Intex Dura-Beam Air Mattress (Twin)

This is an awesome airbed at a very affordable price. Amazon delivered it the day after I ordered it. So I opened it up to test it out. It is so ingeniously simple. There are no parts other than the bed. The air pump is integrated into the head of the bed. It includes a convenient built-in storage compartment for the 110 volt AC plug that has a door to keep everything neatly secured. The pump has a large air vent with an on/off switch. The air vent rotates clockwise and counterclockwise with the center position closed, clockwise position to fill the bed and counterclockwise position to drain the air. Just unfold the bed, plug it into a wall outlet, turn on switch on, and rotate the knob clockwise. I timed the process to see how long it would take to fill and empty the bed. It took just 2 minutes12 seconds to fill, and I fount it a bit too firm for me so I let a little of that air back out. Then it took just 2 minutes 30 seconds to completely empty the bed, and the pump sucks all the air out so it is easy to fold up and put away again. this bed costs no more than most manually inflated airbeds and about half the price of many of the competing automatically inflated beds. I've owned manually inflated airbeds and they are not that convenient. You have to have a separate pump and the valve you fill them through is not nearly as large as what is on this bed, so they take a long time to fill and empty. They also require a lot of manual pressing and squeezing to get all the air out. This bed eliminates all of that. I do think if it would be more comfortable if it had a flatter sleeping surface. The bed has several convex rows that feel bumpy to lay on, but it's not uncomfortable and you can easily adjust the firmness of the bed by simply rotating the air valve knob to let a bit of air out. It seems durable, but only time will tell. It is truly well thought out and engineered. I'm very happy with this product.
