Bottom Line

Bed height is often a concern with sleepers, and this airbed is the tallest on our shortlist. We love the stability and the fast deflation, too.

Pros

Generous 22" height from ground. Flocking holds sheets and other bedding in place. Built-in electric pump inflates quickly. Nylon carrying bag included. Dura-beam construction sturdy enough for larger adult users.

Cons

Pillow and mattress are separate sections and therefore difficult to patch. Air loss without a load reported.
