Intex Prestige Downy Airbed Kit with Hand Held Battery Pump, Twin

The PROS = For the price, this is a pretty nice airbed. I had been using a foam mattress for camping, but decided to try an airbed for the first time to save space when packing. It was surprisingly comfortable, and a twin size fitted sheet did indeed fit on it perfectly. It deflated quickly, and folded up small enough to fit back in the box. The mattress itself deserves 5 stars.The CONS = The pump (which is included) is not impressive. It needs 6 "C" batteries (so you have to purchase two packs of four). It seems to take quite a long time to fill up the airbed using the pump. Perhaps this is normal, I have never used an airbed before, but it seemed very slow to me. And I could not figure out any way to not hold the nozzle the entire time, so you have to sit and hold it while it ever so slowly inflates the mattress. Plus, filling the airbed ONE time nearly drained the batteries! If you need to buy new batteries every single time you want to fill the airbed, that cost will add up very quickly. I lost a little air the first night I used it, and there was just enough juice left in the batteries to top it up. On the second night, the batteries had no juice left, so I was unable to top it off. However, it did retain enough air to be comfy, and I realize this might be a standard problem with the first use. I plan to use this mattress again next camping season, but I plan to find a much better pump. The pump that comes with the mattress rates 2 stars.UPDATE September 2018:I have now used this mattress for 3 years of summer camping, and it is still as good as new. I am impressed that such an inexpensive mattress has held up so well. As for the crummy pump that comes with it, I bought an inexpensive Intex brand pump that plugs into the lighter socket of my car and it works like a charm, inflating the mattress fully in under two minutes. I still keep the battery pump in my tent just in case the mattress needs topping up during a multi night camping event. I highly recommend this long lasting mattress and the Intex plug in pump.

I got this bed for staying a few days with a friend. I was very nervous about how comfortable it would be because I have a bad back. It was very comfortable, no memory foam mattress but very comfortable. The material is very strong as well. I have a kitten with hypodermic needle like claws, or at least that is how it feels when he tries to climb my leg to investigate what is in my hand. This bed withstood him! The set up was so easy I didn't even need the instructions. The pump worked quickly and within a few minutes I had a bed. It was a bit more challenging to deflate and get back in the box. I do not claim to be a folding master so it is very possible that it was my fault and not the bed or box. I do wish it came with the batteries but Amazon will bundle them and the price is pretty good.

A nice product, but the included pump won't completely inflate it to the pressure i want. It does inflate it rapidly, but only to a point where it starts to develop a little pressure.Otherwise very nice and has stayed inflated for over two weeks now.Edit 1-AUG-2010: I've had this for a while now and realized that the pump is fine, the problem was that alkaline batteries reading 1.5 Volts actually don't have enough power to run it properly. I put in D-to-AA adapters and used regular NiMH rechargeables, now it works great and pumps it up within about 30 seconds. (Tech note: Even though the AA batteries are only 1.4 Volts fully charged, they can deliver more current than the Alkaline "D" cells I was using. They seem to last for about 5 fills before needing recharging, and even with carrying the charger and a small 12V-110VAC inverter, it still weighs a lot less than with "D" cells in them.)The valve assembly is the same as on the Queen and Full size sold by Intex. It works great for both quick filling and fast emptying but you need to be careful not to accidentally bump it or it will pop off and you'll end up on the ground in 10 seconds!This mattress has held up better than any other inflatable mattress i've owned in the last 3 years. Perhaps this is because they are smaller and won't be subjected to the pressure of two adults!It is a very comfortable mattress. We use it for guests and also for camping.

I purchased this air mattress with the intent to use it for car camping. I enjoy taking the occasional weekend trip and a long trip a few times a year. I prefer the convenience of car camping over tent camping most of the time. I have a Subaru Outback, and measured beforehand to ensure that it would fit in the back of the car. I made this purchase last year, and the mattress has served me on a few weekend trips and a two-week trip to the Northwest Peninsula.While it is a standard air mattress, it’s a great value. I’ve slept in the foothills of the Appalachians, woken up next to a babbling mountain stream, and got to watch the sunset through the mist on a beach on the Pacific. Every night I’ve slept on this mattress, and every morning I’ve woken up refreshed. My back is very picky about where it sleeps. Tent camping often sets it off, and there are even beds in certain hotel chains that it’s not very fond of. Waking up sore makes it far harder to get moving in the morning. I have not woken up sore in this bed once.The 3-in-1 valve makes filling an ease without losing any air. My one complaint about this is that the clasp on the pump's battery door is poorly constructed, and sometimes comes loose during filling. I’ve learned to grasp the pump by the bottom when filling. Also, a suggestion: If you’re going to take an air mattress on a flight as part of your checked bag, remove the batteries from the pump and put them in your carry-on. If you stuff your bag, you’ll most likely get near the 50 lb. limit, and the six C batteries weigh around 3 lbs.

Arrive quickly!This is fast and easy to inflate and deflate.Comfortable and doesn’t lose air, like most air beds. Wonderful quality for a cheap price!The top is velvety nonslip surface.The battery powered pump included is useful and inflate fast!Only negative point is the pump takes 6 C cells !!

Perfect

Lo compre para hacer un "camping car" y me fué perfecto. Con la bomba de inflado se infla en un par de minutos y como tiene una boquilla grande, tambien se desinfla en un momento. La calidad es similar a otros que he tenido, por un lado tiene una capa como de terciopelo.

Hatte die Matratze mit auf der Airbeat One. Die mitgelieferte elektrische Pumpe befüllt die Matratze sehr schnell und kann auch als Grillanfeuerer verwendet werden.Matratze verliert täglich (wie alle Luftmatratzen) etwas Luft, was aber schnell behoben werden kann. Sie stabil und hat meine zarten 115 kg gut ausgehalten.

The mattress is very comfortable to sleep during camping. The pump is also useful to pump up the mattress
