Intex Inflatable Loveseat Review [Pros + Cons]

Are you looking for an inflatable sofa that costs less than $50? Check out this inflatable loveseat from Intex…

Intex Inflatable Loveseat can Fit 2 People Comfortably

Note: Normally, I’d assume that the company uses small people in the photo to make the furniture appear larger. However, this loveseat measures 75″ long! That makes your average loveseat look small, not to mention it’s longer than many futon sleepers.

How to Use the Inflatable Loveseat:

Whether you need comfortable patio furniture, extra seating for guests or a cheap sofa for the kids’ room, this loveseat makes a great option. In addition to fitting multiple people at once, you can use it as a lounger or even take a nap in it. It’s very versatile to say the least.

On top of that, this sofa can hold up to 600 lbs in weight! You can almost treat it like a regular sofa, except you can move it easily by yourself because it weighs less than 10 lbs.

Intex Inflatable Loveseat Dimensions and Features

As you can see from the shape, the armrests don’t sit very high. You may or may not like this. For example, these lower armrests actually work well for lounging or resting your head (compared to other inflatable sofas). On the other hand, if you prefer higher armrests where you can elevate your arms while sitting down, you may not find this design as comfortable.

This Low Maintenance Sofa is Easy to Clean,
Plus You Can Stick it in a Closet.

Another wonderful feature that I like about inflatable furniture is that the pieces are easy to clean. In most cases, you can simply spray spots and spills with soap and water and wipe away any dirt. Heck, if you use it outdoors, you can even hose it down!

Inflatable sofas, of course, can deflate and store compactly. This characteristic also makes them convenient to travel with. Think camping, day trips, friends’ houses, etc…

Using the Inflatable Loveseat Outdoors…

And don’t worry. Intex has designed this inflatable loveseat with outdoor use in mind. The base of the sofa has a durable 2-ply reinforced bottom.

Actually, Intex designed this inflatable sofa for camping. In fact, it has a compartment in the base that you can fill with water to weigh it down. (Just FYI, in case you’re going on a camping trip soon…)

Plus, don’t forget those awesome cup holders!

What’s Wrong with this Loveseat?

The only thing that this sofa doesn’t have going for it is that you can’t convert it into a double bed. Go here for an inflatable sofa bed.

5-in-1 Coleman Quickbed Hide-a-Sofa: Good or Not?

Coleman Hide-a-BedIf you are looking for an air mattress that has a little more versatility than the traditional inflatable bed, check this out. It’s the Quickbed Air Bed “Hide-a-Sofa” from Coleman.

At first look, you might think it’s some sort of inflatable sofa. However, I think it’s primarily designed to be a twin bed – but with extra “benefits”.

Who Is the Hide-a-Sofa For?

I think this inflatable is ideal for people who need an inflatable mattress that they can use for a bunch of different things – not just hosting the occasional overnight guest.

What Does the Coleman Quickbed/Sofa Do?

This double-high twin mattress can easily come apart into 2 separate twin beds. So, if you have 2 different guests at the same time, you’re all set – even if they want to sleep in separate rooms.

Or, keep the 2 mattresses attached to form a king-sized sleeper. It can comfortably fit 2 people, and you didn’t even have to get an extra air bed.

But what if it’s not bedtime, or you don’t have any guests over? The quickbed “quickly” transforms into a cushioned sofa that can be used in a den, outside on a patio, etc.

And don’t forget that air beds are great travelers! They enjoy camping, beach trips, soccer games, parks and more.

The way I look at it, if you are going to spend the money to invest in an air mattress, why not get the most bang for your buck and get something you can use more often – to do more activities. Right?

Cup Holders?

Oh, and did you notice the 2 built-in cup holders? Now who doesn’t like a sofa with a place to set your drink? Now there’s no need for a table, so Coleman has saved us even more money by not having to go out any buy that extra piece of furniture.

What I Think About Coleman Inflatable Furniture:

If I haven’t already told you, I’m a big fan of Coleman. They make high quality products that last a long time and won’t cost you a fortune. They simply work and keep working.

I own lots of their products, including air mattresses, which all have the Double Lock Valve that makes inflation and deflation easy. The extra sturdy PVC material that they use seems to hold up to anything. (One air mattress I’ve had for over 10 years, no kidding!)

This Hide-a-Sofa has the same construction, just like any other Coleman inflatable couch or sofa you might buy. It also has inner structural coils (to hold its shape better). The Quickbed supports up to 600 lbs, and you can use standard fitted sheets on it (another added convenience!).

You Need to Get a Pump for the Coleman Quickbed

That’s right. This package does not come with an air pump, so you’ll need to buy one. That’s too bad, but the good news is that now you get to choose the type of air pump you want. Or maybe you already have one.

 

Bestway Multi Max Inflatable Air Couch: Good or Bad?

Bestway Multi Max Inflatable Sofa Bed

Why Do I Like the Bestway Multi-Max?

The Bestway Multi Max II is an easy-to-use inflatable couch that folds out into a bed. I like it because it is compact in size, so it fits well into small spaces.

The smaller size makes it faster to inflate, more convenient to travel with and easier to store when not in use.

Additionally, it comes with inflatable throw pillows that you can also for sleeping. If you are traveling, it means that you don’t have to pack pillows either.

Multi-Max Inflatable Sofa Drink Holder in ArmrestFurthermore, the sofa features two handy drink holders in the arm rests. These are really great if you don’t have end tables (less furniture to buy, right!). Plus, they might even prevent spills.

The Multi-Max design features “I-Beam” construction, which makes it extra sturdy. On top of that, this fabrication method also gives the furniture a more rigid feel and makes it lighter in weight.

This sofa comes in a neutral grey color and has a flocked surface on all sides. This feature is nice if you prefer a “softer” look and don’t want a brightly-colored sofa in the room. It also takes the slipperiness out of the seat.

However, if you prefer a larger air mattress (or couch for that matter), you might prefer the Intex Queen-size Pull-Out Sofa Bed. The Multi-Max opens out to a full bed only.

Here is an Air Mattress Size Comparison:

Bestway Multi-Max Dimensions: 79″ long x 63″ wide x 25″ deep

Intex Queen Dimensions: 87″ long x 76″ wide x 26″ deep
