Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Intex Queen Prestige Downy Airbed with Hand Held Battery Pump

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2010

No matter the price or brand, I seem to have no luck with air mattresses. They end up with slow leaks, and sometimes with fast ones. I am lucky to survive a camping trip or music festival without spending the last night lying right on the ground. I ordered this one for the Bonnaroo music festival and crossed my fingers. I am very surprised and pleased! I only had to add air to this mattress one of the four nights that we camped there. Two adults (one who is 6'5") slept on it and we never got a leak, and we found it quite comfortable. The pump was great - worked well and fit the mattress (and my friend's other brand mattress) nicely. The lock/air flow part is a bit weird and wonky, but once you get the hang of it, it works really well and does a great job of locking in the air. A very basic air mattress, but a very sturdy and reliable one! Far better than ones I have bought for twice the price!

I Researched airbed reviews and prices at various stores and settled on this one because it was decent quality for a good price. It is easy to setup, airs up fast, comfortable, and durable, We have used it several times for our kids while staying at friends homes - Our 9 yr old twin girls have slept on it together and our 18 year old son has used it as well. They each slept on it for several nights in a row and it held the air pretty well, although we did need to add additional air to it after the second night of use, when my 18 yr old (6'2", 180 lbs) used it . Figuring out the pump is a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it it airs up in about 2 minutes. The felted top helps keep a fitted sheet on. The mattress is a little bit noisy but it didn't bother my kids. Each of my kids said the mattress was very comfortable. We did find that the mattress is a little cold to sleep on, however, using a thicker blanket over a fitted sheet helps. It does not come with a carrying bag, but, we keep it in a smaller plastic tote and it transports just fine.

Five Stars. has taken so much use and abuse and is still not leaking

It is holding up great throughout the years. Even better than I expected.

eta 3/23/16. ok I have now had this bed that I bought from here for 3 years. At first it was just used when I had too many guests, so maybe 3 weeks total per year. It has now been inflated for 4 months straight. My child wanted to keep it in his room. It is sometimes slept on by humans, sometimes by cats or dogs, and frequently jumped on by kids and adults. It has taken 100s of pounds at a time, cats' claws, giant dogs' claws. not a leak. in the past 4 months it has been inflated, I had to top it off once. I think that was due to air temperature shift type deal (i live in Florida, I keep the house heated to 72, and ACed to 76 so room temp has changed from maintained 76 to 72 to 76 during this time, as AC in November, heat in January, AC now). As for the pump that came with it, honestly I have a better electric one, so I have only used the battery powered pump once. I assume it still works fine.

eta 4/18/2016. Well it finally happened, something went wrong with this. you see how it has like rows of like seamed indents running the length or the mattress on the top and bottom. well inside these seams attach to the other side, so it keeps the mattress relatively flat. well 3rd one from the side, separated from the seam on the flip side of the mattress, thus creating a big bulge rendering 1/3 of the mattress highly uncomfortable to sleep on. I did also have to add more air as the actual volume of the mattress changed because of that seam no longer being attached to the other, but it still isn't leaking. Again the level of abuse this mattress is taking is quite amazing (I still have a back up one for those rare occasions of too many guests) I would still very much recommend this mattress as I am so surprised it is still inflated at all.

Not a true "Queen" noisy, and loses air.

Bought an Intex air mattress at Target years ago and it was the crazy comfortable I couldn't believe it. I bought this one which was an upgraded version only tube disappointed. Feels like a normal air mattress, nothing downy or "coils" about it. Super squeaky when you lay on it. Measured it and it's smaller than a queen, actually fits our double/full fitted sheet decently. Loses air and needs to be refilled each night. Save your money. Air pump works great though.

It gets the job done

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2016

Is this the highest-quality airbed you can buy? No. Is it the best quality for $20? (I got it for $19.) With the included battery-powered, quick-fill pump, it sure seems to be the best value for a basic queen air mattress. I've used this in a tent on a few two-day camping trips, and it's held up with barely any need to top off the air. (It probably needed to stretch a bit the first few nights, which could account for the little I needed to do.)

On one trip, it was so hot my wife and I just slept on the air mattress with no bag under us, and it felt fine and was certainly cooler. I bought from Amazon a 12v DC quick-fill Intex pump that works from a cigarette lighter to do the main mattress filling. Then, I use the battery-powered one for topping off from inside the tent as needed. That saves me from running through lots of batteries, though you'll get a number of mattress inflations from one set of 6C batteries. I got a 12pk of Duracell ProCell C batteries for about a buck each here: DURACELL C12 PROCELL Professional Alkaline Battery, 12 Count . If you want one for home use you can buy a AC Intex Pump such as this: Intex Quick-Fill AC Electric Air Pump, 110-120 Volt, Max. Air Flow 21.2CFM . It's expensive on Amazon right now, but I got one at a local department store for maybe $7-8 dollars.

Two orders with two failures

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2013

I knew the price was too good to be true. I ordered this bed for a weekend camping trip with my son's troop. The first order arrived in 2 days (thanks amazon). When I tested the pump, it did not work. I immediately returned the bed for an exchange hoping it would arrive before the weekend. Again, the replacement bed arrived in two days (Friday) and I immediately tested this one. The pump seems to work fine and then I blew up the bed. Everything seemed fine.

