INTEX Dura-Beam Standard Pillow Rest Air Mattress: Fiber-Tech

The air mattress was perfect. We needed one more bed at a recent vacation. This mattress held an adult male and never lost any air. We did inflate and deflate daily. We are pleased with this purchase.

I bought this air mattress as a replacement for a sad, disappointing purchase of a new hybrid mattress, which I had to return because it was just too uncomfortable for me to sleep on. Since the modern hybrid mattress comes tightly bound in a box, it's a really big deal to have to return/refund. But since Amazon is amazing, I was helped over that hurdle. But it also prompted me to question whether I should take another chance on a "bed in a box."My brilliant idea was to replace the standard mattress (hybrid, foam, inner springs, etc.) with a contemporary air mattress. After researching the subject, Intex emerged as one of the best. I chose the 10-inch high Dura-Beam Standard in full size. I especially appreciated that it came with an enclosed electric pump. However, I ended up not keeping it.Why did I not keep it? First, it was immediately obvious that it was not suited for my bed frame with headboards. The built-in pump protrudes about two inches beyond the mattress edge, and this interferes not only with the placement of the mattress but also the movement of the mattress during sleep. Second, it had the "pillow rest," which did not make for a comfortable sleep, at least for me. Perhaps others might find that feature to be a plus, especially in a camping situation, but for me it made sleeping with a traditional pillow very uncomfortable--I ended up having to scoot down and dangle my feet off the end of the mattress to escape the discomfort of the built-in pillow rest. But, hey, that's just me.I did not give up on Intex, which is a reliable brand for this type of product, nor did I abandon the idea of sleeping on an air mattress as my main bedding. (After all, I'm old enough to remember the venerable water bed!) So I ordered a new bed frame, sans the headboards, and a new Intex air mattress (also with built-in electric pump) but without the built-in pillow.Still, I have to give the Intex Dura-Beam Standard Pillow Rest Air Mattress the full 5 stars. It is durable, the pump performs flawlessly, and (aside from my personal issue with the built-in pillow) it really is a comfortable mattress to sleep on. At no time was I ever concerned about any loss of air, or any fragility in the material. I can still recommend it.

That’s how long it lasts. This is why the reviews are so polarizing. Those who say it’s great are correct. It’s great for a short while. Convenient, good thick material- and comfortable, right size, compact, able to be rolled and put away. But that lasts about two months; but after that you will wonder where the hole is and possibly not find it. There isn’t always a hole. For us, there was no hole. It just leaks air through its own mechanism and it deflated quickly. Even when it isn’t on that setting. Suddenly, it just began to leak. It wasn’t mishandled, no max weight, no rough handling, it has a protector on it and is on a poke-free surface. Still began to delete at a rapid rate suddenly.

Super cool, self inflated fast with electric built-in pump.

First time inflating and it inflates fully but does not keep air. Slow deflate over night. Cannot find a hole to repair. I feel a defect in one of the seams/ leaking. Past the return/exchange timeframe and unable to find a customer service link to inquire about an exchange.

Very comfortable, firm... I will definitely be buying a couple more in the future.

This is an awesome airbed at a very affordable price. Amazon delivered it the day after I ordered it. So I opened it up to test it out. It is so ingeniously simple. There are no parts other than the bed. The air pump is integrated into the head of the bed. It includes a convenient built-in storage compartment for the 110 volt AC plug that has a door to keep everything neatly secured. The pump has a large air vent with an on/off switch. The air vent rotates clockwise and counterclockwise with the center position closed, clockwise position to fill the bed and counterclockwise position to drain the air. Just unfold the bed, plug it into a wall outlet, turn on switch on, and rotate the knob clockwise. I timed the process to see how long it would take to fill and empty the bed. It took just 2 minutes12 seconds to fill, and I fount it a bit too firm for me so I let a little of that air back out. Then it took just 2 minutes 30 seconds to completely empty the bed, and the pump sucks all the air out so it is easy to fold up and put away again. this bed costs no more than most manually inflated airbeds and about half the price of many of the competing automatically inflated beds. I've owned manually inflated airbeds and they are not that convenient. You have to have a separate pump and the valve you fill them through is not nearly as large as what is on this bed, so they take a long time to fill and empty. They also require a lot of manual pressing and squeezing to get all the air out. This bed eliminates all of that. I do think if it would be more comfortable if it had a flatter sleeping surface. The bed has several convex rows that feel bumpy to lay on, but it's not uncomfortable and you can easily adjust the firmness of the bed by simply rotating the air valve knob to let a bit of air out. It seems durable, but only time will tell. It is truly well thought out and engineered. I'm very happy with this product.

It's comfortable as long as it has air. Unfortunately, the air leaks on this due to poor design. the inflator sits in a slot that opens straight into the mattress. Yhe air leaks slowly around this connection. Also, the dial switch that is for inflating/deflating, is not secure so it slowly gets jostled with each movement until it too is releasing air. this mattress requires a standard electrical outlet.

Muy buen producto, no se desinfla, comodo

I recently purchased the Intex Dura-Beam Standard Pillow Rest Air Mattress (Full Size) for some unexpected weekend guests, and it exceeded every expectation. If you need a reliable, comfortable, and affordable sleeping solution, this is it.You won’t find a better combination of durability and convenience. It’s perfect for camping, sleepovers, or as an emergency guest bed. Highly recommended!
