Features of internal structures

The type of internal system is one of the most important parameters that you should pay attention to when choosing a bed:
- I-Beam is the simplest design formed by vinyl longitudinal partitions. Air ducts are located in parallel. The front side of the bed has a wavy surface. Thanks to the use of perforated partitions, a more advanced Wave-Beam system appeared (products became lighter and more durable);
- Comfort-Top Construction - the bed structure is formed by two chambers with the same perforated partitions. The lower one serves as the base and controls the shape of the furniture, and the upper chamber acts as a mattress and provides rigidity, comfortable for sleeping;
- Air-flow Construction - a feature of the product is the location of the partitions of the lower and upper chambers in different directions. The chambers are not isolated and air circulates between them freely;
- Dura-Beam has special internal partitions. They are manufactured using Fiber-Tech technology from special polyester fibers with increased strength. Therefore, the Intex air bed of this series has a long service life.

When choosing a bed, you can not ignore the devices necessary for pumping the product. Intex offers models with integrated / external pumps:
- If you intend to use the bed only at home (in the apartment, house), then you can choose Intex air beds with built-in pumps, powered by an electric network. Such models are easy to quickly inflate and deflate, it takes literally a few minutes. Due to its small size, the bed in a deflated form does not require special storage places;
- If the bed is purchased for frequent trips or regular trips to the country, out of town, then preference should be given to models without built-in pumps, since they are lightweight. For pumping, you can purchase a mechanical pump (manual, foot). Manual models are push-pull, so with their help inflatable furniture inflates faster. Electrical devices are powered by a cigarette lighter, battery or batteries.
The manufacturer does not recommend inflating the products very much. The best option is 75-80% of the maximum volume of the bed, otherwise the pumped-up beds may become deformed and fail more quickly. A lot of positive qualities of an air bed allows you to organize a comfortable, relaxing holiday almost anytime, anywhere.
