Intex Airbed For Overnight Visitors

By Leaf Treehorn

Lots of people enjoy the opportunity to play host to friends or family who are visiting from out of town. When they stay over, it gives everyone more time to enjoy a relaxed visit. When visitors are coming for an overnight stay, it can be helpful to have a spare bed in the form of something like the Intex Airbed.

There are a number of different Intex models on the market and the newest ones have some advanced features that the earlier models did not have. As with many other inflatable air mattress styles that are available, Intex has also recently introduced a model that has a built in air pump.

Very Stable And Comfortable

According to some owners of the Intex Airbed, the inclusion of an air pump as part of the inflatable air bed is a much needed improvement. One reviewer who owned an Intex inflatable air mattress wrote that she found the air mattress very stable and comfortable and she gave it high marks for not losing air as so many other similar products are known to do.

Her biggest complaint in the review that she posted, was that the inflatable air mattress was extremely difficult to inflate.

Difficulties Pumping Air Into The Mattress

The reviewer goes on to explain that the "Intex Double Quick Air Pump" which came with the queen size air bed was anything but quick. The manual pump failed to inflate the air mattress to any significant degree after fifteen minutes of pumping.

She followed the instructions as provided, which stated the manual pump was designed to pump air into the mattress during both the up and down stokes. After more than an hour of experimenting they discovered the only way to get the pump working was to do half strokes which succeeded in getting the air into the mattress, but was a very tiring ordeal.

She concluded that the only way she would make a purchase of another Intex Airbed would be if she could get one of the newer self-inflating models. It should be noted that this particular reviewer was describing her experience with the Intex Queen Downy Airbed model.

Dual Wave Beam For A Couple

Other reviewers have posted similar complaints about the Intex Airbed, but at the same time there are many positive comments about the quality of the inflatable air mattress material that was used. It also seems that the dual wave beam construction of the air bed made it more stable and comfortable, especially when used by two people.

This particular product also has a flocked air bed top, comfort feature. The material has a similar feel to velour and it covers the top side of the air mattress bed. This layer helps to reduce sweating which is a common problem with many plastic and vinyl air mattress beds. Another benefit of this flocked top is that the rayon becomes a non-slip surface which helps to keep the sheets in place.

Support Diminished Overnight

A different reviewer bought the Intex Recreation Double Airbed and did not encounter the inflating problems that the other reviewer focused on with her Intex Airbed.

The trouble that he experienced was with the ability of the inflatable air mattress to retain air for more than a few hours. This meant that support diminished throughout the night and left him with back aches by morning.

He mentioned that his future use of this particular model of inflatable air bed would be reserved for overnight guests that he didn't want overstaying their welcome.
