Amazing bed feature. Very simple to use. Just plug the wire in and they the air will fill up the spaces of the mattress. Very comfortable and an ideal height for my friend to sleep on when they come over to visit me!

An adult and big child slept on this for a while while waiting for our furniture to arrive during a move. The bed was comfortable. It did have to be topped up with air once or twice. The mattress was right on top of laminate, directly on concrete...and it was cold. A heating pad helped resolve that issue. Really quick to blow up and to take down. Great find.

This air mattress is the best we have ever had. It sits the height of a regular bed. Our guests could not even tell it was a air mattress until we told them. They said it slept great.

Really nice quality blow up mattress - I really like the built in pump and the ease of set up and take down. The cord is a little difficult to take out and put away

Very comfortable air mattress. The mattress inflates in a few minutes and the built in pump isn't very bulky. The mattress takes a while to deflate as the pump does nothing to help but it isn't to much of a problem. There's is no way I can get the mattress back into it's bag however.

This air mattress was very much worth the money. It is great quality and does not lose much air throughout the night. It is also very nice to have the pump built in and makes it easier to take on trips/pack. The pump is not super loud but would not pump it up when people are sleeping in the next room.

Great air bed. What makes this air-Bed better then all the others I've tried is the length!
The Bed is Long. My feet don't hang over the end like the Walmart types that are $10 to $20 dollars more.
This bed is Basically Flat" No Humps to keep rolling over to try and get comfortable. Quality.
Much better then anything at Walmart by far. Walmart's are more expensive as well.

I have had this bed for 2 weeks now since i moved into my new apartment and this bed is so comfy. The internal pump works beautifully and its a very simple plug in and fill or deflate and you can wrap up the cord amd put it right back into a space next to the pump. I do have to inflate it every so often which is expected but this is one comfy inflatable bed i have ever laid on

This is pretty darn comfortable! We bought a $60 old sleeper sofa at a thrift shop, but wanted to make it as comfortable for my parents' visit as possible. We bought this mattress and a board and it turned out great.

Easy to use and comfortable. Built in air pump is quick and not too loud. Similar volume to a vacuum cleaner. You will need to top it off a few times when you start using it as it will stretch. It’s not losing air, just pump it back up to desired firmness. Fairly tall for an air mattress so you don’t feel like you are sleeping on the floor and for those of us that are a little older it makes getting out of bed in the morning easier. I’m using a thicker mattress cover and a 2” foam mattress pad from IKEA ($60 in a queen). Feels like a regular mattress unless I’m on the edge of the bed and it slumps a little. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an air mattress. I’m happy with how it’s performed and it will definitely take care of me until a new mattress is in the budget.

Love the quality of this air mattress . You can also turn it off once you’re done adding air and put the cable in its compartments . Only downside is side : top doesn’t have any cushion so nothing special I still had to add mattress foam so it wouldn’t be so stiff .

Fabulous air bed! I ordered this and just took it camping over the weekend. I forgot to inflate it before we camped so the "stretch" could happen before we needed it, but it worked wonderfully!! We blew it all the way up so it was fairly tight that night when I went to bed and by morning it was perfect! I didn't have to add any air to it over the next few days at all and I slept very well on it. I also have bad knees so I wanted a mattress that would be easy to get up off of and this was an amazing height. Easy on and easy off! It will be perfect to have in the house for extra visitors if needed as well. Am very happy with my purchase!

I prefer sleeping on air mattresses over a traditional mattress so I sleep on it every night and it’s nice and firm but very comfortable, very durable as well when my fat butt rolls around on it.

