We’ve gone through our share of air mattresses. They last until the dogs get into the room and jump on them. Ok, so not even the best quality air mattress will hold up to two large mutts. But what of the comfort?

I can’t recall the names of Air Mattresses Past. The one we’re using now whilst Mother is in town is an Intex. I was very excited to find a queen size at EMS for like 80 bucks. Now I know why it was only $80. It sucks! Man, I’d rather be sleeping on the floor! In fact, last night I just moved on over to the couch.

If you fill it up too much, it’s really hard. Keep it a tad soft and you’ll be on the floor by morning. Oh, but that’s not all, folks! The “cushions” are so bumpy. My extremities actually fall asleep from this sucky mattress.

I’ve paid just under $200 for comfortable queen air mattresses that I was able to sleep on for extended lengths of time. I want to take a knife and slash this one.

Penny wise, pound foolish. An $80 Intex air mattress? Don’t do it.
