Interior Build
The Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed has been constructed from the standard PVC material with a Fiber-Tech build. This means that hundreds of polyester strands are running throughout the PVC and are meant to make the bed more supportive and durable. There is a soft flocking covering the entire surface of the Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed. It is also meant to avoid any abrasions or punctures while giving the bed a velvety and soft feeling like latex beds. A special edge support system runs all around the top edges of the Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed. The lining keeps the users from falling off the bed when they move around during their sleep cycle. There is also a thin indentation that runs along the sides of the Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed. It has been kept there to keep the fitted sheets from slipping from the sides of the bed.
Many horizontal air chambers are secured with the Fiber-Tech technology inside the bed. These chambers are the support beams that secure the build of the Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed. It is also necessary to mention the internal pump of the bed here. It has a simple config with a horizontal toggle switch. The Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed inflates when the user pushes the switch up and deflates when the user pushes it down.
Usage Experience
One of the main issues with air beds is that they have to blow them up. This is a process that can take a long time. Most people feel as if they will pass out after inflating an air bed. The internal pump of the Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed will save the lungs and time of many users. The bed inflates itself in no time at the flip of a single switch. There is always a risk with air beds that they may get popped or punctured. This is a possibility with all air beds on the market. But the Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed has put in a safeguard to ensure some durability. The bed has Fiber-Tech technology that reinforces the bed with hundreds of polyester strands. This makes it less likely that this airbed will pop and bust open. You can lie on the bed and check it in all the sleeping positions to see how it performs.
When users sleep on their backs, the bed will be quite supportive for most people. The horizontal air chambers will hold the body up well. The Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed is slightly firm when sleeping on the sides. But you can easily let a bit of air out of bed to soften it up for that purpose.
Comfort Factor
The Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed is a big bed that should be used inside the house. Ideally, the bed should not be taken out for camping. This is because it will be tough to fit it through the flap of the tent itself. The brand gives many other air beds meant for outdoor and camping usage. But this model is a deluxe and large air bed. The bed might be a little too big for children and other lightweight sleepers. They can get a lot of comfort from the Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed. But a thinner and smaller air bed will be a better fit and will cost less cash. Many air beds with built-in pumps have different firmness choices. The sleepers can choose the firmness setting they would like, ranging from Soft to Firm. The air bed pump is quite simple and does not have these presets. Thus, users will need to deflate or inflate according to the bed's feel.
Conclusion
The Intex Comfort Dura-Beam Airbed is a good air bed for the guest rooms if you have people who will frequent your house soon. It is very tall and has the feel of a real bed and mattress. So, guests will not get the feeling like they are sleeping on the floor itself. The bed also has an automatic pump with which it can be set up in only a few minutes. It is a cost-effective option when compared to other bed-in-a-box beds.
