5.0 out of 5 stars A great improvement:, November 19, 2008

This review is from: Intex 66717E intex Comfort Rest Raised Queen Air Mattress Airbed Bed with Built In AC Pump (Toy)

I have experience using/owning several airbeds and this is the best value for the quality of airbed this is.

Air pump and valve system: simply plug in, set valve to either inflate or deflate and let it do it's thing. Directions are easy to follow and adjusting the comfort level using the valve is a snap (remember that the less air you use, the bouncier the bed will be).

Mattress design: The top edges are level with the bed and stable, eliminating the threat of slipping right off the bed onto the floor (being it's a raised bed, it would be a longer drop). Sitting on the edge is comfortable as well.

Height: Perfect height for a person who is 5'4". I pumped it up next to our couch and the mattress is just as tall as the seats are.

Comfort: I prefer to fill my air mattress to a firm feel so that the bed is more stable. This means when my husband rolls over in the middle of the night, I don't bounce like a freighter on the high seas. This takes away from the comfort level in my mind since I love a cushy, soft mattress. I solved this by taking the 4" memory foam topper off of my queen size bed and placed it on the airbed. It sat perfectly on top and with the top of the airbed having that felt/fuzzy-like surface it didn't go anywhere. It felt heavenly.

Fitted Sheets: Well, I used a fitted sheet from my queen size bed and with the 4" foam topper on the airbed it fit just a bit loosely, but well enough to hold on the indentations of the airbed's sides. I like to have that tucked in feel so, I ended up just making the bed by tucking the bed sheets under the foam topper since it is heavy enough to hold it all together.

Storage: The directions explain in detail how the bed can be deflated thoroughly. It wasn't much trouble at all and rolled up nicely into the bag that it came with.

Conclusion: This airbed really addresses many of the problems I've had with other air mattresses. I love it and feel comfortable offering it to my 60 year old parents to sleep on.

General: Given what's on the market, my best advice is to search for quality and size of the mattress itself first, and definitely pay attention to the air pump/valve system. There are some high profile airbed products out there that are frustrating to use because of their pump/valve and can break very easily.

If your airbed is not as comfortable as you like, remember foam mattress toppers are a great solution. There are more expensive versions of this particular airbed that come with a foam topper attached, but I like the option to use a separate foam topper that I can have on my bed when the air bed isn't in use :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Going strong for four months and comfortable, April 30, 2009

This review is from: Intex 66717E intex Comfort Rest Raised Queen Air Mattress Airbed Bed with Built In AC Pump (Toy)

Prior to buying this air mattress I owned a Raised Coleman Queen. The Coleman had multiple circular indentations on the top that would quickly develop pinhole-size leaks. After repairing the second Coleman mattress for the fourth time, I went with the Intex.

The mattress included a built-in air pump and has a compartment for storing the electrical cord, which is approximately 6 feet long. The pump inflates the bed in a short amount of time. There is a dial that you can adjust during inflation to get the bed to your preference of firmness. There's a setting for deflating the mattress, which sucks the air out of the mattress and allows for easier folding.

The mattress is comfortable and the flocked top holds the sheets well. Being a raised queen mattress, I correctly assumed deep pocket sheets would be a better fit. I'm not sure how regular queen sheets would perform--although it looks like the one star reviewer had a little trouble with them.

This mattress has held air for four months--I "topped-off" the air once. The long I-beam design does a better job of distributing the weight. Unlike Coleman, Intex has included several patches for the mattress should a leak develop.

Intex includes a duffle bag which allows you to easily store the folded mattress. The folded size inside the bag is about the dimensions of a small carry-on suitcase.

I'd recommend this air mattress to others.

This review is from: Intex 66717E intex Comfort Rest Raised Queen Air Mattress Airbed Bed with Built In AC Pump (Toy)

Hubby and I got this mattress as a housewarming gift from my mother, so that relatives could come visit once we moved. We adore it so much, we now have two! You just plug it right in, and it fills up immediately. To deflate, you turn the knob the other way, flip the on switch, and it sucks all the air out of it until its flat as a pancake. No more need to kneel over it and push all of the air out with your hands and knees. Then it rolls up rather nicely and slides inside the duffel bag provided.

We dont have any exceptionally tall relatives, but we are of average hight overall. Everyone has said they are comfy on them. We have had about 8 guests stay on these mattresses so far, and everyone wanted one and raved about how well they slept.

We haven't had any problems with bedding staying on. I wonder why the other reviewer did? Maybe its because we used flannel sheets on them, and that with the friction of the flocked top made it stay on easier than sheets that are slick? Im not really sure. But we love it! :)
