An Intex airbed can be used as a guest bed, a travel bed or a sleeping mat for camping. The range includes everything from compact single models to raised airbeds for 2 people. But it’s not just the “Dura-Beam” or “Deluxe” label that matters: the key is finding the right combination of dimensions, sleeping height, pump type and maximum weight capacity.
A double airbed measuring 152 × 203 cm takes up considerably more floor space than a single model measuring 99 × 191 cm. In small guest rooms, tents or festival accommodation, you may also need to allow extra room to get on and off the bed. Before buying, check not only the airbed’s dimensions but also the floor space available.
An airbed with an electric pump can be inflated quickly at home using a plug socket. But a 220- to 240-volt supply isn’t always available at campsites or festivals. An airbed with a USB pump can be powered by a power bank or a suitable USB adapter. An integrated foot pump works without electricity, but requires physical effort.
A raised airbed with a sleeping height of 42 or 46 cm makes it easier to get on and off. At the same time, it may be heavier and bulkier than an inflatable mattress that’s 25 or 30 cm high. A lower design is usually more practical if you’re carrying it in a rucksack or a small suitcase.
Check the actual dimensions:
Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity stated by the supplier. For a double model with a 272 kg capacity, you should also take luggage, concentrated weight and movement into account. An airbed is not designed for jumping, standing or bouncing.
An airbed with a pump saves time, but pump systems vary considerably:
Inflation times are estimates. Temperature, power source, desired firmness and the material stretching when first used can all affect the result.
The models mentioned are made from materials including PVC or vinyl, with a soft flocked sleeping surface and Fiber-Tech construction. Product descriptions also refer to numerous lightweight polyester fibres inside. These details describe how the airbed is made, but don’t replace the need to check its dimensions, weight limit and intended use.
The flocked surface can help stop bedding from slipping. The surface you place it on and how you handle it are especially important for its lifespan. Put your camping airbed on a clean, level surface and remove stones, twigs and other sharp objects. Keep it away from pets, naked flames, high temperatures and prolonged, intense direct sunlight.
Why this product suits you: This single model measures 99 × 191 × 25 cm, takes up little floor space and works without a plug socket. It’s suitable for occasional overnight stays, camping or travel.
The integrated foot pump means you don’t need to rely on an unsuitable mains power supply. Its moderate height also keeps the packed size manageable compared with raised models.
Integrated foot pump; maximum weight capacity of 136 kg according to the product details; 2-in-1 valve for deflation.
Why this product suits you: This 46 cm-high single bed is designed for use indoors as a guest bed. Its integrated 220- to 240-volt pump inflates it without the need for separate accessories.
The power requirements are clearly stated, so you won’t mistakenly expect to use it without mains electricity. Its height is given as a specific measurement, rather than an ambiguous promise of comfort.

Why this product suits you: This single bed measures 99 × 191 × 30 cm and is aimed at campers and festival-goers looking for a portable power solution. You can use a power bank or compatible USB adapter as a power source.

We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
It depends on the model and pump type. The product details provided give an inflation time of around three to four minutes for several models with integrated electric pumps. The USB pump for the Prestige Queen model is listed as taking around seven minutes. A hand or foot pump may take longer, depending on the person using it and the desired firmness.
You can leave it inflated while you’re using it. For longer-term storage, however, it’s best to deflate, dry and fold it completely according to the instructions. Direct sunlight, high temperatures, sharp surfaces and sustained excess weight can put strain on the material and seams.
For camping, a model that doesn’t rely on mains electricity, such as one with a foot pump or USB pump, is an obvious choice. You should also consider its packed size, weight and suitable ground protection. If you regularly stay at campsites with electrical hook-ups, you could instead plan to use an electric pump with a 220 to 240 V supply.
