Side by Side Comparison of: Intex vs AmazonBasics

Excellent deal! Comfortable, sturdy bed. Easy to inflate - plug it in and push a button. Easy to deflate - same way. With sheets and blankets on it, its like a regular bed. Then folds up into a bag for storage till my next visitor. I can't believe I almost spend $300 on one of these before I found this.

This inflatable bed is very easy to set up, well made, and comfortable. The electric pump is very fast so you can't leave the bed when you put air in or it will over inflate and possibly burst. The seams on this airbed are tight and the bed deflates very little even after being inflated constantly; I've been using this bed for about two weeks since moving (waiting for delivery of my new bedroom set - weather delay) and I haven't had a bad night of sleep. I think I've had to add air maybe three times; I like firm mattresses.

This is a great bed for the price. I have a queen that Is amazingly comfortable. I love the DURA BEAM and it makes all the difference!. The height is essential because even if if deflates a bit during the night you are not laying on the floor.When fully inflated it is sturdy and I think two people (on the queen)could sleep easily on it without disturbing the other.My bf is using the twin right now as a temp bed while we do some remodeling in another house.. So far it seems to be working. :>)

Been sleeping on it since day 1 and it's been a month and still all good! I use this as my daily/nightly mattress and I k of you're not supposed to use them like that, they're made for random use. But this is my only bed and I've been sleeping on it nonstop for about a month and I have to add a little air to it maybe once a day if not once every 2 days. They do stretch out over time. That's expected. I'm 150 lbs or so and I don't let anyone sit on it or lay on it with me. I don't want to mess it up or put unnecessary​ pressure on it. I'm not sure what the max weight limit is for it but I don't want to test it. Decent travel bag it came with too and a patch kit. Airs up and deflates pretty quickly. I really like that it's tall. I have used the normal air beds that are low to the ground and I now dislike them after using this raised one as it has the height of a real bed with mattress and box spring. No complaints here.

I bought this recently and used it couple of times already. Like the product description, it takes about 4 minutes to fill up and works well. It did lose a few amount of air on the first use but it wasn't that noticeable for me. Others have reviewed it saying it loses a lot of air and required to fill it up in the middle of the night, but that didn't happen to me. Maybe they got a faulty one. It says in the product specification that it is normal for it to lose some air in the beginning for vinyl to stretch. 18" high is pretty good height and it didn't really give me a back pain or anything. I don't use it as an everyday bed but for when needed this comes in handy. i believe it's fairly priced too. i would definitely recommend it.

We bought two twin mattresses to use for camping and when guests stay, and so far we've gotten good feedback! We paired ours with a foam topper and mattress pad which helped add a little softness. They inflate quickly and are easy to fold and deflate. We bought two twins rather than a single queen because we thought that would reduce some of the annoyance from your partner moving in the night (as air mattresses move with you). Be sure to deflate your mattresses when not in use, as I've read that keeps them from getting lumpy.As an aside, these can be inflated with a hand pump for camping. It takes a little time and effort to inflate, but they're great when the alternative is a rocky ground!

I've only had the mattress a short while but it does seem to be working well. It is made of plastic and may give me problems in the future but for this short time of ownership, I am very satisfied with the construction and craftsmanship. I love the fact that there is a built in electric air pump. It took a very short well to inflate and it is conveniently located at the end of the bed making it easy to hide once the mattress is inflated.

I can't say enough good things about this air bed. I purchased it for a bedroom that I really don't use for occasional guest. Everyone who has used it raved about what a good nights sleep they got. It's very large Queen size and high off the floor which is just what I wanted. I had a prior air mattress that I paid twice as much for that got a really large rip so I brought this one as a replacement. This one is so much better. I would highly recommend this mattress to anyone.

We had a crowd for Thanksgiving and needed an extra bed. My husband and I slept on this for two nights. It never leaked and stayed just as firm as we wanted. I would suggest a thick blanket or a mattress cover to put a barrier between you and the rubber-like bed.The second night we did this and it made a difference. Our granddaughters played on this during the day, and it held up perfectly.I don't think I would ever recommend a bed like this for an extremely long period, but for those times we need an extra bed, this was great. The price was excellent. Follow the easy directions, and you won't have air escaping issues. It was a nice level, no extra bending, a very nice height. Now we are ready for visitors whenever they come. Thank you.

I ended up getting two of these! These are sooooo comfy! It's difficult to remember you're laying on an air mattress. This mattress is very supportive yet soft. I slept like a baby every night and I'm a picky sleeper! The built in pump is genius! It's a breeze to set up and take down. The pump does all of the work both ways, it puts the air in, you slightly turn the little ring and then it will suck the air out for you as well! It blows up fast and comes down fast as well! LOVE IT! Just remember to add air into every night right before laying down to get the best comfort.

I was so excited to get this in time to go to camp and delivery was super fast .. It fills up quickly and the pump has reverse on it to suck all the air out again. Because all the air is sucked out, it is way easier to fold and store in the handy carry bag. This mattress is 22" from floor to the top of the mattress and that made getting up and out of the bed amazingly simple. I loved that feature. Sheets stayed in place nicely and most of all, it was comfortable. My next purchase will be the king size as my sweetie and I enjoy the extra space a king size affords. The other good thing about this mattress was the price. Around $54 as I recall and worth every penny. Intex makes a great product and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a comfortable place to sleep.