I was nervous based on some of the low reviews, but there are plenty of great ones and the price was great so i was hopeful.
When the mattress arrived it was so lightweight i could carry it under one arm, based on this i was ready to return it...most high quality air mattresses weigh a ton. This one is super light.
Anyways I needed to sleep, so I filled up the mattress and it filled perfectly. Two of us slept on it the first night (about 330lbs) then myself (175lbs) for the past week. Ive only topped up the air twice, and I can sit on the side of the mattress to put on shoes and socks.
This is a great product, highly recommend

I've had other air mattresses in the past, but this is the best. Set up and inflation was a breeze. Yes it took about 5 minutes, but well worth it for the comfort and quality it provides. Having the air pump and cord storage in the mattress is so convenient. I was surprised about how high it is compared to other mattresses. It's nice to not have to roll off to get up. Great product for a comfortable night sleep. Works great for camping or over night guests. I love this mattress and highly recommend it.

I love this air mattress and it definitely was worth every penny. You do have to put more air in it about every two days but it’s easy. Just plug it in and turn the knob. It’s comfortable but you do need at least two pillows for additional comfort. It has great support. Most people think it’s a regular bed because of the 22” height. We’re older and both the height and support has been a blessing.

We replaced the old mattress that was original to our motorhome in the fold out sofa bed. Our adult son and his girlfriend slept on this for a week while we were on vacation and continued to say how comfortable it was! We are so happy with this mattress, it took shape quickly, doesn’t smell and folds into the sofa when put away. I would highly recommend this!

I bought the air bed on May 5,2025, I gave it 4 star for comfort, but mine started deflating on Friday June 6 . I did the soap test but did not locate any holes , I am 185 lbs so it’s a not a weight issue and no small children so jumping on the bed. I am very disappointed with this purchase as it did not last as long for me .

I usually don’t write reviews but I had to for this one. This air mattress is amazing, it’s really tall so there’s no need for a bed frame to lift it off the floor. This can definitely be used as an actual mattress if needed. Me and my partner have been sleeping on it for 3 months straight since March and have barely had to inflate. Of course there were a few moments when we had to inflate as we’ve been using it continuously. But we only had to inflate every 3 weeks, if even that much. I’ve never had an air mattress that was so great at firmness and keeping the air in. We decided it was time to get an actual foam mattress but there was no problem if we had to keep using this one, it’s so great! If you’re on a budget or need something in the meantime of saving up for a mattress, definitely get this mattress, it won’t disappoint!!

It’s Ok. You have to inflate it again after one night. But once you do that you don’t anymore. The size is good. Just wish that you could close the cap with cable sticking out and keep cap closed. Very small thing but would make product perfect. As with any air mattress, it’s plastic and you get sweaty from the contact.

This one works! Self filling super quickly. Stayed firm and yet so so comfortable for the whole week. Easy to deflate. Can’t quite get it back into the box but at least the very nice canvas bag fits it perfectly. I LOVE the INTEX brand of air mattresses.

After sleeping on this mattress a little over a month, I’m giving it a 4 instead of a 5 ONLY BECAUSE I think the makers have been a little deceptive. The box says you’ll have to inflate it 2-3 times more initially as the mattress stretches and then it should settle down(paraphrased). THIS IS NOT TRUE!!! You have to periodically keep adding air beyond this. This is no big deal. The process is simple to do. I believe in being honest with people. I absolutely LOVE the mattress. I’m currently using it as a bed. It’s very durable as I am a ++ sized woman and it truly does hold my weight. It’s true to size and very comfortable to sleep on. I definitely recommend it. Just be ware that you will have to keep adding air beyond the stated limits that the maker says. Great investment until I can afford the bedroom suite that I want.

I bought this for my husband’s single tent and it was huge. It took up the entire tent. My son ended up using it in his larger tent and said it was extremely comfortable and is a good quality mattress. If you are trying to to feel the ground beneath you when you sleep this is the mattress for you.

Impressed with the quality and comfort of this air mattress- especially considering the price. I used it while staying with my daughter following her surgery. I slept on it for a week straight and was not disappointed.

