The PremAire II is Intex's most feature-heavy queen. The redesigned pump panel adds a firmness control dial and a USB port, plus storage for the cord and small items, which makes setup repeatable and gives a guest somewhere to charge a phone. The side walls and bottom are heavy duty 2-ply laminate that Intex says retains air firmly, and the velvety top sits over Fiber-Tech support. The 110 to 120V internal pump inflates the 60 by 80 by 18 inch bed in about 4.5 minutes, the weight capacity is 600 lb, and a 2-in-1 valve lets you use a manual pump outdoors. That last point makes it the most flexible AC bed here. The price is the problem: $189.99 on Intex's store when we checked, more than the Dream Series and nearly three times the Control Comfort.