FANTASTIC! I would rate this item as one of the best products I have ever bought! We opted to buy an airbed for our spare room after my daughter rated the (new) futon we had in there was extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. The Intex Comfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam Airbed is PERFECT! We have already had another guest staying with us who was the first to use it and after her 10 day stay she gave it two thumbs up.It was easy and quick to inflate. VERY comfortable and the best part was the price - $55! Where can you buy a Queen Bed for that price? my final words are; if you are thinking of buying an airbed you can't go wrong buying this one. We LOVE ours!

These sheets are very sturdy. We utilize these sheets in a residential program so they are probably washed three times a week. I am amazed at the strength of the sheets and that the color is upholding.

I love these sheets, we have them on two of our beds in various colors. They are nice quality and very cool to the touch. I get overheated in bed, yet always need something over me and these sheets are perfect.

We use these for our airbnb on all our beds. It matches all the bedding, does not show minutia imperfections. It could be better in the wrinkle department. it wrinkles a lot, but the sheets have held up in daily wash and dry. there are towels that are similar grey. i was shocked at how well these go with pastels and dark colors, with southwest patterns.

OK, you ready for this?Son's dorm bed is about 5" high, but the most uncomfortable bed he's ever slept on - in fact, he really didn't sleep. So, in addition to these sheets, we purchased the following two items (you can copy/paste these into your search bar):Twin XL 4 Inch Thick, 4 Pound Density Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper. Made in the USAandSpa Luxury Plush Dorm Cool Touch Tencel Lyocell - Poly Knit Mattress Pad - Made In The USA (Twin XL)All three make the perfect bed! (Look up my review on the Foam Bed Topper). And this fitted sheet actually fit! Don't know how, but it worked. The bed stays made, my son is comfortable and his good night's rest is helping him keep his grades up! Thanks Amazon!

For two years. Two years I suffered in silence. Yes. I.... I a struggling young adult struggled with only one... Yes that's right ONE set of sheets. Every week it was the same. Strip the bed. Wash the sheets, dry the sheets, remake the bed. Over the 2 years my one poor set of sheets took a beating. They saw countless menstrual cycles, various cold and flue viruses, dogs, and sleep overs. I meticulously washed and bleached those sheets until one day I took them from the wash and noted that they were beyond bleaching or stain removal. There were dying.... They were dying gray.I searched high and low. Went to target and TJ Maxx... But to no avail. Why... Why were simple square pieces of fabric $50.00!?!?!? I could not afford this. I could not justify the spending of $50.00 on plain white fabric. So I searched. I searched high and I searched low Until I came here...To The Amazon.It was here. Here I discovered them. Plain white sheets at a modest and affordable price."Don't buy them! You'll regret it! You need Egyptian cotton!" My mother said."No! I care not what cotton they be! All I need are sheets! I have no one to impress! No one who shares my bed! I am a lowly virgin promised in matrimony to another with a sworn vow of chastity! I care not for fancy sheets!" I shouted.So I bought them. I made my bed and I laid in it. And I can tell you that yes... They are I fact sheets that you can sleep in.

Super impressed for the price. Sheets are extremely soft after one wash, are light weight for summer nights, and have a nice sateen look to them. I don't think these sheets look or feel thin, like other reviewers, and would hold them up against our 700 count Egyptian sateen sheets any day. We bought a second set, we love these so much. Just wish they had a larger variety of colors.

I bought two of these to help in the process of moving. They've lasted pretty well through a few weeks of use in one spot, being shoved back into their bag and squished in the trunk of a car for weeks in summer heat, and then used again in another spot until beds came. Recently pulled them out again when people came to visit -- they still fully inflate and stay that way through most of the night (may have to pump a bit of air in once after a few hours -- and they seem to take a lot of weight, had a few people sitting on them at once at some points). I can't speak to the longevity, since it's only been about five months that I've had them, but they've served their purpose. And for the low price, what more could I ask?Some cons:- it smells really bad at first, there's an overwhelming chemical/plastic smell, so I'd take it out at least a day before using - it does go away.- it's kind of high, so if you have stability problems or fear even minor heights, I'd pick a shorter blow up.

Fills up in less than ten minutes. Very comfortable and really keeps you high off the ground.Manufacturer suggests you inflate this and keep it full for several hours prior to sleeping on it...Would give it a five but have not had it long enough..Motor is also very quiet however the cord is not that long. Motor is located at the foot of the mattress so plan on possibly using an extention cord if your outlet is not located at the foot of this mattress.

Built in pump works great but scares the cats (is that good or bad?). The bed is comfortable and the increased height is really nice. The instructions about letting it stretch and temperature changes making it seem like it's leaking are dead on. There was definitely a break-in period when it was new where I had to add air somewhat regularly--that seemed to settle down after 3 or so uses. If the temperature drops a lot it's going to get a little soft--that's just physics. I recommend locating it close to an outlet so you can top off as necessary.

