What Is an Air Mattress?
Every person sometimes needs to stay overnight at someone else's place or to provide a sleeping place for guests or relatives. It's easy if you own a mansion with lots of guest bedrooms. However, what if you house isn't big enough? Or else, what if you're living in a rented apartment? Such a casual yet difficult situation provides an easy way out - an inflatable air mattress! When stored, an air bed takes very little place and you can keep it in a closet, under your sofa, etc. An airbed is always at hand and if you need a sleeping place, just unfold it, connect to the mains, and switch the pump on - within a couple of minutes a bed will be ready. Also, inflated air mattresses can be used for sleeping on a regular basis if you like sleeping on extra-soft surfaces. Very often such air beds are more comfortable than conventional ones because of their orthopedic capabilities. People suffering from a backache certainly need to sleep on air mattresses in order to quell the pain and ensure an even backbone position. Finally, any pump air mattress is compact enough for transportation if you are going somewhere. For example, that's a perfect choice for campers as well as for people who often spend several days in a country bungalow.
If you drive a lot and need to sleep right in your car, peruse our review of the best car air beds and you will definitely find the right one for yourself. There's one more solution to find a space-saving sleeping place - trundles beds, so we recommend you to consider getting one of them, too.
What Features to Compare
Size and Type
The first thing you need to decide upon when choosing an air bed is its size. Blow-up mattresses are different in size and you should choose the one you need. For example, if you buy this item for your relatives or guests, you know perfectly well how tall they are, whereas if you need an airbed for kids, it can be much smaller. As usual, a comfortable pump air mattress is 74-78'' long, while the width of the bed may differ significantly. Let's say a few words about that. JR. TWIN air beds are usually around 30'' wide and these are single beds, i.e. for one person to sleep. One person with a normal weight feels perfectly well on this kind of bed. If a person is really tall and a bit plump, he or she should use a TWIN bed which has the width of about 39''. If you need a bed for two people to sleep on, JR. TWIN and TWIN will be too small. The minimum width for two sleepers is 55'' and this kind of bed is called DOUBLE. Double beds that are even wider are called QUEEN size beds and they are usually about 70'' wide. No need to mention, you can sleep in your favorite position on such a huge bed.
Design and Material
No need to say, pump air mattresses are made of different materials but the vast majority are made of PVC. This material has proven to be durable and firm. The top part of the air bed should be examined first hand. As usual, it's flocked or 'suede' that is very handy since customers don't want bedsheets to skid off while they are sleeping. Note that a flocked top is more water-resistant. Concerning the inner part of the air bed matters, the sections consist either of coils or of channel beams. The beds with channel beams might lose their shape in case of frequent use. The air mattresses with coils are sturdier and ensure a more even weight distribution. Also, there are airbeds with headrests, which can be used even without pillows. Some air mattresses have a combined design: they consist of 2 separate parts that you can fold out and get a really wide bed.
Convenience
Next, consider how convenient in use each air bed is. There are several ways to inflate an air mattress. Some models are equipped with built-in air pumps, which means you don't need any extra tools to blow them up. Other models come with no pumps and, therefore, require an external pump (either electric or mechanical). Moreover, the air beds with built-in pumps also differ: some of them can just inflate and deflate an air mattress whereas others can maintain the pressure level and pump the mattress up if necessary. If you are going to use a pump air mattress at home, you should choose the model with a built-in air pump. However, if you travel a lot or like camping, you'd better pick an airbed with no pump (and use a car air pump, for example). If the bed you are going to buy has a built-in pump, find out how fast it inflates the mattress. Waiting for too long will be rather annoying. Finally, don't forget to check the size of an air mattress in a folded position. This way you will know how much space it needs for storage and transportation.