This air mattress is top quality when I tell you this thing holds up it holds up not only is it comfortable you don't have to keep inflating it all the time I literally had this thing up for a month and only inflated it twice to make it a little firmer

I bought this as a replacement for an airbed I had that had a hole. I like the top pattern of this better than my old airbed. When I found the hole on the old airbed I bought a patch to fix it, but still kept this airbed on account of it being more comfortable. Now my old airbed is my spare lol. I do wish this was taller, like my old airbed, but because the top is so comfortable, I don’t mind it being shorter.

I ordered this for my daughter and son in law to use when they come visit. They also bring their 50 and 90 lbs dogs. This air mattress held up like a champ for all four of them during their visit. The top is thick enough to resist any punctures from dog nails and really easy to wipe down to clean. It inflated quickly and easily and folded up nicely when it was time to pack it away.

The Intex Dura-Beam Deluxe Comfort-Plush Elevated Air Mattress (Queen Size, 18in Bed Height, 600lb Weight Capacity) has been a fantastic addition for hosting guests at my home. This air mattress, featuring Intex’s Fiber-Tech construction, offers impressive stability and durability, supporting up to 600 pounds with ease. The dual-layer, velvety flocked top feels soft and luxurious, providing a smooth sleeping surface that rivals a traditional mattress. My guests have raved about the comfort, sleeping soundly through the night without complaints of sagging or discomfort.
The built-in electric pump is a standout, inflating the bed to the perfect firmness in just 3-4 minutes, and deflation is just as quick for easy storage in the included duffel bag. At 60 x 80 x 18 inches, it fits standard queen sheets perfectly, and the indented sides keep them snugly in place. The 18-inch height makes getting in and out of bed effortless, especially for older guests. While some users report minor air leaks over time, I’ve used it for several weekends without issues, though I check the pressure before each use as recommended.
Lightweight and portable, it’s ideal for home use or camping, and the waterproof top adds durability. For anyone needing a reliable, comfortable air mattress that’s easy to set up and store, this Intex model is a great value that delivers a restful sleep experience. Highly recommend

Easy to blow up and comfortable. We used this in an off-grid camping situation and to fill the whole thing up from empty it only used 2% of a 300 w battery bank.

Great air mattress. We use in our family room as an extra bed. Firm, comfortable, easy to inflate and deflate. We bought the green size, plenty of room.

We got this Intex air mattress for a road trip to the coast so our kids would have a comfy place to sleep — and it worked great! The built-in pump made setup super easy and fast, and we loved not having to bring any extra gear. It was surprisingly lightweight, easy to pack, and held up really well throughout the trip. The 22-inch height made it feel like a real bed, and the kids slept comfortably every night. Great quality, great price, and perfect for travel or camping with the family. Highly recommend!

This twin air mattress initially met our needs perfectly for overnight guests. It was comfortable and easy to inflate. However, after about six months of occasional use, the sides have noticeably widened, and even when fully inflated, the middle now feels less supported. It's a bit disappointing to see the support decline so quickly.

I love this air mattress! I recently moved out of my exs house and was couch surfing between finding a new place and this air mattress is a life saver!it’s very sturdy and fits three people if you sleep sideways which is possible if you’re all short like me and my friends. It doesn’t sag in the middle when you wake up in the morning like every other air mattress I’ve slept on and I’m over 200 lbs. the attached air pump is easy to use and so convenient! The cord sometimes is hard to put back in the little hole but doesn’t matter to me. It is supported in the middle and pretty comfortable and made out of thick material so I don’t think there will be any holes anytime soon! It’s also tall so about the night of a normal bed + bedframe. All in all very pleased with this purchase, if I had a mattress topper I’d consider using it as a real bed in my new place haha

I have had several air mattress but so far this INTEX is the best. I have been sleeping on it for about 6 months and I have had to fill it up maybe 3 times. Really recommend. This is a good one. 👈

I’ve had several of a more expensive brand that I stick with. I had to order this one as the other brand didn't arrive on time. I was pleasantly surprised by how much more comfortable this one is. It’s flat top made it more comfortable, and somehow a little softer than the kind with the quilted/channeled tops.