Off to camp I go with my new bed. I set up the tent and the blow up the bed. Everything looked okay. A few hours later I went back to the tent and noticed the bed was half deflated. I thought it must be the cold and the stretching effect new beds go through. So I blew it back up. Hours later as I was getting ready to go to bed, I saw the same thing with a half deflated bed. I pumped it back up and hoped for the best. No luck. At 2am I awoke with my back on the ground. Needless to say the product failed having a hidden leak. I was unable to fall back to sleep so I grabbed my chair and sat by the campfire until everyone got up.

Buyer beware of this product. If you do not take my word for it then I recommend you test everything thoroughly.

Best Airbed for Camping

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2013

This thing is awesome. We take it camping and we love it - it's very comfortable and it STAYS INFLATED. This mattress is thick, so even when we're camped on cold, rocky ground, I sleep well all night. The flocking on top of the mattress keeps your bedding from shifting around - I like this feature.

The pump is kinda' cheap (I have a hard time keeping the lid latched on mine), but I'm not deducting stars because works like a champ. It'll fill the bed up in about two minutes, and batteries last a long time in it, too. In fact, the lid came off once and I lost a battery, but the pump still worked!

Very durable material, too. My daughter airs it up sometimes for sleepovers. She and my 130-pound German Shepherd will walk all over it. Even with his claws poking into it, he's never punctured this airbed.

It's pretty good but it doesn't hold air for more then 24 hours

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012

I purchased this air bed model for guest, and over all I think it's pretty good but there were a few things about this model that I think buyers might like to know

First thing that I thought was a plus is the bed is a queen size it looked much bigger then I expected, the next plus was it came with an automatic pump you'll need 6 C size battery's to get the pump up and running after that just connect the pump to the air bed & then just press the button, and watch it rise nice right?

Cons the pump seemed to be a bit glitchy but after tinkering with the battery's for a few minutes it worked fairly well. my guest slept on the the bed for 24 hours and I dressed complete with sheets, pillows & comforter. the next morning I asked my guest if they slept well & they said that they slept quite nicely I also tested the bed myself before the guest arrived so I'm certain my guest were being truthful about the comfort quality of the bed

One other Con to keep in mind I noticed that the bed had slightly deflated overnight, that said I think the bad is still a pretty good value for the price, just make sure that when you pump the bed up that you make sure to pump it up with enough air so if some air leaks out it's not enough to make a big difference in comfort.

56 NOT 60 inches wide; 7.75 NOT 8.75 inches deep when fully inflated

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

I dislike that it is only 56 inches wide NOT 60 inches wide and only 7.75 not 8.75 depth as advertised and not as stated on the box! This is when first fully inflated and again after 1 week of use.
I liked that it inflated to the full 80 inches long as advertised & as stated on the box.
I have a custom made queen size bed with a wood frame - it is 22 years old. Built to exactly fit air mattress of 60 x 80 inches. I have only had air mattresses during these years. For the first 19 years, all air mattresses that I bought filled the bed frame, with occasional 1/2 - 3/4 spaces on width & lengths
But, beginning with those I bought in 2014, the industry began "shorting" these measurements. Some brands would be both too narrow & too short and not as deep as stated by 2-5 inches in either or both dimensions. I kept buying different brands - hoping for one that was actually as it was advertised.
Finally, I got lucky with my last air mattress. It was also Intex - but was a "deluxe" queen - 10 inches high, fully 60 inches wide and almost 80 inches long. finally, it fit the length & width of the bed frame as it should - but it only lasted 6.5 months - leak somewhere in the seams. There are NO sharp points or edges touching the mattress. I am the only one who sleeps on it. I'm just 5'3" and weigh only 110 pounds. My size is not the issue for the leaks.
I never know how long an air mattress will last - the older ones lasted as much as 18-20 months; recently most only 6-8 months!
I wanted to re-buy the Intex Queen deluxe 10" deep one - but not available until mid November or longer. 6-8 wks away. I couldn't wait that long. The air mattress is my ONLY bed.
So I bought this standard queen which is not nearly as wide or as deep as advertised!
Perhaps this is not an issue when camping on the ground - but these rather seemingly whimsical sizings by manufacturers cause my queen bedding to not fit snugly, also feels uncomfortable with the depth. Even as little as what I weigh, sometimes I can feel the wood under the air mattress on my back
The exposed wood frame corners are hard, wearing out the edges of the quilt that hangs over the mattress & bed frame. NOT HAPPY!!!
I don't know if the air pump works. Still in its plastic bag for "someday". I have a small vacuum cleaner I have used all these years to inflate my air mattresses. I use the "exhaust" connection to fill the mattresses. So it was a bit "tricky to fill it since the hole of the mattress is much larger than I have had on past air mattresses.

only used twice might take a couple uses, but it seems to get soft half way through the night, not flat just soft, I believe because the material is still new and stretching.
