Wenzel Insta-Bed Queen Raised Sure Grip Bottom with Built-in Pump Review.
"No-nonsense air mattress w/ thoughtful features" 2008-01-19
By W. E. Chase (San Diego)
This bed is a step above the Aerobed. Unlike my previous 2 aerobeds, this mattress doesn't leak. None at all over an 8 day period of guests. Not even a slow leak. None! Pump is quick and the power deflate is a real time and space saver. Flocking on the mattress is also warmer than a cold plastic top. Can't believe how much less in price this was over the aerobeds-- a no-brainer!!!

Found this to be an excellent bed, pros are longer air retention (I sleep at least 5 days before needing to turn on the pump), uniform pressure distribution. I normally do not have any back problems and this bed did not introduce any new ones after about a couple of months of regular usage. Our guests loved it, the only con I can see is that the pump is so slow - takes a minimum of 4 minutes to fill the bed from flat and takes similar time to deflate. That is negligible compared with the pros, we recommend this product to anyone that is interested in an Air bed.
"Absolutely incredible" 2008-01-02

We wanted to get an air mattress for guests we were expecting. We have purchased them before and they were very disappointing. They were either uncomfortable or they wouldn't hold air for very long. Any amount of movement when lying on them, didn't help.
We decided to try Amazon.com. After reviewing the different air mattresses that they showed and discribed, we read the reviews that were given on those products. We decided on the Wenzel Insta-bed and we feel we absolutely made the right choice. It was easy to set up and take down. It's very very comfortable. Our guests enjoyed it so much, they wanted to pack it up and take it home with them. They said they were as comfortable as they are in their bed at home and slept great!
We are very pleased with our purchase and we recommend this product to everyone!
Thank you!!!!!!!

My daughter and I were moving and sold all our furniture before leaving. Our plan was to find a bed for each of us we could use indefinately... or until we were able to get our 'perfect bedroom suite'. These beds have been great and we have been sleeping on them for a month now. We have a 65 lb dog that runs and jumps on them and we've had absolutely NO problems with leaking or tearing. We got the matress cover recommended at purchase which helps protect it, I'm sure. We also got king size sheets w/ deep pockets for the queen size air bed because the fitted sheet stays on perfect in the larger size. Fantastic! and the built in pump works great for inflating or deflating. Absolutely love this bed!

I read reviews before making this purchase. I wanted to get it because it met all the things I wanted, and was willing to put up with slow inflation and deflation to get them. Well, I don't know why someone thinks it is slow unless they have only a couple of minutes to accomplish the task. We find the inflation/deflation times acceptable. It is a comfortable bed and looks good. We have not yet used it for guests but laying on it feels very nice. We got it for overflow situations so it will be used only on those occasions and I think it will be perfect. Our family has lots of arthritis and the height makes it quite good for getting into and out of bed.
