Elevated Airbed

I had a very bad experience with my King Koil Bed but when I contacted them, they went way out of their way to make me happy. They sent me a brand new bed in no time at all. I didn’t have to go the trouble of sending the old leaky one back either. They were super apologetic and after a year of replacement they called me to see how my bed is. I used it a few times since the trail ride and it was just fine. I used it for guests to sleep on. There were no complaints. I will be doing the same trail ride again at the end of the month. I am pretty sure that I won’t have the same problems as what I had last year. I would recommend King Koil for their super customer service. The beds are very very comfortable and if there is a problem contact them and they will most definitely take care of ur complaints pronto. I am thinking that the customer service is more important than the product. So if ur looking for a very comfy air bed that’s easy to climb in and out of, give them a try. I highly recommend King Koil. They treated me like roayalty. This had to be the worst purchase that I have ever made through Amazon. I am so disappointed. I replaced a queen size airbed to use in my tent when I went on my over night trail rides. My queen size was excellent but it took up too much room so I was delighted when this thing was delivered. I did everything that the instructions told me to do, I filled it, which was super slick. I left it up for a couple of days like they suggested so it could stretch. They said that it would go a bit soft, which it did. I did not lay on it at all, just left it and then deflated it and packed it away for my week long trail ride and camp out. I packed it in my vehicle and was super excited to get it out of the bag and filled it up while in my tent. I used an extension cord and my inverter. It filled beautifully. I put a foam pad and a huge and thick comforter under it because of previous experiences with airbeds in tents. The air in the bed gets extremely cold if you don't put it on top of something to insulate it against the cold ground. I put a queen size fitted sheet on it and then my feather down sleeping bag covering myself with a feather comforter. It was so comfortable, until the morning. It had gone very soft. No problem, the instructions said that this might happen. I accepted it. As the week wore on, this bed got worse and worse. I had to fill it twice, once in the day and then before I went to bed, it was still very very soft in the morning. I wasn't getting any sleep at all and I was extremely stiff from the way that it had me encapsulated. I felt like a sausage in a bun. The very last night and the 6th night of my ride, was just the worst. I hadn't been able to sleep on this horrid thing, it was getting worse and worse. I needed my sleep (riding horses for 8 hours a day). Just before I went to bed, I filled it AGAIN.. it was firm and very comfy. At 3 am, my feet were way up in the air and my head was on the ground. It had lost pretty much all of its air. I was in tears, I gathered up all of my blankets and went to my SUV to see if I could get some sleep. No good, it was totally against the reason I am in a tent. It was so uncomfortable, andI need to see and hear the horses through the night. Back to the tent I went, pushed the totally deflated KING KOIL MATTRESS to the side and slept on top of the foam and comforters. I finally got some sleep. I am so frustrated!!! I want my money back and I never want to see this thing again.. I did my research.. this was supposed to be just awesome.. well, its total junk and I am now going to contact the company.. If I could give it no stars, I would.. I am so tired.. and my vacation/trail ride was ruined