Worked great as a spare bed. Very easy inflate and deflate. Every thing is built into the bed. The price was very reasonable. If you need a good place for visitors you like... Get this. You you hate your house guests and want them to leave... Don't get this. They'll be way to comfortable lol.

I’ve had this mattress for about 9 months now and it’s held up great. Over the course of 9 months I probably added air to it MAYBE 7-8 times and thats impressive for an air mattress y’all!! It’s only now starting to lose air (and I barely notice it losing air FYI) which I’m certain there’s a hole from the frame it’s sitting on but that’s fixable. I’ve really enjoyed this mattress.

I would like mention if you’re looking for some extra comfort, get a 3-4inch memory foam mattress topper to add to it and you got it made! So comfortable and I was happy to see it lasted as long as it did.

13” thickness was a solid buy. I’ll probably try the 18”or 22” next. To for added cushioning and clearance from the ground

This has been a god send to me. I recently got diagnosed with GAD. Which is basically having anxiety without any reason. I have had so much trouble sleeping. Realizing my old bed was not good anymore, I ordered this to replace it. It came in and was so easy to get inflated. Very easy and none time consuming. It felt great. The first day of sleep was wonderful. I regretted not getting this earlier. My anxiety at night has subsided. Best part is this does not lose air. After a couplen of months it may lose literally about 1 percent of the air , so I just inflate for about 10 seconds and it's back to how I want it. You can also inflate it to your liking for a firm or less firm feeling. So I am very happy with this! I've ordered 3 more on different sizes and all have been awesome 👍

We are waiting on a mattress and have absolutely loved this air mattress. It was super hard at first but my husband has had some of the best sleep. Highly recommend!

This air mattress is a game changer. Used for 3 days straight without ever going flat and is very comfortable. Fits perfect in a 2-4 man tent and blows up quickly with the built in air pump. The quality is a 10 out of 10 and is the perfect thickness for a good nights sleep.

Have borrowed this exact model from a friend and had many guests sleep on this air mattress, it always gets lots of praise. The electric air pump makes setup a breeze and packing it up is as simple as laying down and rolling around.

Definitely recommend, great affordable option for anyone looking for an extra mattress.

My great nieces loved this air mattress. Both girls were able to sleep together and were super comfy. It was easy to both inflate and deflate. Great value as well.

The bed is very comfortable. I like that it has a built in motor to inflate/deflate. Also, there was very little "new" smell like a lot of plastic items have. Good experience.

Great for value, comfort, and durability but do know it should be aired out for a minimum of 2 days before sleeping on.

I let it breathe for the better part of 4 hours, used it in a very well-ventilated indoor space, and woke up with terrible headaches from the VOC smells. All mattresses will have some smell but this is pretty bad. Bc it has velvet like felting you can't really wipe the smell away.

I love Intex mattresses, so comfy. I was disappointed when I got this one and realized it was not USB chargeable (great for camping) so I have to return it. Note: they DO have some air mattresses that are USB charged. Just make sure you know which you are ordering and it's what you want.

This is so much nicer than the last air mattress I owned. The inflation port is attached and you just plug it in to inflate or deflate. For the size, it inflated pretty fast. It also stays inflated! I slept on it overnight and it was still inflated 24 hours later when it was time to go to bed again. It was comfortable and my dogs and I fit nicely.

I got this to use in the living room why I was renovating my room. It didn’t cause me any back pain and stayed inflated all night. Very easy to inflate and deflate on command. I didn’t get a tall one and would be fine getting a size smaller because it is BIG. The material and thick and high quality which is good since our 80lb dog likes to hop on too!

