If you are changing apartments, travelling or camping, then you will not be able to carry your conventional bed around for a few hours of comfortable sleep. You will, therefore, need a portable bed or a camping hammock.
A hammock is best for outdoors, with trees around, whereas a portable bed can be used anywhere, any place you want and at any time. Now, the question is which is the best air bed for you? You can check the online retailers for review and ratings.
The consumers, according to the reviews on the online retailing sites, are completely satisfied with the inflatable beds they buy. We recently reviewed the Intex Pillow rest raised air bed and found it pretty awesome for an under $100 buy. In addition to this, this air bed can be used in almost all scenarios unlike the conventional bed, which is made of latex and springs.
Feature
This Inflatable twin airbed has several uses for the consumer, including a temporary bed for guests, a play bed for small children who like to jump a lot, a permanent fixed bed for you and your partner or a camping bed whenever you feel adventurous.
Further, you can also keep the bed in your backyard for picnics. This air bed comes with a built-in pump for easy deflation and inflation. If you want a comfortable, easy to set up air bed, then this is the perfect air bed for you.
Pros
This air bed is an excellent choice for customers who are looking for an inexpensive and convenient air bed. Here are the main merits of this air bed:
-
Waterproof
The Intex Pillow Rest Raised Airbed has a waterproof flocked top with sturdy construction and vinyl beams. Also, this inflatable bed has built-in pillows for extra comfort of the user.
-
Internal Pump
You must know that not all air beds come with an internal or built-in pump. Some come with an external pump as well, which makes it really difficult for the consumer to inflate and deflate the air mattress. The internal pump that comes with this inflatable bed inflates the bed in approximately three minutes.
-
Height
Some people complain about air beds being too low, which is why they choose more expensive conventional air beds. However, the manufacturer of this air bed, Intex, has brought the double-layered wave beam interior construction for this inflatable bed, which raises the bed around 16.5 inches from the floor.
Cons
It was, honestly, very hard for us to find the cons in this air mattress so we took help of verified buyers and here’s what we found:
-
Manual stop
In several air beds, you will find the feature of an automatic stop of pump after complete inflation but with this air bed, the user has to manually turn off the pump after the bed has reached the desired level of firmness. The internal pump would not stop pumping the air into the air bed until you stop it. It is not a difficult task for the user but they have to be careful.
-
Lasts for a short period
This air bed is inexpensive and very comfortable but some users said that there air bed was not as comfortable as before after several months. One user further said they used the air bed for three months and after that the bed started deflating faster. “It was not as comfortable as before,” concluded the verified buyer on the online retailing site.
Before you start disliking the product, we would like to tell you that there are only a few negative reviews of the bed with many more positive reviews. This air bed could have been not a very great purchase for some buyers but for many, it was the best.
Comparison
Both air beds are very comfortable as they come with an internal pump and come from a trustworthy brand. However, the Serta raised air bed is very costly in comparison to the Intex Pillow Rest Raised Airbed. In addition to this, the latter bed lacks the Never FLAT technology of Serta and the former lacks the built-in pillow that Intex pillow rest raised air bed has.
Verdict
This air bed, which as the size of 39 x 16.5 x 75 (W x H x L), is great for multiple people. Two or more children can easily sleep on this air bed and very comfortably as well. Also, the Intex Pillow Rest Raised Airbed has a 300-pound capacity and is great for fitted sheets. All in all, this inflatable bed is an amazing buy for such a low price.