Purchased this twin sized airbed for Christmas guest. Read the instructions, which say to inflate and leave bed up about three days, before using to test for firmness and ensuring not leakage. Today is day two and so far, everything seems fine. No odor, appears not to leak. Think this might be a good purchase. I will keep you posted should anything change. Amazon did not deliver on the date offered, some sort of delay. If you want a bed, give yourself plenty of time to order and test.

Last night I slept on this mattress, and I was more comfortable than when I camp, though less comfortable than when I sleep on my Sleep Number air bed at home. My bed is a REALLY old Sleep Number product, so while it doesn't compare to their newer stuff, it still does better than this air mattress for sleeping at home.I bet that if I stuck a pillow top on this mattress and found some way to weigh it down so it stays in place better, then it could compare to my current bed.

Aside from it being very squeaky with every move while on it being plastic directly onto hardwood flooring in our apartment it is a pretty comfortable air mattress. My favorite part is the built in air pump but that could be a double edged sword when it finally blows its last blow. I'm assuming that will render this air mattress useless but until then it's good stuff and was a great deal. We picked it up off Amazon. Fits queen sheets well and the way it was made it holds them on at the corners and the ends and sides well too.

Good air mattress for home or for camping. Can fit two adults comfortably. It's completely firm. Holds air throughout the night. The only issue we have with this product is although the mattress has a soft top it tends to get cold during the night. Cold in a way that removes your natural body heat and you begin to freeze. Any family member or friend who used this mattress experienced the same problem. However, we solved this issue by placing 3 thin quilt blankets below the sheet.

I like the comfort of this bed but I wish it had the option to constantly add air as needed like my old one did. I am a travel nurse and this is my main bed. As long as I keep the air full in this bed my back feels great in the morning. It is very cold to lie on however, I have 3 blankets on it to keep the cold away. I have to add air to it every 3 days I would estimate, not much but just enough to make it a hassle.

I'd say go for it. It is a good quality air bed. Be advised that you cannot really make it softer by simply deflating it. It is just firm with less air. It is a firm air bed, but is worth the money of you need a temporary bed. I have had it set up for a week now and it has not leaked, which is impressive. My dog had jumped up on there a few times and has not punctured it. All in all, I recommend it. I am not giving it 5 stars simply because I haven't anything else to compare it to.

I like this air mattress a lot, but with a caveat. We bought it because we recently moved to San Diego and, surprise surprise, all of a sudden everyone wants to visit us! (Can't blame them.)First, we had a couple sleep on the mattress for one night for its inaugural test, and they reported great comfort and no deflation. Fantastic! Second, one friend stayed two nights, with the same report--no deflation, very comfortable.Third, my husband's sister stayed with us for two nights, and after the first night, said she woke up in a mattress burrito, so moved to the couch. My husband had inflated the mattress this time, so I reminded him that to check that the knob was securely locked on the "inflate" side. He said he had done so, but said I should try doing it the second night since I'd had three successful inflations under my belt at this point. I did it that second night and she still ended up in a "mattress hammock" as she so kindly put it. What a bummer! After she left, we inflated it again and left it in the living room to see what happened. It seemed to hold its shape, but once we lay on it and watched some TV, we noticed it starting to deflate, and we tried our darndest to identify where the leak was coming from, but had no luck. No noise of air escaping (although we must have looked really odd crawling around the mattress with our ears to the vinyl), no feeling of air rushing out, so we couldn't patch the leak, either. We have guests coming this weekend and again in another few weeks, which really sad as the air mattress only lasted a total of three nights. Since I really, really like this mattress when it works correctly, I'm going to cross my fingers that it was defective, and order a new one (I didn't keep the packaging after the first successful usage because I figured we were good to go!) and if it eats my money again, then I'm going to have to return it (keeping the packaging this time!!) and take my business elsewhere. But let it not be said that I give up easily.

We ordered this as a makeshift arrangement for 2-3 days till our permanent mattress came in. And had planned to give it away to someone after use. We didn't want it for longer coz were scared that air bed might give us a backache. My husband is a stomach sleeper and I a back n side sleeper.Once opened, it takes around 5-7 minutes to properly inflate to its full capacity. Unexpectedly, this bed was so comfortable that we ended up sleeping on it for 3 weeks. We didnt open the other mattress and due to the comfort, we were in no hurry and hence the 3 days stretched to 3 weeks.I took one star away coz it loses its air and has to be refilled every 2-3 days depending on the use. And if you doesn't inflate again, one can get bodyache. So as long as the air is in, you will stay comfortable.Deflating it was also easy. And we have decided to keep it for any guests who might drop in. This is easy to store and install/ uninstall when needed. Happy with the product.Packaging was also good.