I bought this specifically to replace the spring mattress that came with our sofa bed in our 5th wheel.
The queen size fits well and expanded to the full advertising size. The metal frame and bars are not a problem anymore. Originally I had put a 2” memory foam topper on the springs but have been unhappy with that setup as the metal frame was still a nuisance. Furthermore, the extra mattress thickness made folding the bed in a problem. This mattress fold in properly.
I’m 74 and 6’4” 245 and while I do not intend to use this as a primary sleeper, I could, I believe, use this sofa in a pinch without a problem.
My wife agrees that we made a wise choice in this mattress and she feels comfortable using it as a secondary bed.
No complaints. Hope this helps someone in there decision

This has been the best air mattress I have ever used by far! I bought this air mattress when I moved into my new apartment and slept on it for about three weeks before getting my bedroom set. It works exactly as advertised. I almost never experience overnight deflation and I weight over 260 lbs. This air mattress is very comfortable sturdy and extremely easy to inflate and deflate. I will most definitely recommend anyone in the market for a mattress buy one of these.

It fits the sofa bed as described, wished it was a little thicker, I haven’t tried it yet it’s in my RV but should be better than the old spring mattress. Time will tell, I will use a pillow topper on it for extra comfort as I did with the old original mattress. Only four stars for now because it fit, was as advertised and the quality appears to be ok.

The Intex 64417ED 22in Queen Dura-Beam Comfort Plush Air Mattress is a fantastic choice for camping or guest accommodations! Its 22-inch high-rise design offers exceptional comfort, mimicking a traditional bed with a plush, supportive feel. The Dura-Beam technology ensures durability and stability, supporting up to 600lbs without sagging.

The built-in electric pump inflates and deflates the mattress in just 4-5 minutes, making setup and takedown a breeze. The fiber-tech construction maintains firmness throughout the night, and the flocked top adds a cozy, non-slip surface for bedding. Its queen size (80x60 inches) comfortably fits two adults, and the included carry bag makes it perfect for travel or camping.

Cons: The pump is a bit noisy during inflation, and the mattress takes up some storage space when packed, but these are minor trade-offs.

Overall, this air mattress delivers outstanding comfort and convenience at a great price. Highly recommended for campers, travelers, or anyone needing a reliable guest bed!

I go out camping a lot between October thru April. Rest assured with late nights working on coyote control this is a must needed thing for a 50 year old. Easily packs away after deflating. I really like how fast it inflates with its built in pump. Fairly quiet when inflating and deflating. Thick material which gives it that quality you look for. You can see by looking in the way the mattress is held together so it doesn’t over inflate. Very comfortable for what it’s worth and I’m a queen mattress kinda guy so this size was perfect. Have a 3 man tent so this fills up the floor space with just enough room to put your bedside manors to the side. Definitely recommend and if I wear thru this I’ll be buying the same exact thing again. I will say the only con I have is I wish they made this where I could use batteries to power up the self enclosed pump. Luckily I have a generator and it does have a fairly decent length power cord but when you’re trying to be somewhat quiet cats out of the bag with this one when you go to inflate it. There’s no silencer on a generator. By the way I weigh 220lbs if that helps anyone out and still say it’s quite comfortable.

Removed star because bag already had hole at seam when delivered. I'll contact the company and update. The bag isn't looking durable. Mattress does seem very durable. Ordered and used at daughter's for a week. Blew up and deflated as expected. It does have a plastically smell when you first inflate, and again when I deflated. I can't complain, it's plastic lol. If smells bother you, just inflate ahead of time in another space. Deflating smell was stronger of two. Again, just deflate in another ventilated space.
The mattress didn't continue to smell with use. Make sure you have deep pocket sheets. There is no indent for the bottom of the elastic to go around. I only had to fix them once in 8 nights. I slept alone, so I can't say how it would be with two. I'll update when we sleep on our with two people. But I found it very firm and comfortable. I've been having some back & neck pain. It didn't cause any problems. Might have to add some air 2nd night as the mattress might stretch a bit first time using. Found it to be true queen size. Cord/plug a little tricky to store back in the compartment within mattress.
Does take some time to deflat. It folds easily and compact, but I'll have to figure out the configuration of exactly how to fold it to get it to fit into the bag once I get a replacement. I believe you'll need two people to get it in the bag. It's heavier than the thinner mattresses. So much nicer having the higher height, especially if you're going to sleep on it for more than one night. I think I went with the 22".

