Amazon.com Product Description
The Downy twin mattress offers a unique wave beam construction for maximum comfort. | The Intex Downy twin inflatable airbed is ideal for travelers who want the comforts of a bed but the convenience of a blow-up mattress. The Down is equipped with a quality-tested, 20.8-gauge waterproof flocked top, along with 14-gauge vinyl beams and a 15-gauge bottom. The resulting surface is luxurious and durable, with a unique wave beam construction that eliminates uncomfortable surface bumps and provides a flat, uniform sleeping surface throughout the night. In addition, the Downy is remarkably easy to inflate thanks to the built-in bellows foot pump. No more rummaging through your camping gear for your faulty 15-year-old pump. And thanks to the two-in-one valve, you can also inflate the mattress with an optional electrical pump (sold separately). Finally, the Downy is raised 8.75 inches from the floor, insulating you from the cold ground surface far better than a camping mat. The Downy--which is ideal for camping or as a spare bed--offers a 300-pound capacity and carries a 90-day warranty. About Intex

 Deflating air matress September 1, 2010
caz
This mattress was great for the first four hours. Then my back would touch the floor and I would be wide awake. Kinda of like a gradual alarm clock, but set about four hours too early. Pay more and get an air mattress that works!
 great value July 27, 2010

The air mattress is very sturdy and easy to inflate and deflate. I was even able to get it back into the original box for storage! I was surprised to find that it has a built it foot pump that was very easy to use. Well worth my $$.
Twin Mattress July 16, 2010
D. Barber (Tacoma.Wash.)
I have had an awful time finding a comfortable and inexpensive twin bed. The Big-S makers (Serta, Sealy, and Simmons), are apparently incapable or unwilling to make a decent bed at an affordable price. Most low end mattresses are rock-hard and overpriced even at that. I haven't given up hope of finding a truly comfortable bed at a decent price but it's not easy. Meanwhile, I have found twin sized air-mattresses to be extremely comfortable and very reasonably priced as a short term solution.
The problem is durability. They last a few months and that's it. They are not possible to repair in my own experience. My first mattress was made by an outfit called spelled Wetzel, I believe. Amazon stopped carrying the twin size and I was forced to go with a full size mattress even though it takes up more room than I'd like. For this reason, I bought the Intex Downy Twin mattress. A total waste of my money. I kept it in it's suitcase like box until I felt that my existing mattress should go. When I unpacked the Intex mattress I discovered a one-sheet pamphlet passed off as a so-called set of instructions. The pamphlet drawings and text were useless. But, the worst part was that the integral pump failed completely. I pumped, and pumped. Two strait hours. Nothing. Further, the manual inflation port is deeply recessed and cannot be reached by mouth, so even the laborious process of lung inflation was not an option.
Once unpacked from their tight shipping box, these mattresses cannot be realistically re-packed for a return. So if you buy such a mattress it's caveat emptor ( Sorry, "let the buyer beware" ). I realize that I may have simply gotten a lemon but I had complete success with three Wetzel mattresses and total failure with my one and only Intex model. One things sure, I will have nothing to do with this company again. Others have made positive reviews so maybe I'm one of the unlucky few, but I will not recommend this product to anyone. Sorry.

I made 2 mistakes when I bought this item. First, I went for the least expensive air mattress I could find. My second mistake was not using it until the deadline for returning it to Amazon expired. My 90 pound (12 year-old) son slept on it one time. In the morning it was flat. It's never been able to hold air since. Lessons learned; 1. Don't buy cheap, 2. Don't wait too long to try the item!!!
Very comfortable; Well designed January 4, 2010

The mattress is extraordinarily comfortable. Possibly better than your bed at home. The flocked top surface is good at preventing your slippery nylon sleeping bag from oozing off the edge as you sleep.
The valve is great for fast inflation and deflation.
Prices for this are all over the place, so shop around.
My family has 4 of these. The walls are pretty thick (14 mil), but I have acquired 1 or 2 small punctures over the years. Easily repaired with duct tape or the included patch material. (Make sure you bring it.)
Get a heavy nylon stuff sack, so it won't get punctured during storage or transport.
It's kind of heavy (6.5 lbs). Not a problem for car camping or in-home use.