Based on many of the reviews, I was hesitant to buy this product. It was either loved or hated. Many claimed it leaked air during the night. But I liked the built in pump and the height off the ground, important for an elderly couple. We have slept on it for two nights so we don't have a long term report to make. But I found as the air mattress engineer of the family I found it compact and I like the storage pouch that came with it for travel or storage. The pump filled the mattress quickly and was easy to adjust the inflation. I filled it at first and then let it settle out. Then once it had stretched out and all chambers filled, I pumped it up to the firm mattress we like for our backs. The first night we did find that it leaked air getting more like a water bed. Not good. But I had myself to blame, not the product. I had not fully read the instructions. The mattress and pump has a knob that changes the direction of the pump. One way for filling and the other way for pump all the air out so that it becomes completely flat for easy folding and storage in the supplied pouch. If that knob is not either all the way one way or the other, it can let some air leak out. But if firmly to the right (clockwise) for filling, then we found the second night that the mattress did not leak at all and stayed fully inflated until I pumped the air out for storage. A standard Queen fitted sheet fits perfectly. At a full inflation, one sleeper did not wake up the other when getting out of bed for a toilet visit during the night. Better than many standard beds. With additional uses, I may well bump the rating up to 5 star if it continues to perform as it seemed to on the two nights we used it.

Can't beat the price. Soft fabric that is holding up very well. The fitted sheet does tend to stretch out quite a bit by the time it's changed, which is usually about once a week. Have a set in dark gray and a set of navy. The navy color is surprisingly shinny and reminds me of the ties the self-proclaimed "hicks" wore to prom back in the '00s.

When they say basic, they mean it. It's an inexpensive material that is smooth to the touch. Their really deep sheets as well, though I imagine a few washes on hot and they'll shrink down a bit. You get what is advertised.

I like these sheets. They keep you cool when you sleep. Not a huge fan of microfiber but wanted to give these a try due to so many great reviews. They are definitely worth the money and the dark grey is just what I was looking for.

Great sheet set for the price. I will warn you that because these are microfiber sheets you need to be careful when you wash them. If you have anything in the wash or dryer that sheds ot leaves lint it will attach itself to the sheets and pillow cases.

This was a pleasant surprise: cheap and still decent quality. These sheets are definitely not cotton. They feel and look polyester. However, they are still soft with a nice sheen and a good drape. They are perfect for the price.I do not know how long they will last. But I intended them as the guest sheets and so far I am very happy. They are not bulky and easy to store. They can be used with both a bed and a futon thanks to the deep pocket fitted sheet.

These are nice, basic sheets. I am using them for a guest room that has two twin beds pushed together to form a king-sized bed. My guests have remarked about how comfortable these sheets are. They are easy care, wash well, and do not wrinkle. Microfiber sheets should be washed in warm water without chlorine bleach. Tumble dry low, and they're ready to go. I'm definitely a microfiber sheet convert. I find them to be the most comfortable sheets ever, and the price can't be beat.

I bought this for my parents so that when I went to visit with my family we would all have a "bed" to sleep in. I gave it only three stars because if you roll too close to an edge (for the twin size at least) the whole thing starts to hip. Our solution was to slide one edge up against the wall and place a blanket folded up the long way under the other end to hold it steady. This seemed to work okay but it made me wish that I purchased the queen or the full. Other than that it is reasonably comfortable, and it blows up very easily.

The bed is excellent and quality is great. Blows up fast and fairly quietly. However the actually part of the bed that supports an adults body is too small. Get the Double or Queen size if you're buying this for an adult to sleep on. I also own the queen size and its awesome, 5 star.

Comfortable bed but does not hold air long. This is my second Intex airbed and the first one leaked so bad that by the end of the night, it was almost completely deflated. I bought a second one and it holds about 3/4 of the air for 24 hours and then needs to be inflated. No obvious leaks in the mattress so there is no way of patching or determining where it is leaking from. Use strictly indoors and handled gently. It is very comfortable though when fully inflated.

This is the highest quality air mattress I've ever owned. I have previously been using double high queen sized air mattresses from the big box camping section. This mattress blows those away in quality. It holds its air and shape better than other mattresses I've owned. I had to let a little bit of air out because it was too firm!! I didn't use the included pump since I was camping with it. I used my regular rechargeable pump. The surface material is pleasant.Unfortunately, I have to give this 3 stars because of the rocking problem. I think it is too tall for the width, and that makes the whole thing rock side to side whenever you roll over on it. I didn't feel like it was going to fall over, but it was definitely awkward.

Only reason I'm giving it 3 instead of 5 starts is because I received mine with a couple little holes in it. I blew up the mattress and it is very, very comfortable, but it deflated after a couple hours and then it when I noticed the holes. I don't think the company will take the mattress back because of certain laws but I also will not order from them again since I received mine damaged. It's a shame because it really is a comfortable bed, but I also wasted $50 so that's that.

It is ok. The twin side wants to rock from side-to-side due to the width. I wanted a twin for the space, but would buy a double the next time to reduce the rocking when you turn. Other than that, it is well made and easy to inflate.

I've had various air mattresses over the years, all of them feeling incredibly uncomfortable. This one is more comfortable, but the air moves around like the water in a waterbed. My husband and I couldn't sleep very well because of these. We adjust the amount of air in it to try and make it more comfortable, but nothing helped. Thankfully we only needed to use it for three nights while waiting for our furniture to be delivered.

