I try to keep it short.
Good for the price.
Pro: When inflate firmly, it is as good or even better than the spring mattress.

Con: After 2 wks on it, it is not flat any more.

Go for it as a mobile bed for your trip. Worth the price and quality

After reading the positive reviews of this mattress, I decided to purchase it for my spare bedroom. For the price, I figured it was a bargain that was likely to be a good investment. At first, I was rather impressed with the design that includes a built-in electrically powered pump. The quality appeared to be excellent with the vinyl material being especially thick. Yet, when I first tried laying on the mattress for a few minutes, my opinion turned negative. Personally, I would rather sleep on a carpeted floor, which my spare bedroom already has. Hence, there would be no need to purchase such a product if I were the guest. When visiting relatives slept on it for evening, they rated the comfort as a "1" and "5" on scale of 1 to 10. After this feedback, I returned the mattress.

For this price, my expectations could be too great. One approach to improving the comfort would be to purchase a high quality, expensive mattress cover. Yet, it would be nice to have a self-contained inflatable mattress that worked as-is. Unfortunately, the Intex Raised Downy Queen Airbed isn't that product.



Cons
Not very comfortable as-is

Pros
Built-in electric pump
Includes carrying bag
Heavy construction

This bed is comfortable, inflates quickly, and deflates easily. The problem I have is that it is no where near the size it is advertised as. Queen size sheets would not fit the bed so I measured it. It measured 52x72 when it is labeled to be 60x80. Eight inches both ways makes a difference. I feel I got a full size bed instead of a queen size. When I contacted intex they told me that all the beds vary in size and there is nothing they would do. If you are looking for a good size sleeping area I would be careful with this product. I feel swindled.

Back in May, I borrowed an Aerobed and it kept losing air. So I did some research and decided on the Intex bed. Well, everyone (4 different people) who has slept on it has RAVED about it. They've each said they slept better on it than in their own beds. I no longer feel guilty for having guests sleep on an air bed. They request it!

The product is a great spare bed. Very comfortable and tall enough to be a good substitute for an actual mattress bed.
