Sports reviews of Intex Raised Downy Queen Airbed with Built-in Electric Pump
Customer Review: Very Nice!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Purchased this Intex air mattress to replace our very old bed.(a hand-me-down 20yr old Serta) The Intex air bed is very comfortable to sleep on. The minute UPS dropped it off, we opened it up and tested it out. Very simple instructions. You just unfold and plug in! The bed inflated in about 3 minutes. The pump wasnt as loud as I expected. Sounds a little bit like a hand-held vacuum. We put a cloth mattress cover on and a queen sheet(fit perfectly), layed down and was suprised at the comfort. We then deflated it, folded it, up and it EASILY went back into the canvas bag. Deflated it doesnt weigh much so don't worry about toting it around. I would say it weighs 20 lbs maybe.
Later at bed time we inflated and layed down. We found out that the part where the pump is- is the head of the bed!! If you lay on the other end, for some reason it slowly loses air!! After realizing this, everything was perfect. We slept for 8 hours and didnt lose anymore air. I am pleased with this bed and I would recommend it to friends.
Instructions say it holds 600lbs and since the combined weight of us is around 400 so I can say it is very sturdy. Since its raised 22 inches, the bed is very easy for my 6'1 husband to get in and out of. The "flocked top" is like a pressed velvet. Personally I wouldnt want to lay on it without a sheet, but it is soft. I was also worried that the bed would smell 'plastic-y' it did not. Pump cord isnt as long as expected but that wasn't a problem. It takes a bit of force to get the cord back in the storage comartment-it needs to be a little bigger! You need to roll the cord up small for it to fit well. One more thing: The instructions tell you how to use a manual pump instead of the built in one, in case of electricity loss. Thats a big plus!
This bed is so comfy and looks JUST like it does in the pictures!
Customer Review: Definitely worth the price

Buy this air mattress - you will NOT regret it. While I can't opine on the longevity of this mattress yet I can give you my opinion a few of the more immediate pros & cons of it.
We just returned from a 4 night camping trip, using this mattress. We were looking for a new air mattress for our trip because I am 8 1/2 months pregnant & there was NO way I was going to be able to get up off a regular air mattress. I bought this BECAUSE of it's depth. Set up was so quick & easy - plug an extension cord into the built in air pump (SUCH a handy feature!) and turn it on. I pumped it up initially. I under-filled it, thinking with 2 of us on it that it would be ok. We slept on it that night & while it was great for my hips & belly (I sunk into the mattress & it was comfy!) my husband & I had to sleep on opposite sides of the bed or else we'd roll into each other. Since cuddling wasn't an option we added more air the next day. PERFECT. Slept on it 2 more nights, then had to add a little more air for the 4th night. I don't think it was leaking air through a hole, it was just the pressure of an average sized man & 8 1/2 month pregnant woman sleeping on it! The height of it was perfect for me to be able to get up off it without needing a hand. When we were breaking camp, deflating it was just as quick & easy - plug in the pump, turn the dial to deflate & turn it on. It was totally deflated (and looked vacuum packed!) within 3 minutes, tops. Roll it up & put it into the included carry bag. That is my ONLY con for this mattress - the bag doesn't look sturdy enough to protect the mattress from potential rips & tears while packed away. You could re-pack the mattress/bag into the box for more protection. We didn't & decided to store it away from the rest of the camping supplies instead to avoid punctures. Again - buy this mattress, you will not be disappointed!
Customer Review: Mom Loves It!

I had this shipped to my mom on the East Coast as a gift. She needed an extra bed for occasional guests and doesn't believe in air-mattresses, so I figured I'd let her try this just in case. For the price and what I read from others' reviews here, this is supposed to be great. Long story short, she received this in the mail very quickly (thanks, Amazon!) and she tried it out before her guests. She said the set-up was so easy: You just plug it in the outlet and press a button to inflate the mattress - no pumps required! The height is regular-bed level, the mattress firm, and the mattress-top soft, so she decided to try it out for a few minutes and fell asleep on it for FOUR hours! She said it's so comfortable, she can't believe it's an air mattress, but did mention it might be a bit too heavy to lug around in the airport if someone wants to travel with it. Her one guest slept on it and said that the air did not deflate overnight and it's very comfortable, "feels like a real bed". My mom LOVES it and is now glad that I didn't listen to her about air mattresses. Now her friend wants one, too! I'm so glad this purchase worked out, and since she is very "particular" with purchases in general, this must really be a great buy because I'd otherwise hear ALL about it. ;) I'll get one for my own guests next!
**UPDATE**: It's been 2.5 months since I gifted this to my mom, and she says that it still ROCKS. I'm so glad I made this purchase, and to date, with regular use, my mom claims that it's not deflated or given her any problems whatsoever. Happy buyers all around!
Customer Review: Very comfortable, but doesn't last forever

I originally bought this bed as a "quick fix" as I was moving into a new apartment. After the first few nights of using it, I was impressed enough to delay my plans to purchase a real bed. Unfortunately, I noticed that it had started to develop small leaks after using it continuously for three years. Patching it up worked at first, but six months later, another small leak developed and I knew it was time to replace it.
Having struck gold once, I bought a similar air bed at from a different company. It was okay but after one night on it, I decided that I need to patch up the old bed one last time until I order a replacement for it. The soft mattress top on my Rising Comfort really makes a difference, the other one was just an air bed. I'm ordering another ASAP, but I'm deciding on which model to purchase.
I don't expect that very many people would be looking to purchase this as their main bed. But I would recommend it for whatever purpose it is needed for. Speaking for myself, I experienced very little air loss for the first few years without ever taking it down. Before I had a leak, I recall only using the pump a few times to make it more firm. I'm wondering if those who had trouble received defective units or had problems with the cap when periodically deflating and sorting it.
Customer Review: Lasting longer than I ever expected

Admittedly, I'm here b/c I'm looking at purchasing another one of these, but for those of you who are new to it, let me just say: fantastic. I bought it when I was going to be living in a tent for several weeks - if nothing else, I wanted to make sure I could sleep well. It makes a lot of noise pumping up (and yes, I was staying in campsites with electricity or had a generator with me most of the time), but it's extremely comfortable. Once I moved into an apt, I slept on it for three months straight, and I only had to reinflate it a tiny bit every two or three weeks. When I changed to a futon, I realized I'd given up nicer sleep for something that would be less ungainly in my tiny studio.
Moving again, two years later (and in-between it functioned for many a week/weekend guest who needed a place to crash), I have been sleeping on it for four months straight, and noticed that it has started to deflate a little bit while I sleep. I'm not waking up on the floor, but I now have to inflate it a little every night. I can't find the leak to save my life, but I tell you, for this price, it's going to be much more efficient to buy a new one that will last me another year of constant use than invest in a proper mattress I can't honestly afford.
This was honestly the best money I ever spent nearly three years ago, and I got a lot more use out of it than I could have imagined. And it's super comfortable to boot!
