The intex airbed is a unique type of airbed that offers the benefits of two kinds of beds: a traditional raised bed, and the inflatable airbed. The Intex airbed is built to match the expectations you’d want from both types of beds: the coziness, homeliness, and personalization options of a conventional bed, and the contour, comfort, and portability of an airbed. With you are looking for this type of bed, you won’t go wrong with the Intex airbed.

Of course, when you talk about an airbed, one would naturally wonder what type of pump it should use.

You don’t need to research, buy, or borrow a particular kind of pump for the Intex airbed because it comes pre-installed with one. Literally — ‘pre-installed’, because the pump is installed inside the bed. You can deflate and inflate the Intex airbed with the pump, and the controls are located outside the bed. This is so because using another kind of pump from other airbed brands can be potentially dangerous and damaging to the Intex airbed.

Although it is an airbed, the model is designed with a flocked top and sides, which happen to be very cozy for sleepers. It has also raised profile, giving you the feeling of sleeping on a conventional bed. Furthermore, you can put it on a bedspring which can be raised to your liking. Be careful still, that the airbed fits perfectly into the bedspring, and the bedspring parts do not cause scratches to the airbed. The foundation of the bedspring should also be solid, otherwise you risk damaging the airbed itself.

There are five kinds of construction usually used to make Intex airbeds.

• I beams are vinyl beams which are placed parallel to each other either horizontally or vertically.
• Wave beams are I beams that form air channels of equal distance and also form a surface shaped like a wave.
• Coil beams are vinyl beams shaped like coils and are welded to the bed’s main frame.
• Comfort top construction is a double layer foundation, wherein the top layer is welded to the bottom layer providing more spring and flexibility.
• Airflow construction involves pockets in the frame that are shaped like diamonds to allow a smooth flow of air in between.

You might wonder whether or not an Intex airbed can be compatible with regular bedsheets. In fact, an Intex airbed can be covered with the right size of bedsheets. Make sure that the sheets have the right size of pockets so that it can cover the depth of the entire airbed.