Bought in 2020, writing review in 2025: STILL GOING STRONG.

Short version: durable, internal pump is the best.

Full version:
I've owned a few air mattresses, and they last 1-2 uses before developing leaks. This one was in the same price range so I wasn't expecting much... just needed it for a guest who was coming at the time of purchase. Scanned Amazon for the price I was willing to spend, and picked one with 4.5+ stars.

We have guests 2+ times per year, staying for 3-5 days. That's just frequent enough that our air mattresses get leaks from us taking them in and out of our basement closest, or having them sit in the closest and get knocked around while we're getting suitcases or rollerblades out. It's also INFREQUENT enough that we lose track of the pump after one or two uses.... HOLY MOLY do I love the internal pump.

Most recent usage: my teen daughter had a friend over 3 weeks ago. She's a typical lazy teen, so she is yet to deflate it and put it away. Her younger sister had been jumping on it in that time, and the teen has been walking over it because her room is small so there's no way not to. We only inflated it that initial day, and it's still fully inflated.

This was a happy surprise of a purchase. If this ever dies, I'll be buying this exact model.

10 times better than the mattress that came in the queen sofa. No springs in the back and fits perfect when you close it up. Has a nice zip cover on it also. I could have bought one of the other brands cheaper but glad I didn’t. Worth the extra cost.

I initially bought this to stay at my MIL’s senior community (to help her get settled), so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on it and I planned to leave it for other relatives that might want to visit. I expected it to be cheap-ish quality and probably not last through my two week stay.

First off, set up was a breeze. I laid it out and started inflation and it took about 4-5 minutes to fully inflate. The motor made noise, but it’s to be expected from something like this—I can say that it wasn’t as noisy as our Costco-bought mattress.

Second, it’s big—but that’s not a bad thing as much as I thought anyway after I saw it fully inflated. Turns out, for me, it’s a good thing. Our Costco mattress sits low to the floor and as it deflates a bit during the night, it’s tough to get up. This one (the 22” model and the largest one at this writing) is wonderful as I can sit on the edge of it and stand up easily. Your experience may be different, but for older folks it makes it really easy to get out of bed in the morning.

How does it sleep? Well, since I was visiting by myself and my significant other wasn’t with me, I can only speak for a single sleeper. It was really comfortable! It did take a bit of tweaking though as I thought I would like it more firm as I like to side sleep. The first couple of nights were a bit rough as I tossed and turned a bit in my sleep—I found that I couldn’t get comfortable on my side. For the reviews that say that it deflates after sleeping on it, I can say that it did seem to lose some air after the first two nights. The manufacturer does state that it does “stretch” and not deflate. As I wanted to test that statement, I didn’t change the firmness of it by re-inflating it to where I had it. The third and fourth nights were better sleep and I didn’t feel like the mattress deflated at all, so I found the stretch statement to be valid—it wasn’t losing air. After that night, I re-inflated it to where I thought I’d like it. The next night was the same tossing and turning that I had those first two nights, so I concluded that I needed to make it less firm and I actually DEflated it a bit and for the rest of the stay it was perfect! I didn’t have to touch it and I even unplugged it.

When I was getting ready to leave, I started the deflation process by turning the dial in the opposite direction. It took longer to deflate, so I walked away for a bit—I’d guess about 7-8 minutes. When I came back the mattress was flat as a pancake and ready to fold. This is the only hassle of the process as folding it to get it into the storage bag and back into the box (for storage). I do like the tote that they provide as the handles make it easy to lug about.

So, the first use was a success. If repeated uses reveal issues, I’ll report back. I will say that I plan to buy another one to replace our beloved Costco air mattress—she’s showing her age and the height of this one as well as the cost make it a no-brainer to get it as a second. We’ll use this one until it dies (if it even does) and then fall back on our old one if needed. I gave an overall 5 stars for the product with 4 stars for sleep quality and comfort only because your idea of these two might be a bit of a learning experience until you find your inflation sweet spot—so it’s not just an “inflate fully and use” type of scenario.

