Intex Dura-Beam Deluxe Comfort Plush Airbed Series with Internal Pump (2021 Model)

Product Information

When you turn the knob to the correct position to inflate the bed, the deflate arrow is actually lined up in the middle which causes some confusion. The inside support layer comes with the Fiber-Tech construction, the multiple air chambers that are sectioned off by the fiber tech walls to distribute weight and keep you up on the mattress, instead of sinking through it as with most air mattresses. Keep in mind that, because these are air mattresses, they are not necessarily built for regular, sustained daily use.

So some of the feedback I share here will be about whether these models will stand up to temporary use and feel comfortable for your relatives and children, or in a dorm room or guest room, etc. For added convenience the powerful internal pump easily inflates and deflates the air mattress within minutes. Stomach Sleepers will also want an air mattress with a pillowtop to get that contouring around their tummies.

In Lab, we tested the 22-inch queen-sized mattress with a built-in electric pump for automatic inflation. Another aspect our experts, analysts and consumer reviewers absolutely love is the height of this air mattress. Keep in mind that air mattresses are not built for specific sleep positions, but aim to offer you as comfortable a sleep experience as possible, in a portable and affordable package. The 22-inch Queen airbed that we tested weighs about 19 pounds when inflated and folds down to a fraction of its size when deflated making it great for stashing in the closet. So, when I look at their air mattresses, I know I’m getting more than a plastic bag filled with air.

Because it’s such a thick mattress (24 inches), it needs more materials and design features to hold up. They won’t get as much as a traditional mattress, but some contouring is better than none, even in a temporary situation. For decades, the Good Housekeeping Institute has been providing expert reviews and advice on beds and bedding.Guests (and myself) are always twisting the arrows and knob the wrong way or not pushing the on and off switch down before turning," she says. That being said I really like the way it works, but I'm not confident that the quality is very good. We found it to be a comfortable and supportive mattress that pops right out of the box, and even better, fits right back in for easy storage.

Prior to starting at GH in 2021, she worked at BuzzFeed and People, covering a combination of product reviews and lifestyle content. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of an air mattress is its air retention, and while testing air mattresses, we found that the Intex barely lost any air overnight. Your houseguests will appreciate the luxurious comfort this Rising Comfort® Elevated air mattress provides.The Mid-Rise Premium Comfort™ Queen Air Mattress, which offers a capacity of 600 pounds, is a terrific choice whether you're sleeping at the in-law's overcrowded house or setting up a guest bed in the basement. Velvety soft flocking covers the top of the PVC mattress to increase the comfort level, while the top and bottom edge support helps the bed maintain its shape. Because there are chambers, your body weight is distributed more evenly, so you’re not pressing down in one spot and wearing out the model before you’re supposed to. While all accidents cannot be prevented, practicing good safety habits, setting and following rules, carefully reading instruction manuals, and vigilant supervision can greatly reduce the likelihood of injury as well as reduce injury severity. And don't worry if you're looking for something that won't leave your guests sore and tired the next day — at Good Housekeeping, our Textiles Lab tested several to find the best air mattresses available.
