For a single guest, a twin leaves more floor space than a queen, and the Ultra Plush is the raised twin we would pick from Intex. It inflates to 39 by 75 by 18 inches, Intex quotes an approximate inflation time of 2.5 minutes from the internal pump, and the same pump deflates it for storage in the included carry bag. Inside, Fiber-Tech construction and horizontal beams with a unique edge construction are there for stability, under a velvety top that Intex says contours to the body. The weight limit is 300 lb. The catch is price: it was $99.99 on Intex's store when we checked, more than the $69.99 raised queens. If floor space is not the constraint, a queen is better value, but for a home office, a kid's room or a narrow nook it fits where a queen will not.