Was singing this air mattress's praises until out of no where it started losing air pressure. I was so happy with this bed for the first 45 days but it hasn't been a full 2 months yet and the bed loses air. I literally have to wake in the middle of the night to re inflate which is disruptive to my sleep & I'm sure my neighbor's as well when I turn the pump on. There has been no puncture or anything heavy on the bed to explain why this is happening. I use the bed at most 5hrs a nite during a 5 day work week. The bed until the last 3 weeks was perfect as it is the same height as a standard bed on a box spring and frame. It does require deep pocket King size sheets to fit the thickness of the queen mattress. Not sure how long air mattresses should last but I still think it was a good purchase vs the uncomfortable futon option I was using before.

I was so excited about this purchase, but it quickly disappointed. The first night we used it, it was ok, it deflated a little bit, but wasn't really that big of a deal. The second night we used it it completely folded in in the middle of the night, and we couldn't sleep on it. Now this could be because the house we stayed at they had a cat so it could have scratched it, but not too sure. I returned it anyway and got my money back.Worth it to buy, just don't use it around a cat!

I have had this air matress for a couple of months now. It came at the beginning of December. I liked it because it had an automatic pump, and was high off the ground. Only complaint at first was that it didn't seem to hold air for very long. That seemed to get better with a couple of uses. Just yesterday i started to hear a whistle that sounded like air leaking and sure enough, there was a leak in the seam of the mattress... VERY hard to patch. I ended up going to Walmart and getting a bike tire patch. I am hoping that this works. This bed has done it's job until now, I was just hoping it would be sturdier. If this does not work I will be buying a roll away.

Good value for the money, but trying to be the height of a regular bed causes two problems: No way to tuck in top sheet and blankets, and a far bigger problem, that's a lot of cold air to try to heat up with your body. I was cold and stiff trying to sleep on it and if I use it again I'll have to figure out a major insulative layer...but what to use? Maybe okay when I need an extra bed when guest come IN THE SUMMER and IN A FAR WARMER MORE HUMID CLIMATE. I had slept on one at a cousin's apartment in NYC on an August night and thought it fine, but the human body cannot heat this volume of air space.

UPDATED: 01/02/2017One of the inflatables does not hold up air anymore. I searched through and through for a whole but could not find any. It just won't stay up overnight and had to pump air into it every so often. A big disappointment as we have been very careful at using this, and only used it a few times.I was anxious ordering an airmattress online. I was also considering a more expensive airmattress at amazon before buying this one. I am so glad I bought this. It worked like a charm. Bought two queens for relatives who were staying over for two nights. This mattress stayed firm and did not deflated overnight. Love that the pump is included and the plug has it's own slot for you to tuck it in when done finlating the bed. Inflating and deflating has been so much easier than two other air mattresses we have owned. My husband who did not want to buy another air mattress again has been convinced that this one is an exception. He liked them and was glad I bought them too. The mattress look big once inflated, but it's actually just right once you set everything up (sheets and all). One of the mattresses held up pretty good even with a tempurpedic memory foam mattress on top (that weighed pretty heavy) . Our guests appreciated that it's raised, one of our guest had a bad knee and the height was just right for getting up without effort. It did not go floppy two nights straight. Deflating it was no problem, it did not take long. The bag fit the mattress just fine. It did not break or tear. You just need to follow the instruction on how to fold the mattress properly to fit in the bag. Overall, great buy for the price!! I'm glad that for the price of the other mattress I was considering, I was able to buy two of these instead. I am considering of buying another one for our guests' kids to keep everything at the same height.UPDATE:I just set them up again for incoming guests. I inflated one of the Intex queen sized mattresses and the lower navy colored one I got from Kmart in 2013 ( it's intext too but the cheaper one reference -https://amzn.com/B000HBILB2 ).I cannot tell you enough how much easier the process of inflating and setting up the Intex over the blue one from Kmart. The blue one from Kmart had a separate electric pump. I forgot how annoying, loud, and SLOW it was until after I inflated this. The Intext was so easy, it wasn't too loud. The Intex airmatress - you plug it in, turn it on and it inflates on it's own in less than five minutes. It's much higher than the Kmart one and the quality of the mattress is far superior than the one I got from Kmart. The entire matress has this velvety/felt all over it's body. Unlike the Kmart one where the body is literally plastic. It really makes you feel like you are sleeping not only on an air mattress, but you are sleeping on one of those floaties you used on the swimming pool. The Intex however, is firm, sturdy and higher. It almost doesn't feel like an airmattress. It holds air pretty good. Atleast the ones that I got. The Kmart one is not holding air as good as the Intex.In some of the photos, I am showing how you can take this airmattress up a notch with comfort and it is holding up pretty good. Padded mattress protector on, bed sheets, nice fluffy comforter, great pillows, extra soft throw and it makes a huge difference being that you are having your guests sleep on an air mattress.I would have added a matress topper, but I live in an apartment, and this is a temporary situation - I don't have room to keep a mattress topper so I opted for a quilted mattress protector which added some softness on top of the mattress.Great solution and great buy for incoming guests!!

They look nice, but... they won't stay on the bed. After two days the corners lift off the mattress and the way the bed is situated, I can't easily redo them. I tried swapping ends but that didn't help. I ordered another set from a different company and haven't had the problem. I suspect the elastic in the corners is not strong enough.

