Coleman GuestRest Elite Pillow Top Double High Queen Airbed review

Coleman is one of if not THE oldest company we've ever written about. It was founded by W.C. Coleman back in 1900 and it began its story as a seller of gasoline pressure lamps.



They're currently owned by Newell Brands with corporate headquarters in Wichita and additional facilities in Texas. This was a result of a very intricate and convoluted corporate process, which started back in 1998 when Sunbeam Corporation acquired Coleman Powermate and Coleman Company Inc.



Sunbeam Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2002 and changed its name to American Household Inc. once it sprang back on its feet. Jarden acquired them (and Coleman) in 2005, which, in turn, was acquired by Newell Rubbermaid (now, Newell Brands) in 2016. This is where we're at right now.



Whether the company managed to keep its renowned quality during all these acquisitions and corporate takeovers, we'll see in this dedicated Coleman SupportRest review.

The specifics of the Coleman GuestRest Elite Pillow Top Double High Queen Airbed



First of all, this Coleman features an AirTight system, which is factory-tested for potential leaks. This means that the material, seams and inner construction are all working together to provide a completely leak-free experience.



Double Lock valve features a dual-sealed construction with two lines of defense against air leaks. This is the security best option the inflatable furniture of today has to offer. This model comes with a built-in pump that can be operate via 4D batteries or 120V plug-in option. On top of that, is has an additional valve compatible with most of the electric/manual pumps on the market. This also makes it an ideal camping option when electricity is nowhere to be found.



It's one of the top Coleman models, along with the Coleman SupportRest Classic (designed for camping), Colemant Cot Queen airbed and Coleman Quickbed 4-in-1 - see the reviews below:











Comfort



This is where Coleman really shines



The construction of this bed is carefully designed to provide the optimal comfort to the sleeper. There's a lot ground to cover in this section, so let's begin.



The top of the mattress is covered with a washable, removable quilted layer to provide the look and feel of a regular bed. With regular beds, though, this top upholstery in usually glued or sewn onto the surface making it rather useless once it loses its shape and softness. Note the difference between "pillow top" and "PillowStop". Coleman really hasn't make things easier with these similarities. Pillow top signifies a construction with an extra layer of upholstery added for extra comfort. We understand and approve of it in a context of an air mattress. With regular beds, though, it seems like utter flashy nonsense.



PillowStop, on the other hand, means that the mattress features elevated sides in order to prevent your pillow from slipping off. Not a feature deserving of an actual name, in our opinion, but might as well explain the difference.



Furthermore, this model features a ComfortStrong coil system encompassing separate air pockets for better body support and comfort throughout the entire night.

SupportLock reinforced construction provides additional support and prevents motion transfer. If you had any experience with air mattresses, you'll notice a significantly increased stability of Coleman as you move around the surface.



Coleman SupportRest is designed to resemble a regular bed as much as possible and 18" of height is definitely a step in the right direction. It makes getting in and out of the bed significantly easier and provides an additional space between you and the ground when camping.



Durability & Longevity



This bed is primarily made for use indoors. It's designed to provide the feel of a traditional bed and keep you as comfortable as possible all night long. That being said, it's made of heavy-duty PVC and can definitely "take a beating" if needs be.



The additional quilted layer on top will prove to be an invaluable protection you have any curious pets with sharp claws.



The maximum supported weight is 600 lbs, which is an industry standard for these types of air beds. We've tested this Coleman mattress extensively and even left 700 lbs in weights on the surface overnight, only to find it didn't lose any air whatsoever. So, technically it can support even more than the prescribed weight, but we wouldn't push it too far.



Coleman is well-known for their sturdy constructions, high-quality seams and durable materials. With that in mind, you can rest assured that you won't be needing a new inflatable mattress anytime soon.



On top of all, they offer a full 1-year guarantee for this model, which says enough about their faith in their product.



Is it worth the money?



Based on all of the tests conducted by our featured testers and in-house personnel, we have to say that this Coleman model is definitely worth every penny. We have a bit of a caveat to it, though. If you're looking for a dedicated camping mattress, this might not be the best choice. It'll get the job done, sure, but that's not what it's designed for.



This inflatable mattress is made to mimic the feel and look of a regular bed. It's created with comfort in mind, but also has an impressive score in our durability category. This doesn't mean that it can handle anything that, let's say, Fox can. It's not made to deal with sharp rocks, pointy branches, tree stumps, gravel and other factors commonly found while camping.



So, of you want a full-time inflatable bed to be used at home, this is one of the best bets on the market. If you're more into camping, however, it can perform from time to time, but it'll suffer from prolonged exposure to the grand outdoors.