July 21, 2019 OK, So, I am writing another review on top of my first review for this company and this bed because I can't figure out how to write a second review for the same product. (Or if it's possible to do so.). This company is one in a million! It's not a great time to be a consumer, in this world, however, the people at King Koil (Patrick) have proved me wrong and have gone far beyond what anyone would expect from an air mattress company!! They replaced my bed - TWICE!! If you have ever gone to Target or Walmart and bought an air mattress for yourself, please take note of how the manufacturer has shielded themselves from any returns, whatsoever! (One particular, well known, Canadian company comes to my mind - no problem for them to take your money and run!) It's very hard, for some reason, for air mattress companies to stand behind their product. King Koil however, makes it clear that your satisfaction, as a customer, is VERY important to them. Your review of their product and your "word of mouth" makes a difference to them. They feel confident about their product and if you are unsatisfied with it, in any way, they want to make it right with you. I'd have to search Amazon at long time to come across a review that tells the world that they would be foolish to purchase a similar product from any other company in the WORLD! BTW, this review should have been written a few months ago. I apologize for the delay (I've been a little busy). Thank you to King Koil for standing by your product and replacing my purchase twice. I appreciate your commitment to customer satisfaction, your speedy emails back to me (Patrick) and for making the replacement effortless. I'm very sorry for not getting this review up sooner as I don't want to diminish my appreciation. You guys are great and my mattress is unbelievable comfortable!! Thank you!!!!!! I cannot tell explain how happy I am with the customer service for this company. Before that though, let me mention that the bed is beautiful and I love the self inflate feature that allows you to just plug it in, turn a dial and it inflates immediately. No pulling out a separate item that has to be purchased, plugging it in, trying to reach the bed to blow it up, etc...... This is a no hassle inflating procedure. I had the bed about 9 months and it developed a slow leak. I figured I would need to purchase another but checked my receipt to see when I purchased it and noticed that it had a year long guarantee. I contacted the company, through Amazon and within 5 minutes I got an email back stating that my bed was under guarantee and they would send me a replacement. They wanted a picture of the "damage". After a couple days, I checked the bed and could not find where the leak was coming from. I wrote another email back to them and again - 5 minutes later received a reply stating "no problem, we will rush you a replacement.”- “No need to send back the damaged bed!” What a relief to not have to deal with repacking the damaged bed and mailing it back to them. Within 2 days - I received a replacement. What a breeze!!! This was top-notch customer service! After dealing with a competitor of King Koil’s a few years back, I cannot explain how impressed I was by King Koil's customer service and how quickly they stood by their product. A few years ago, after purchasing an air bed from a competitor, I noticed that mold had developed on the top of the mattress. I sent a picture to the manufacturer and they sent me a replacement. Several months later, I took the bed out to use and after blowing it up, I discovered that they had sent me a cheaper, low end bed that was substantially smaller than the one I had originally purchased. When I called and emailed the manufacturer, they told me that my bed was now no longer covered under the warranty so they wouldn't do anything about it. I told them that THEY made an error (I don't really think it was an error). They would not stand by their product or their mistake. I believe they shipped me an inferior product replacement because that is how they do business. They also make it clear, in writing, all over the box and on literature inside the box, that it will not be easy to return this product. I will never buy another product from that competitor's company and I make sure that I tell everyone I know not to buy from them. They are unprofessional, the quality is awful and the customer service is horrendous. I am so pleased with King Koil and the person that emailed me back several times to help me resolve my issue. More than once, Patrick wrote in his email that "we are here for you". Thank you, Patrick!!! It was a pleasure to work with you and I am very pleased with my purchase. I recommend the bed and the company very highly!!!! Best regards, Jill Mc

I bought this twin size King Koil luxury air mattress to use on our two week beach vacation. It far exceeded my expectations! It was super easy to set up and inflated in less than 90 seconds. It was a nice height, so it was easy for me to get in and out of bed. The mattress remained almost fully inflated the first night, and only needed a few seconds to inflate back to full (very normal, as I didn't inflate and let it stretch before vacation). It was easily adjusted to the perfect firmness or softness using the self inflation/deflation valves. I left it inflated for the whole two weeks. I slept more comfortably then I ever have away from home (I just am never able to sleep well in hotel beds, just too firm!) I used regular fitted sheets with really deep pockets which worked great. We just picked up the mattress fully inflated and popped it in an out of the way corner during the day. When it came time to go home, the auto deflation worked so well! The mattress fully deflated with zero air left in the mattress. I was stunned! I was able to fold it back up to its original size to put it away on it's super handy carry bag. I was so comfortable on this mattress, I could have lounged on it all day! Highly recommend!

Great mattress and very comfortable. It retains the air for 2 days at least. I love that it comes with a bag that you don't have to be particular about folding the mattress to fit the bag. It's nice and high off the floor. Seems like it will be durable for a few years of heavy use. The only complaint I have is that the pump is soooo incredibly loud.