I bought these sheets in July and they were better than I anticipated. They were soft and comfortable, so overall I was pretty pleased with this purchase. I have used the sheets regularly since but have noticed that they are starting to develop pulling in spots. I have had to stop using them and keep them only for emergencies at this point. I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't last very long.

I was happy with these when I received them, even though the fabric felt a little odd (a very polyester feel). They fit the bed well, and the color was nice. Unfortunately, after owning them for less than a year they have developed a musty smell. (They were washed weekly and rotated with another set of sheets.) I washed the sheets with other items, and the sheets were the only thing that developed an odor. I washed them on their own, and they still smelled. If you frequently change the style of your bedding, these are fine. If you want to get any mileage out of them, pass on these.

I really wanted to love these sheets because the price could not be beat, however, they really don't work on a mattress that is thicker than 12". The description stated that it will fit up to a 16" mattress. Well it does but as soon as you lay down, the fitted sheet starts to pop off. If it was just about 3 more inches bigger all around, it would fit better. The material is lightweight and silky feeling so it is comfortable. It washed and dried very well with no shrinking. The color is exactly what I was expecting. Might have to order a king sized set the next time. Would recommend but just not for a deep mattress.

Bought 2 so I had one for the wash at all times. Very soft yet thin and seem to survive the claws of my cats fairly well.Update: Downgraded. One started tearing up at spots where I have my feet. Didn't last a year even with alternating. The other set is fine, tho. Kinda sucks but for the price I think the value is still there. I could also just be abnormally hard on sheets.

The material is thin but soft. These sheets are fine for kids, dorm use, or in between when you're washing your good sheets. I don't expect them to last long, but they are acceptable for the cost.

This is the second one of these beds that I've owned. The first one lasted about 8 years with occasional use. This one is leaking already after only one month. I should have heeded the warnings on many of the other reviews written here. It's almost impossible to isolate and identify the leak so that it can be fixed, so I'm probably committed to turning on the pump every other day to refill it as long as I need to use it.

Ordered a twin size and all you seem to do is roll off way to easy. Way to bouncy to even try to sleep on. Maybe a full size would work out better.

It's a comfortable mattress for 1 person and if you sleep in the middle.The problem - this mattress is so tall, and there is no support on the sides, and if you sleep on the sides, you roll off on to the floor.2 people - someone always ends up on the floor. LOL

My husband and I have a one bedroom home. I bought this air mattress because our son was coming to spend the weekend with us. The first night he rolled off of it - it tipped over. The 2nd night it happened again, I put more air in it, but it was very unstable. The 3rd night we had to put the bed between the sofa and a table so it wouldn't roll. I would have returned it, but my husband threw away the shipping box. :( The bed is very unstable.

I've owned a few air mattresses and got tired of them deflating. This one does seem a little stronger and better quality, however, I found it to be extremely uncomfortable. The "improved" technology puts what feels like cross beams horizontally across the bed and it was so uncomfortable I went out and bought a different air mattress. Disappointing!!

I bought this air mattress to replace a previous Intex mattress. The one I had before was the "Intex deluxe pillow rest." It was swollen on one end to simulate a "pillow". That one held air good, and was stable, but I didn't really like the pillow feature like I thought I would. These beds have an electrical pump which you just plug into an outlet and turn on. They also have a recess were you fold the cord and put it back into the mattress and close the hole with a plastic cover. The reason I got rid of my last one was because the cord was completely torn in half on one side from the bending and twisting you have to do to get the cord back inside the mattress. Now back to THIS one. I bought this one because it was flat, I noticed from the first night I slept on it, that it was kind of wobbly, like the base of the mattress was smaller than the sleeping area. I got used to it, no big deal. Then after about two weeks it started to deflate in the middle of the night. I'd be sleeping good on it, but if I turned over I would end up on the floor. It was like sleeping on a waterbed. If it was stable and didn't deflate, it would be a pretty good mattress. Maybe I got a defective one.

It's hard as a rock! It fills up fast, holds air, and is quite tall. Tried it twice so far, once when we took it on a overnight to family and once when family came to visit. We did not have a good nights sleep, and our family opted to sleep on the couch rather then this mattress. Even after letting out some air for extra cushion it wasn't comfortable, the material doesn't have any give. I'll keep it for the grandkids to play on. I don't like giving bad ratings, but can not recommend this air mattress, however, if you like something extremely firm this might be for you.

This is the second air mattress I have purchased and both units have had the same problem... they continuously leak even after multiple days of being inflated. Intex's instructions say that some leakage is normal for the first 2-3 days of inflation due to the mattress stretching. But both my mattresses leaked after being inflated for 7 days. My guests couldn't sleep on the mattress without waking up on the floor in the middle of the night. I used soap and water to search the entire mattress for any tears/holes/ and couldn't find any. My guess is that the leak comes from the built-in inflator. Unfortunately I didn't use this mattress right away and it's now out of it's warranty period. I won't be purchasing another Intex mattress. I recommend air mattresses from a strong brand like Coleman who I've not had any issues with after years of use.

