She also noted that the tall height made it much easier to make the bed in comparison to some other more traditional air mattresses. We suggest using sheets designed for a mattress one size larger than the airbed (i.e., putting Queen-sized sheets on a Full-sized air mattress) due to the extra height. This particular model is part of Intex’s Dura-Beam line which comes in a variety of heights and sizes to fit any home. In Lab, we tested the 22-inch queen-sized mattress with a built-in electric pump for automatic inflation. Many of the mattresses in this line come with a pump built in, which makes it easy to inflate and deflate the mattress as long as you’re patient enough to wait a few minutes for it to get done.
We attempted to puncture the surface with a pet brush in order to see how much pressure the outer layer could withstand, and the thick material held its own. Overall, we were very impressed with the quality, value, and performance of this air mattress, and we’re confident that it will hold up over time. Many airbed mattresses also feature cooling gel and memory foam layers that enhance their comfort levels even more. There’s nothing worse than an air mattress that deflates while you’re sleeping on it. A few things to keep in mind is that you don’t want to over-inflate your air mattress, which will put excess strain on the seams.
Add or remove air with the inflate/deflate switch on the internal built in pump to get your perfect fit. Not only is our best air mattress with built in pump customizable, the navy blue upholstered flocked top over the gray base is pleasing to the eye and doesn’t require bedsheets so there is no added expense. Quality is always essential when making a purchase and this blow up bed will definitely be an asset. Made from 100% PVC, our queen air bed with flocked top is puncture resistant and will hold up to movement around the home. This inflatable mattress folds for storage and easy transport and features integrated cord storage and a carrying case making it an excellent addition to your campsite tent or RV.
For a great rest, convenience, and a no-hassle set-up add Intex Blow Up Mattress Air Bed to your next camping trip or guest room. Having a trusty air mattress around comes in handy more often than you would think. Each bed is covered in plush flocking that is soft to the touch, and the horizontal air chambers provide added stability and support. The mattress is easy to inflate with the built-in pump, which does its job in 2.5 minutes. This sits at 18 inches from the floor, making it easy to get in and out. The mattress is an official twin size, making it a good fit for fitted sheets.
This air mattress is part of Intex’s Dura-Beam line – this consists of mattresses that are 13″, 18″, 20″, and 22″ tall, and customers can also choose from Twin, Full, and Queen size models. The Dura-Beam Hi-Rise Premium Comfort Airbed with Internal Pump is a Queen size and is 22″ tall. Before you use your mattress for the first time, stretch it out over a 48-hour period by fully inflating it and continuing to top it up periodically. This process will help the material adjust, something you should do before you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night on top of a partially expanded mattress. Also, temperature fluctuations can change the air density and lead to the illusion of a mattress deflating. If your room gets a lot colder at night your mattress will feel softer, so try to keep the temperature changes minimal.
The tubular design gives it the look of a pack of hot dogs, and the one raised, horizontal hot dog that’s meant to approximate a pillow rest sets the mattress askew, which makes it more unstable. The Beautyrest air mattress has the same pack-of-hot-dogs design as the Bestway air bed and the precarious feel of a pool float. (Many companies that make air mattresses also make inflatable pools and pool accessories. Go figure.) It lacks the stability of other air mattresses and I nearly tipped it over by lying too far to one side.
Additionally, there was little motion transfer, which made it easy to share the bed with a partner. An air mattress is a convenient way to have a guest bed ready to go in a matter of minutes. Because they can easily be deflated and packed into a compact size, they’re also ideal for travel. An air mattress offers flexibility, without sacrificing too much of your home’s usable space. Because airbed mattresses often offer separate air chambers for greater customization, it’s possible that one chamber can be inflated to a greater degree than the others, causing the appearance of a bulge.
Many of the intex queen air mattress come with a built-in automatic pump; other models come with a small foot pump. The company has been around for many years and they offer air mattresses of all different shapes and sizes; they have everything from simple camping mattresses to luxury mattresses for long-term in-home use. Mirescu asserts that she tried to return the mattress to Wal-Mart, but the store only offered her an exchange. Her new Intex air mattress again deflated a short time later, so she exchanged it also for another mattress. The complaint states that “this pattern repeated itself multiple times.” In total, Mirescu alleges that she exchanged four Intex mattresses in Texas and three more in Arizona, that were all defective.
