Our take
PPI-104 is a truck-bed-specific AirBedz Original for the full-size short-bed range listed at 5 ft 5 in–5 ft 8 in. Pittman describes a 12-inch mattress, rechargeable built-in pump, wheel-well cutouts, and a tailgate extension for this code. The extension uses a separate hand pump. Confirm the exact truck fit and package because the historical Amazon ASIN is not mapped to a current exact offer.
Compare it for a full-size 5.5–5.8 ft pickup bed when an integrated rechargeable pump and tailgate extension matter; verify truck year and bed geometry..
A standard bedroom Twin, Full, Queen or King need, a pickup outside the documented bed range, or a buyer who needs the extension inflated by the built-in pump.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- Pittman lists PPI-104 as eligible for the included tailgate extension.
- The Original mattress has wheel-well cutouts and a built-in rechargeable pump.
- The manufacturer lists a 12-inch thickness and up to 1,200 lb capacity.
What to weigh up
- The shape and short-bed range make it a vehicle-specific surface rather than a standard bedroom mattress.
- The extension requires a separate hand pump, even though the main mattress has a built-in pump.
- The historical ASIN has not been mapped to an exact current Amazon offer or vehicle fit.

What the features mean for you
The tailgate extension changes the usable length
Pittman's product page says the extension is included only for selected codes, including PPI-104. That is a meaningful package difference: the mattress is shaped for a truck box, and the added section is intended to extend the sleep surface over an open tailgate. The owner manual treats the extension as a separate inflatable piece that attaches to the main bed. Check that the code printed on the offer is PPI-104 and that the extension is actually in the package before relying on the extra length. The page does not provide a universal vehicle fit list for every model year.
Match the short-bed range to your truck
The manufacturer offers a full-size short-bed choice from 5 ft 5 in to 5 ft 8 in. This is a bed-length range, not a promise that one mattress fits every make, cab, wheel-well position, or model year within it. The side cutouts are designed to pass around the wheel wells, so width and wheel-well shape matter as well as length. Measure the usable truck box and compare it with the product selector and the exact vehicle information. Do not substitute the 6–6.8 ft standard-bed choice or a mid-size bed simply because the names sound close.
Separate the two pump jobs
Pittman describes a built-in rechargeable detachable pump that inflates and deflates the main 12-inch mattress. The PPI-104 manual separately says the included hand pump is for the tailgate extension. This distinction matters when planning setup: the primary truck-bed mattress does not require the hand pump, but the added extension does. The source does not establish how long a battery charge lasts in ordinary use, so this review does not promise a particular number of inflations. Charge and care for the battery according to the manual supplied with the exact bed.
Read the listed capacity as a limit
Pittman lists a maximum capacity of up to 1,200 pounds for the Original mattress family. That is the manufacturer's published limit, not an independent load test or a measure of comfort. It also does not mean the extension has a separately rated 1,200-pound capacity; the reviewed materials do not state a distinct extension limit. If load capacity is central to the decision, verify the code, current manual, and label on the exact product, then use the maker's instructions for occupancy and setup.
Plan around the truck-bed installation
The cutouts make use of space around the wheel wells, while optional wheel-well inserts can convert some AirBedz models for a flat tent or home setup. Pittman says those inserts are sold separately, so do not assume PPI-104 arrives as a flat household mattress. The owner manual warns users to remove sharp objects, use a flat surface, and keep the mattress away from water and moving vehicles. These instructions affect where it can be placed and how it should be handled. They also make this product a more specialized choice than a floor airbed.
Use the model search to verify the offer
The historical source row carries ASIN B08ZT185M6, but no reviewed source connects that identifier to a current PPI-104 Amazon offer. The link therefore searches for the exact model rather than claiming to open a verified listing. Compare the PPI-104 code, full-size short-bed option, included extension, rechargeable mattress pump, extension hand pump, and current manual before purchasing. No current price, stock, seller ranking, comfort result, or personal test is represented here. The product claims above come from Pittman's page and manual.
