Intex Dura-Beam Deluxe Comfort Plush Airbed Series with Internal Pump (2021 Model)

Product Information

The product in both instances did not meet the advertised dimension specifications and varied considerably. Our experts test air mattresses to assess inflation time, deflation time, ease of packing, tensile strength, bursting strength, comfort, puncture resistance and overnight leakage using industry standards for the best testing results. Each bed is covered in plush flocking that is soft to the touch, and the horizontal air chambers provide added stability and support around the entire bed. Having options is good, but are they really necessary when we’re talking about an air-filled chamber? We tested the Intex Comfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam Air Mattress in our Lab using standardized testing methods and also at home with consumers for more qualitative results on factors like clarity of instructions, ease of use and setup and inflation and deflation time.

Because it’s such a thick mattress (24 inches), it needs more materials and design features to hold up. She, alongside textiles reviews analyst Grace Wu and home and apparel reviews analyst Amanda Constantine, conducted in-Lab and at-home tests of the Intex air mattress.

Side Sleepers will definitely want to choose options with a pillowtop to get as much contouring as possible. They won’t get as much as a traditional mattress, but some contouring is better than none, even in a temporary situation.

An air mattress is a great way to provide extra sleeping accommodations, especially if you don't have a spare bedroom or plan to host several guests for a weekend. Stomach Sleepers will also want an air mattress with a pillowtop to get that contouring around their tummies.High density PVC formulation provides more impact and tear resistance, more puncture resistance, and more tensile strength than standard PVC. When you turn the knob to the correct position to inflate the bed, the deflate arrow is actually lined up in the middle which causes some confusion. Another aspect our experts, analysts and consumer reviewers absolutely love is the height of this air mattress. To test this, we weighed the inflated mattress, left 170 pounds of weight on the mattress for 24 hours then weighed it again to determine how much air it lost. For decades, the Good Housekeeping Institute has been providing expert reviews and advice on beds and bedding.

The secret is in the Fiber-Tech® beam construction, which is comprised of thousands of high-strength polyester fibers that provide enhanced comfort, stability and support.Back Sleepers may have the easiest time adapting to an air mattress since they need the least amount of contouring, mostly around the booty, to keep their spines aligned.

So, when I look at their air mattresses, I know I’m getting more than a plastic bag filled with air. When fully inflated, our testers noted it felt fairly firm, so if you prefer a softer, squishier mattress, you'll have to experiment with the amount of air you let in to adjust to your ideal firmness.

In Lab, we tested the 22-inch queen-sized mattress with a built-in electric pump for automatic inflation.
