Intex Dura-Beam Deluxe Comfort-Plush Elevated: Fiber-Tech – Queen Size – Built-in Electric Pump – 18in Bed Height – 600lb Weight Capacity

I needed a portable bed for that one preteen who wasn't going to share a hotel bed. I like the higher air mattresses so you get up off the sometimes cold floor. You can see from the picture this bed is tall! That made it easy to get into. It stayed inflated for two nights. I did reinflate it as the company suggested because the vinyl stretched back into shape from the first filling. The flocked top is comfortable and seems like it will wear well. I did buy some elastic sheet stays because a regular sheet is too short to fit. That worked fine. The electric pump works well to fill and deflate. It is a little noisy but not bad. Because we were not careful in packing, I put a hole in the bottom of the bed. A patch was included and it was strong enough to make the needed repair and held for another use. This bed also came with a carry bag. This is a good product and I would buy from this company again.

Excellent mattress, it inflates relatively quick and I can adjust the firmness by controlling the amount of air inflation. It is comfortable and does not slide around. When deflated, it folds into small package. It comes with a carrying bag which is great for taking on a road trip. I got it on sale, so it was a great value.

I have been sleeping on air mattresses for about 5 years now. Yes, every night. The reason is that I cannot afford a decent new mattress and before switching to an air mattress, I had used mattresses. Most developed "sink holes" and those who sleep on an older mattress know what I mean - a spring or something inside has shifted and that spot...well, it's a dip that you have to figure out how to avoid when sleeping. But the basic reason is because I am an older lady that lives alone and when I have moved, I have moved myself so as not to bother people. I have mostly flat pack furniture so I can break it down and move it myself. Having an air mattress fits right in with that ease of moving my own stuff. The IDOO I had was a great deal, though I had last had a King Coil 22" that I really liked EXCEPT for their "pillow" area (the part at the head is inclined and that bothered me since I am an "arm sleeper" - put one arm up under my pillow, under my head and hang it off the bed). Other than that part King Coil is a great air mattress bed. Now for this Intex - I have had a couple of different Intex items and find they make quality stuff - first was a smaller, rectangular pool that wasn't too hard to set up (but I did need a friend to help with putting it up) and I currently have their inflatable loveseat that unfolds to become a bed. It's a nice extra piece of furniture/bed, but wish it had the internal pump which it doesn't. Still, it is a serviceable spare seating and sleeping piece that can be put up quickly enough. NOW, for this bed - back to my 22" height and I am SO HAPPY with that part of it. When you are older, getting UP off something is harder than scooting down off that same thing! Meaning that I have no problem getting on a bed (no matter what the height), but in the morning, when I'm groggy and not 100%, trying to push myself up off the 18" wasn't horrible, but it wasn't fun at all. With this Intex 22" queen, my feet dangle just a bit off the floor and pushing myself off and DOWN is just so much easier. I was also relieved that the pump is at the top (or could be the bottom, depending on how you orient the bed) as my outlet is at that spot on the wall behind the bed. The IDOO had the pump on the side so the cord had to be put up under the bed...I didn't like that. This Intex, like all the air mattresses with an internal pump, it inflates (and deflates) very quickly. Around 5 minutes. What's easy is taking down an air mattress - most of them come with a carry case as this one did - and if you flip the sides in, then do a fourths fold up, it will fit in the bag and isn't too terribly heavy even for me to carry. The IDOO developed a leak and instead of trying to patch it, as I have slept on it for about 2 years, I deflated it, put it in the bag it came with and threw it away. This Intex, I had it out of the box an fully inflated in less than 10 minutes. Made the bed and laid down on it - aaahhhh! So, if you are in need of a spare bed for overnight guests on occasion OR you have had it with your lumpy old "regular" mattress and having sticker shock over the memory foam, purple, pillow top and other replacements, you might want to try an air mattress. Even if you only use it long enough to save enough money for one of those $500-$1000 mattress, this $75 mattress will allow you to sleep well, night after night after night.

I really like the bed, easy set-up and quite comfortable. Love the built-in inflation, so no need to look for pump every time. Since purchase, we have only used it a handful of times in the (under) year of ownership. The issue began when we last pumped it up and we realized that it was deflating rapidly and would no longer stay inflated anymore. We visually checked everything to best of our ability and determined it looked “normal”. Still no luck. This bed was sold with the promise of “puncture resistant” listed under Special Features! That is the number one reason I purchased it. I was very disappointed, so I decided to contact Intex support. I want to give them credit, I used the chat feature and was connected to a real agent upon request right away. He had a lot of questions, and I had to jump through some hoops that I wasn’t happy about because I told him this was an air mattress not a refrigerator and I was only up for limited troubleshooting in this case. He understood and had me perform a couple of troubleshooting procedures such as using soapy water and investigate the entire mattress for leaks. OK, done, no leaks were found. He was somewhat satisfied with that and I asked them to just replace it at this point. He agreed, and I had to go back online answer a few questions on a form and upload receipt and that was done. Two days later I received replacement! Impressive. I just want to say this is the kind of customer service that you want to see. This is how to build brand loyalty. So bravo and thank you Intex!

My mother in law came to visit and we wanted her to sleep comfortably so we went for this. We love that all you have to do is connect the cable and let it inflate by itself she said it's even more comfortable than her mattress back home. The height is perfect for her and great quality.Overall happy with our purchase.

We bought two of these because they were such a great price. We've never had good luck with other inflatable mattresses but I was hopeful these would be different and they did not disappoint! It was super quick and easy to inflate which took just a few minutes. We literally had both fully inflated in minutes and deflating was easy as well. The mattresses are thick and sturdy which is great when you have nosey cats who want to check them out! I have not personally slept on the, but the teens seemed to think they were very comfortable and had no complaints! They stayed inflated and did not leak air. Very pleased and would highly recommend!
