UPDATE 3/21/2017
The air mattress continued to perform well until today when it failed to hold pressure. It has been the best performers of all the mattresses I've tried. Unfortunately, this air mattress appears to have been discontinued.
Kudos to Intex for producing a great air mattress. (Boo for discontinuing it)
UPDATE 4/11/16
The air mattress is about 7 months old and continues to be an excellent performer. It has no leaks and rarely has to be topped off. It shows no signs of wear even though I have used it daily. I find it comfortable and one of the few mattresses of any type that my back degenerative disk disease will tolerate. I continue to recommend this mattress, especially for individuals with lower back pain.
================================
Correction: The bottom of the air mattress is not flocked, it has a textured surface to mitigate slipage.
=================================
My experience with prior Intex air mattresses has lead me to delay this review until 90 days usage has passed. The mattress was received on time and in good condition. The packaging gave great protection to the mattress and the package showed no signs of damage.
It's height when inflated stands about 14“at the corner. It has a built-in inflation /deflation pump that is easy to operate but do not have an automatic fill pump (to date, I have not found this to be a limitation) . As with most vinyl mattresses, this mattress had to be adjusted by adding small amounts of air each night for only a few times to compensate for initial stretching.
The mattress is grey in color and is flocked on all sides. The foot print is slightly enlarged at the base. This makes for a stable foundation with no tendency to slip, slide or roll. I use a foam topper and a mattress pad to protect the top surface and to give a slight pillow top feel. I believe vinyl mattresses fail when ones body weight is concentrated on a small area and rotated like on a knee, elbow or backside. I think this puts great stresses on interior panels that act as stabilizers and sets up an area for future failure. I have determined this by doing a post mortem on several failed mattresses.
To date, this twin air mattress has shown to be of superior construction and stands up to daily use. It handles a loading of 210 lbs with ease and It's price makes for an exceptional value. It deflates with ease for quick storage which is about 1 sqft.
I recommend this air mattress and I would purchase it again.