2025 Update: we've now had this mattress 7 years. We use it every year 2 or 3 times for a few nights each time. We've never had a single issue with it. It still holds air and feels as supportive as day one. For what it's worth. Original 2018 review: (Haven't had this a long time, but I will update this as time goes on to add any longevity pros or cons as needed.) I find that typically air mattress manufacturers consistently over-state their mattresses' size. "Queen" is typically equal to a regular bed's Full/Double, and "King", if offered, is typically a regular bed's Queen, etc... Sizes are always a weak point with buying & using an air mattress, even good ones, so I will try to be as thorough with sizing as possible and not dwell on the stuff you already know and that most other reviewers have mentioned, like height, built-in pump, ease of use, etc, stuff that applies to any size King Koil and that you probably already know. (See my pics for actual shots of laying in it for perspective). I ordered King Koil's "California King" and I have to admit, it's actually close- it's more a blend of the dimensions of a regular King (76x80) and a California King *(72x84). *Yes, California Kings are 4" narrower than regular Kings, but 4" longer. KING KOIL CALIFORNIA KING MEASUREMENTS: OVERALL: 73"x86" by my best attempts to measure (round edges make it hard to get an exact when using a tape measure)... counting outside the top edges only, not any extra side bulges. So, this is NOT counting how much room you'd need in a tent necessarily. This is fully inflated with no weight on it. Expect some minor increased width requirements when actually sleeping on it. USABLE SPACE: 63x80" counting the pillow end. MORE DETAIL: ~63" wide, x ~80" length counting the pillow edge to inside the foot edging, or about 70" length inside the pillow & foot edges. (In the pic of my legs, I am laying my head inside the pillow end, and I still have plenty of room with no danger of my feet poking out the end. I am 5'8" tall. MY IMPRESSIONS: Even only counting the usable space, the size of this one is still acceptable to me, since this places it with still 3" more usable sleeping width than a regular bed's true Queen mattress. Score! The "Queen" sized air mattresses offered by KK and most other manufacturers, being smaller than a real Queen bed, don't allow for very comfortable 2-person sleeping, unless you can deal with the always-touching, 'snuggling' kind of partnered sleeping. While there's a time for that, for my wife & I it's not all night while catching some Zs camping. INITIAL SETUP: OK I said I wouldn't dwell on this, but I'll touch on it- The pump inflated this King sizer in somewhere between 4-5 minutes, and it sounds like a quieter-than-most vacuum cleaner running. It has power-deflate, which is a nice perk that many built-in pump mattresses do not have. When fully inflated the first time, I gently got on. Not sure if you're not supposed to or what (the manual has NOTHING about initial care & break in), but I did to listen for leaks. No leaks, yay! Spent about 2 minutes on it, then got off to let it stretch. I let it sit undisturbed for 4 hrs. Then I laid back down on it. It felt full- great support! After I got off it I realized it had lost some air, the sides were quite squishy. I topped her off for several seconds until full again. The great thing about knowing this is that even when it loses some air it still feels great, supportive. No sag. Obviously there's a point where it will sag if it's low enough, but even when needing a minor top-off it feels great! COMFORT: I find it comfy for what it is. Not "hard" but not overly squishy. All air mattresses will have some bounce when a partner moves beside you, so of course you should expect that going in. But this one does a good job at minimizing that compared to previous air beds form other makers I've used. The flocked top does nothing for comfort really, since it's not squishy, but it helps not be noisy when you roll around on it, creating that awful balloon-rubbing sound. And if you add a squishy memory foam topper under the sheet you'll be in great shape! CLOSING THOUGHTS: King Koil's "California King" air mattress is recommended for being a few inches wider than a regular Queen bed (and MUCH wider than ALL so-called "Queen" air mattresses!) and right about the size of a true California King all said & done. It's big, and great for 2 people who need their space. If you're using this for camping, make sure your tent has these dimensions and then some, or at least test it out in your tent at home before you head out! MY PICTURES: 1) The mattress with 2 standard pillows for perspective 2) My feet when laying with my head inside the pillow end. I'm 5'8" and there's plenty of legroom, even more if you use the pillow end. (Side note- these socks are great, I need to review those too!) 3) Me laying comfortably inside one edge. As you see I take up 3 runs of indentations (I'm 5'8, 200lbs). Another person my size would leave approx 12" space in between both people. Finally!