We needed to replace the mattres on our sofa sleeper but where to find one. We needed a queen size/ We searched all the stores and where I had seen onr at our Sleep Country store they had now discontinued them. We were recomesnded to another store but they did not appear to have them either.
So we ca,me to Amazon, they did not have a huge selection but the one we chose had a 4.5 inch mattress which was excactly the right sixe for the bed. When it was delivered we were very pleased with the look of the mattress. It had a cover on it that was waterproof and it looked as if it was very sturdy. The first to try it were our two granddaughterss who said it was fine. Thank you Amazon.

I have been sleeping on air mattresses for about 5 years now. Yes, every night. The reason is that I cannot afford a decent new mattress and before switching to an air mattress, I had used mattresses. Most developed "sink holes" and those who sleep on an older mattress know what I mean - a spring or something inside has shifted and that spot...well, it's a dip that you have to figure out how to avoid when sleeping. But the basic reason is because I am an older lady that lives alone and when I have moved, I have moved myself so as not to bother people. I have mostly flat pack furniture so I can break it down and move it myself. Having an air mattress fits right in with that ease of moving my own stuff. The IDOO I had was a great deal, though I had last had a King Coil 22" that I really liked EXCEPT for their "pillow" area (the part at the head is inclined and that bothered me since I am an "arm sleeper" - put one arm up under my pillow, under my head and hang it off the bed). Other than that part King Coil is a great air mattress bed. Now for this Intex - I have had a couple of different Intex items and find they make quality stuff - first was a smaller, rectangular pool that wasn't too hard to set up (but I did need a friend to help with putting it up) and I currently have their inflatable loveseat that unfolds to become a bed. It's a nice extra piece of furniture/bed, but wish it had the internal pump which it doesn't. Still, it is a serviceable spare seating and sleeping piece that can be put up quickly enough. NOW, for this bed - back to my 22" height and I am SO HAPPY with that part of it. When you are older, getting UP off something is harder than scooting down off that same thing! Meaning that I have no problem getting on a bed (no matter what the height), but in the morning, when I'm groggy and not 100%, trying to push myself up off the 18" wasn't horrible, but it wasn't fun at all. With this Intex 22" queen, my feet dangle just a bit off the floor and pushing myself off and DOWN is just so much easier. I was also relieved that the pump is at the top (or could be the bottom, depending on how you orient the bed) as my outlet is at that spot on the wall behind the bed. The IDOO had the pump on the side so the cord had to be put up under the bed...I didn't like that. This Intex, like all the air mattresses with an internal pump, it inflates (and deflates) very quickly. Around 5 minutes. What's easy is taking down an air mattress - most of them come with a carry case as this one did - and if you flip the sides in, then do a fourths fold up, it will fit in the bag and isn't too terribly heavy even for me to carry. The IDOO developed a leak and instead of trying to patch it, as I have slept on it for about 2 years, I deflated it, put it in the bag it came with and threw it away. This Intex, I had it out of the box an fully inflated in less than 10 minutes. Made the bed and laid down on it - aaahhhh! So, if you are in need of a spare bed for overnight guests on occasion OR you have had it with your lumpy old "regular" mattress and having sticker shock over the memory foam, purple, pillow top and other replacements, you might want to try an air mattress. Even if you only use it long enough to save enough money for one of those $500-$1000 mattress, this $75 mattress will allow you to sleep well, night after night after night.

I bought this for a hide-a-bed to replace the original mattress that was about 15 years old, and I was amazed how comfortable it was. I highly recommend this mattress, despite the higher price point.

This mattress has good support and fairly comfortable.
It is 4 1/2” thick and a bit hard to fold into sofa bed base. With some effort , it worked.
If it was 4” only, it would be better fit for sofa beds .overall, it is worth the money