When we first got this I loved it. My cousins spent the night on it and said they loved it. I left it aired up and it stayed hard for 2 weeks. My sister came and slept on it for a week and she loved it! We took it down, I used the pump in deflate mode to get all the air out. We rolled it up, on carpet, and put it in it's bag. It fit wonderfully!Fast forward a week and we took it with us on a family vacation. We aired it up on a carpeted floor and my brother slept on it for two hours and it was very low. I am so disappointed because it worked so great the first two weeks. I thought it was a fluke so I deflated it again and repumped it up making sure the dial was all the way in the inflate position. It still deflated, even without anyone laying on it. This would have been a five star review if it would have kept up.

Great size, comfortable, and convenient. Too bad it only last 3 overnight uses. The mattress began to have a leak and now deflates with any use. Won't make it through the night.

Originally ordered this mattress and it had a manufacturing defect, the sealant around the pump didn't go fully around and left a small gap for air to seep through. It was an audible hiss that made it easy to pinpoint.I returned it without a hassle, and got another. This one lasted about 1 month staying fully inflated, but has developed a small pinhole leak and won't stay inflated through a night.Originally I had thought it was just a decent t, but it appears that the manufacturing is just shoddy. Two mattresses, two leaks. Wouldn't recommend the product, but it was comfortable while it worked.

Update 11/15/2016- I've had this air mattress for almost two weeks now... using it while I settle into my new house. The material is soft and it was very easy to blow it up.Simply plug in the cord and turn on the switch.So indeed you have to occasionally inflate the bed as instructed in directions.So every morning for the first few days I had re-air it. Once its broken in, then it maintains air pressure. BUT the bed stretches out on the sides so it looses the square shape. Kinda annoying because my fitted bed sheet does not wrap around it as easily and comes off occasionally at night or when climbing to bed, I have to slowly get on or the corners of the sheet will pop off. I just got rid of the sheets since I kept wakign up tangled in it lol #thestruggleisreal. Now that I have my real mattress back, I put the air mattress away but I wonder now that its stretched out how long will it hold up (after me sleeping on it for a week) I will update with a photo soon.Over all, I would not recommend this air mattress for long term use. A week was too long. Maybe as a spare for occasional one night guests.

I purchased the Amazon Basics Microfiber Sheet Set to use on an air mattress for overnight guests. They fit well and the burgundy color is beautiful but these sheets are not microfiber. I specifically wanted microfiber sheets for warmth because air mattresses tend to be chilly if the temps are cool. It's a good thing these sheets will not be used on a regular basis because they are very thin and I doubt they will hold up for long.

These sheets are low quality material that feels rough and they pill very easily. The pilling makes if feel like the sheets are full of sand or sawdust. I've never owned fancy sheets, so I'm making a fair comparison to similarly priced sets when I say that these are among the worst I've owned. They would get a 1 star, but I have experienced the super-cheap, crinkly, paper-like sheets they sell to college students for Twin XL beds. So there is something worse, but as far as inexpensive sheets go, I'd look elsewhere.

EDIT:Meh, they were amazing, while they lasted. I washed them once, and within 4 days the fitted sheet pilled like crazy and became very uncomfortable, the flat sheet is beginning to pill too. I halfway expected this due to the price, but I'd expect them to last more than a week! A good alternative (So far) would be Target's Threshold brand, the 300 thread count sheets are very cost effective, (less soft than these), but hold up much better.-----------------------------------------Oh. My. God.Sleep is my favorite activity, (or lack thereof), and these sheets are heaven for a whole $20. I've washed them a total of twice, and pilling has not become an issue. Seriously, don't buy these $50 sheet sets on Amazon when you can buy these.

This sheet was on our Queen size bed for all of about two days before I took it off and stored it as an emergency sheet.Despite ordering the Queen size, the sheet failed to fit all the way around our mattress. We do not have a pillow top, so the depth of the matress should not have been an issue with this sheet. Nonetheless, the sheet wrapped around half way down each side of the mattress and slipped off on both of the two nights it was used. I don't know about you, but it's infuriating when you attempt to turn in your sleep and your arm is caught UNDER the sheet.This is the only bad product I've gotten from amazon, fortunately, though I'm still a little bummed.I would recommend, if you're looking to save cash by buying these sheet sets, that you purchase the sheets a size up (twin bed = full/queen sheets) and also purchase a set of adjustable sheet straps. These are basically elastic adjustable strips with clips on each end to grab the corners of your sheet and hold them down. The straps lay on the opposite side of your mattress.

These sheets are soft and nice looking. They fit my mattress perfectly and stay put, however, I washed them once and the threads have pulled all over the fitted sheet, make little balls everywhere. It's extremely uncomfortable and I would return them if I could.

After maybe three washes, they are pilling a lot and they are kind of rough against the skin now and don't look very nice. Had I reviewed right away, I would have given the sheets at least 4 stars, but they have not held up well at all.

Bought this air bed just over a month ago . Inflated it three times .The third time I inflated it the air pump seal failed . The airbed will no longer hold air. One of the internal supports inside has come loose and the bed is now lop sided . Can't return to Amazon because it is past 30 days . Waist of money . Haven't beena able to contact manufacturer yet . Will not buy this brand again . Amazon being the seller should back the product itself .

