Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start by saying that we own the Shrunks and I love it! We have also owned the Intex version. I have seen a lot of reviews asking about the difference between the Intex bed (which can be purchased at Walmart) and this one. Hope this review helps (I had similar questions) I purchased the Intex from Walmart first, because it was cheaper and I wasn't sold on the idea of paying nearly $60 for an inflatable bed for my 2-year-old. But the Intex bed is huge. A small adult could sleep in it. It does not fit well into small spaces (like in grandma's guest room between the bed and the wall). And an electric pump is a must, unless you want to spend 30 minutes pumping up your bed, which we did with the Intex. The Shrunks bed is smaller by about 10 inches across and it's longer (head to toe) and still roomy enough for a child. The Shrunks bed has an electric pump and it does really inflate in <1 minute (though the side rails inflate separately, so you can put a sheet on the mattress before inflating). It also has a deflate option which works well (as long as you use the nozzle tips that come with the pump). I had serious doubts that we would be able to deflate that bed and fold it back up small enough to get into the tiny storage bag provided, but we did and I was thrilled (see attached photo). This bed is great. I would advise letting it air out in an empty room or outside for a few days when you first purchase it to reduce the smell. Also, if you decide to try the Intex bed, it is not returnable to Walmart, so if-as with us - you decide it won't work, you're stuck with it.
