetheless I do notice a difference between this and the 22 inch one. It’s not as sturdy or heavy weight so when I sit on the edge it starts to tip over.When my husband is on the other side I can get on and off more comfortable and it feels more sturdy with his counter weight but when I’m on it alone it’s a bit less comfortable.Another small problem is the non-breathability of the fabric. It’ covered with a fuzzy materials standard to air beds and we put a sheet over the top, but I still get damp from the plastic-ish feel. Probably the only way to combat this is to place a quilt underneath the sheet to create a bit of distance and breathability between my body and the air bed.I’m expecting to get at least a good year of use and probably more if we don’t sleep on it everyday. Once the baby arrives I’ll of course purchase and transition to a proper mattress because I co-sleep often with my babies and there is a risk of suffocation with an air bed. I would also never leave my toddler unattended on this air bed because it’s very deep and in the event it popped while she is on it it could engulf and suffocate a toddler. So just to throw that out there for people who share this mattress with a toddler and to advise people to never share it with a baby.I definitely would purchase this any time over an in store mattress and probably over other comparable airbeds for a similar price on Amazon but I did get a better bang for my buck, overall, with the 22 inch one. They are pretty much the same price, so if you’re debating which to get, deal with the extra height of the 22 inch (I’m 5’6” and pregnant and about 185 lbs). The taller air bed is more sturdy and a bit better quality.Through my Amazon prime trial it arrived less than 24 hours after I ordered it which is wonderful!