In the beginning, I wasn't sure the of the quality .so I only bought one. After the first use it seem to work wonderfully well, so I bought a second one. I haven't open the second box yet. Planing to keep the bed handy when hurricane season comes or for unexpected guesses. After three uses of my first air bed, it started to deflate in the middle of my sleep. This was not comfortable, I would rather sleep on the floor. I had hoped to get more use out of the air bed before it started to deflate. The ones I had in the pass would last up to two or three years with at least 6 uses within each year. Only giving 1 starts because I only had two good uses with the bed. I hope now that my second box will last longer. If not then I'm trying a different brand.

I wil be retuning this item. Inflated it for my 6 year old grandson to spend the night. Kept saying he was not tired while laying on it. I finally told him to get on my bed and I laid on the air mattress. He was fast asleep in 5 minutes in my normal bed and I could not in any way get comfortable on this airbed. Finally gave up and went to another bedroom to sleep. Very disappionted.

I am not a person to write many reviews but this mattress was a waste of money. I started noticing that it would not hold air for shorter and shorter periods. About 6 week into using it, the air barely held overnight. I used water to locate the leak in the hopes that I could repair it. Unfortunately the perimeter around the plastic casing for the built in pump was the source of the leak. Apparently the seal was defective. I will never buy an Intex airbed again because they told me that there is no warranty and this is explained on their website. Some reviewers were told 90 days but not me.

Not a very comfortable bed. Feels like sleeping on a brick since there is very little tufting. The first night we used it we realized it was too soft and my husband and I fell to the center. Filled it up more the second night and it was too hard for comfort but we didn't fall to the center so we added a foam topper which helped. However, filling it up 3 times throughout the night was obviously noisy in a campground and ridiculous! Instructions mentions the stretching that happens, but we believe after several nights it shouldn't be stretching still so it has to be losing air. Have now used it 3 times and it won't keep air. What a waste of $!

As with most of the one star ratings the problem with leaks after a short period of time exists with me too. In fact we never got to use it. It leaked from the start. We bought this to use for visitors to our home, so it was several months after we purchased it that the bed was used. I have no idea where its leaking from. Incredibly disappointed

I bought this to use at a friend's house when I stayed the night there because he didn't have a guest bedroom and didn't have a sofa to sleep on. I come here every few weeks and stay for a night or two. The first few times using this product were fantastic. Bed stayed firm after sleeping on it overnight and had minimal air leakage. Sadly, over the past few weeks it is losing lots of air overnight. Just inflated it fully about two hours ago and it's already lost a good chunk of its firmness - enough to wake me up because my body isn't being properly supported.Loved this product when I first received it, but I could not recommend it in good faith.

We have had the air mattress for over a month, and the chemical industrial smell is still so strong that we don't like going in the room where it is being stored. We even hung it up outside for a day and the smell is still very strong. We don't want to keep it in our house, let alone ask guests to sleep on it all night. It is decently comfortable and the air pump works well, so that is why it is 2 stars instead of 1.UPDATE (07/29/2017): Air mattress has now developed a pretty significant leak, and I am downgrading this to 1 star.

we read the reviews that said it needed a few times before the bed would hold the air but it has been several times and it has never remained inflated throughout the night my guests hate it and would prefer to sleep on my couch! waste of money

I purchased our air mattress to stay on when going to stay at a friends out of town, but we got a hotel room instead, so we didn't need. Lastnight I aired it up because we have a bunch of company coming and it has at least two nice holes in it. I tried patching it up, but when I went down to check on it today, the air was lacking in the bed.

Purchased mattress and a little over 3 months after purchase, mattress popped from the top portion. The whole is about 2-3 inches large. Nothing changed for the past week of sleeping on it and while laying down watching TV, all of the sudden the mattress just burst. We do not over inflate and do not keep any sharp objects around the bed. This is very disappointing as we actually like this mattress and the sleep quality. I hope Intex does the honorable thing and replaces our mattress as clearly it was defective.

This mattress worked great about...3 times. I purchased this air mattress in July and after a couple of uses it already has a hole somewhere that we can't even find to try and patch. Really disappointing overall as Amazon says the return period has passed. We were always very careful with the mattress and it has only been used indoors, so that fact that it worked 3 times and I can't get my money back is pretty frustrating. I would not purchase this air mattress again. Buy one with a warranty and save yourself the headache.

These sheets were so damn dirty when I opened them. I purchased them prior to my move and did not open them right away. If it had not been past the time when I could return them I would have, I tried washing them, but the dirt (or whatever it was) did not come out. I had to throw them in the trash. What a waste! Shame on Amazon and AmazonBasics for selling and shipping dirty sheets. That's disgusting!

My sheets ripped after the first time I washed them.

sheets are 2 months old and the elastic is worn out. Will have to purchase another set but will NOT purchase Amazon Basic brand again

Nice sheets but full size does NOT fit a deep pocket full mattress. Had to return.

Pilling badly after only two washes. I liken the softness to a piece of 100 grit sand paper. I'm reminded of my poor purchasing decision every time I roll over in bed. Normally the reviews on Amazon don't steer you in the wrong direction…… I plan on returning these.

These sheets have begun to ball up on me. Yes i followed the instructions 100% on washing them. And now there are little balls forming all over the sheets that make the sheets itchy. I loved them at first but now, not so much.