Buyer beware. This product contains noxious chemicals that are damaging to your health and will have lasting effects on the quality of your homes environment. I purchased this King Koil 16" queen air mattress as a means of having my parents stay over. I read that it is ideal to have it blown up and left out over a number of hours 1) So as to let the bed best maintain its shape and 2) to let it air out as it may come with an unpleasant scent. My unboxing started off with opening the well designed box in my living room, excited to test out my new air mattress. I took off the plastic wrapping, and then unfolded the bed. Suddenly an overpowering chemical odor filled my room. I felt the need to bring the bed into my office and close the door so that the odor wouldn't fill the whole house. At this point, I had a painful headache suddenly erupt. I opened both of my windows and turned on the fan. At first I figured the scent would be akin to the foam mattress I had purchased years ago, and that the scent would quickly dissipate. I proceeded to follow the instructions to plug in the mattress and let it inflate. What followed what could best be described as a compressor that was optimized for efficiency but did not even in the slightest consider user experience. The fan was extremely efficient and filled the bed within 2 minutes. However, it was an extremely high pitch whine that was painful to be next to. I had to leave the room. I realized at this point the odor had filled the house. I proceeded to open up all of my houses windows and turned on all of the fans. When I saw the bed was nearly full, I re-entered my office and turned off the compressor. I decided to follow the instructions and let it sit for 8-12 hours over night while I left one of the office's windows open and fan on. I turned off the fans and closed the windows to the rest of the house a few hours later before bed. My headache didn't go away that night. The next morning I woke up with an excruciating headache. The chemical odor was still extremely strong in my house. I opened all the windows and turned on all the fans again. When I opened the door to my office I was overpowered by the chemical smell, despite the fan and window being open all night. I immediately deflated the air mattress, being sure to close my office door behind me so as to contain the odor, and packed the mattress into its travel bag attempting to get rid of the odor. At this time, the mattress had a much fainter odor. The odor in the office, however, remained very powerful. I opened my second office window & let the office air out over the entire day. By the end of the day, after having all windows open and fans on, the odor was only faint in certain parts of the house but remained strong in my office. That night, with the odor still very strong in the office, I noticed that there was a fine layer of black particles covering many surfaces. Upon reflection, I inevitably inhaled whatever this was & it is likely what caused my headaches. I decided to sweep, dust, and deep clean the office. This significantly helped remove the odor - however, it was still present. I left the window open and fan on over night. The next morning I was no longer having headaches and the scent was no longer in any part of the house other than the office, where it was still noticeably present but no longer overwhelming. Unfortunately, I had to work in this environment. I left the windows open and fan on all day. It was at this point that I decided that I couldn't in good conscious have my parents sleep on this mattress. I set it up through Amazon to return it the next day. By the next morning the odor no longer was noticeable in my office. On the other hand, I am questioning what potential long term effects this experience could have on my body. The King Koil Air Mattress is made of PVC. PVC is made with a number of chemicals that are released throughout its lifespan. This includes chemicals such as Phthalates to help soften the PVC. According to the National Institute of Health "Phthalates are a series of widely used chemicals that demonstrate to be endocrine disruptors and are detrimental to human health. Phthalates can be found in most products that have contact with plastics during producing, packaging, or delivering. Despite the short half-lives in tissues, chronic exposure to phthalates will adversely influence the endocrine system and functioning of multiple organs, which has negative long-term impacts on the success of pregnancy, child growth and development, and reproductive systems in both young children and adolescents." Wang Y, Qian H. Phthalates and Their Impacts on Human Health. Healthcare (Basel). 2021 May 18;9(5):603. doi: 10.3390/healthcare9050603. PMID: 34069956; PMCID: PMC8157593. It is truly a crime against humanity that a product made of such hazardous material could be sold to people at all, let alone in the name of profit. It's extremely concerning that at the time of writing this was one of the highest rated mattresses on Amazon. On the other hand, there are other air mattresses out there that use thermal plastics (TPU), are Phthalate free, are the same price, and will inevitably be a much more worthwhile investment. Please take the time to seek these out rather than purchasing this mattress. Bottom line: For the health of yourself and your family - do not buy this mattress.

I have used many different brands of air mattresses, usually the budget type that have fallen short for one reason or another. After my last mattress developed a seam leak, I decided I was going to spend the extra money and get something of the highest quality. This King Koil mattress is the most comfortable air mattress I have ever used. I am sleeping much better because of the support from the air coils. You can just tell that this is higher quality than most, as soon as it is inflated. The pump is easy to use, powerful, and inflates the mattress quickly. I like how there are two knobs, one for inflation and one for deflation - which allows you to adjust the firmness precisely to your liking. The full size is perfect for one person; it gives you some room to move and takes up less space than a queen. I like the look of the black sides and tan top, though I am using sheets and blankets to cover it. It just speaks quality from every angle. I must say, when I received the first mattress, I was a bit disappointed because there was an issue with air leaking - there is always that chance with any air mattress; however, when I contacted customer service, they were quick to ship me a replacement mattress, and the second one is perfect - like the quality I expected. This is totally worth paying the extra money for the quality you get. Hands down the best air mattress I have ever owned.

As someone who’s hosted countless guests and ventured on numerous camping trips, I’ve had my fair share of experiences with air mattresses—some stellar, others forgettable. When I decided to try the King Koil Luxury Queen Size Air Mattress with Built-in High-Speed Pump, I was cautiously optimistic, given the mixed track record of air mattresses in general. After extensive use at home for guests and on the road for camping, I can confidently say this mattress has exceeded my expectations in comfort, stability, and versatility, setting a high bar compared to competitors like SoundAsleep, Intex, and Serta. Below, I’ll share my firsthand experience, diving into its design, performance, and how it stacks up against the competition, concluding with why it’s a worthy investment for anyone seeking a reliable, luxurious airbed. From the moment I unboxed the King Koil, I was impressed by its thoughtful design. The 20-inch height makes it feel like a real bed, which is a game-changer for both home and camping use. Getting in and out of bed is effortless, especially for older guests or those with mobility issues, unlike lower-profile options like the Intex Dura-Beam Plus (16.5 inches) or the Bestway Tritech (18 inches). The built-in high-speed pump is a standout feature, inflating the queen-size mattress in just under three minutes—faster than the SoundAsleep Dream Series, which takes about four minutes. Deflation is equally quick, and the included nylon storage bag makes packing a breeze, though at around 19 pounds, it’s slightly heavier than the SoundAsleep (18.9 pounds). The flocked velvety top is soft and grippy, ensuring sheets stay in place without the plasticky feel of cheaper models like some Intex offerings. Unlike the Serta Raised Air Mattress with its dual-pump system, the King Koil’s single pump is simpler but doesn’t compromise on maintaining firmness overnight.

Unlike the Serta Raised Air Mattress with its dual-pump system, the King Koil’s single pump is simpler but doesn’t compromise on maintaining firmness overnight. Side sleepers, like my sister, found the pressure relief at the shoulders and hips exceptional, while back sleepers, including myself, appreciated the medium firmness that kept my spine aligned. This versatility makes it suitable for all sleep positions, unlike the SoundAsleep, which some testers found too firm for side sleeping. Compared to the Insta-Bed Raised with NeverFlat Pump, the King Koil feels less bouncy and more stable, thanks to its coil-beam construction, which prevents the dreaded “roll-off-the-edge” sensation I’ve experienced with flimsier models. Even when sharing the bed with my partner, motion transfer was minimal, a feat not all competitors achieve.On the road, the King Koil’s durability and portability make it a reliable companion. I’ve used it for camping in various conditions, from rocky terrains to humid nights, and its puncture-resistant PVC and waterproof flocked top held up admirably. Unlike a Chillsun model I tested that deflated within six months, the King Koil showed no signs of wear after multiple uses. Its 600-pound weight capacity is higher than the SoundAsleep’s 500 pounds, comfortably accommodating two adults or a heavy sleeper like my friend who weighs >250 pounds. King Koil Luxury Queen Size Air Mattress is a standout choice for its exceptional comfort, stable design, and durability, whether used at home for guests or on camping adventures. Its 20-inch height, quick inflation, and supportive coil technology make it feel like a real bed.

Upon receipt, we tried to inflate the King Koil Twin Air Mattress with Built in Pump, but the internal pump starting smoking as it appeared the motor short circuited and would not inflate. We double checked the wall plug and the wall plug had no issues so it was clear the King Koil was defective.

This was a horrendous experience, it never worked, the pump blew up, the quality was so pathetic, had to throw it away without even using it once. Very disappointing for such a price!

Using this at an elderly persons home for nights I need to stay over. It’s perfect for that because set up is quick and easy and because I ordered the single it doesn’t take up much room in her small condo. It comes with a bag to store it and folds up to less than a child’s sleeping bag size so can easily be stored in a closet. You can adjust the “hardness” a little by adding more air or letting a little out. I do use a fluffy blanket on top of the bed before the sheet so didn’t notice any “cold” or rubbery feeling. It smelt a bit like vinyl upon opening but after leaving it one day on the patio and it was fine. Moves easily when blown up so if electrical outlet is a distance away it’s no issue as you can easily slide it on the floor to where you want it. Used it several times and so far it hasn’t lost any air overnight except for the very first time which the instructions indicated it might. It was only minor even then. I found it much more comfortable than sleeping on a couch. I’m tall but under 125 pounds so if you are heavier it might be different experience?I have a high end quality mattress at home so I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable this is. It’s not like the camping mattresses it is better than those. I would recommend this.
