How to select the best air mattress?

What Is An Air Mattress?

As the name suggests, an air bed, also known as an air mattress, is a lightweight air-filled bed, usually made of fabric, rubber, or a specific type of polyurethane plastic, that can be used as a full-size functional bed when inflated.

You don’t need to exercise your lungs to inflate this baby, as it usually comes with a built-in pump that electrically pushes air in and out of the bed. Since you can compress it to a fraction of its full size, it can make sleeping easier due to its portability and comfort.

How to use an Air Mattress

The air bed is designed to be filled with air using the air bed pump when you want to use the bed. Here’s how to inflate an airbed:

With an electric pump – Although this method may seem simple, an electric pump requires batteries or electricity to fill the mattress. Quickly inflate your Airbed with the push of a switch button. However, electric pumps can be noisy, and many people don’t like to deal with the sound. However, there is a small price to pay for convenience.

With a built-in pump – Many air beds have built-in pumps. These are easy to use, usually simply removing the cap and pressing a button to inflate.

Without a pump – luckily, there are other options if you don’t want to burn the cash for a water pump. There are plenty of video guides available online on things like using a vacuum cleaner, a blow dryer, and even filling a mattress with garbage bags. However, these will take longer and more effort. Ingenious but you can crack the code.

What is the Average Lifespan of a Typical Airbed?

Simply put, the lifespan of a mattress is its ability to retain its structure and usability, without any deliberate external factors and maintain its original comfort and support. Generally, airbeds have the most extended longevity between 8 – 9 years. Since an Airbed in the guest room isn’t heavily used, it can last way longer than the bed you sleep in every night.

Pros

  • Portability – Airbeds were first known for its size and portability. Since its light, the Airbed can be brought quickly to camping sites. It can also be folded and placed in a small container.
  • Good Insulation– Air mattresses aids with a good night’s sleep while outdoors. Since air beds are made of vinyl or rubber, it can keep you warm on cold nights and help you sleep easy.
  • Adjustable Firmness– One of the main benefits of an airbed is its changeable firmness. With that, you can inflate or deflate the amount of air to achieve the rigidity that you like versus the standard bed.
  • Lower Cost– Airbeds are growing to be a popular choice, encouraging companies to reduce their cost.. With higher competition from different types of mattresses, you can find an airbed at really affordable prices.

Cons

  • Lengthy Assembly – To assemble an extensive and fixed use of the inflatable mattresses, it can take about 30 to 60 minutes and may need two people.
  • Noisy Pump – Many airbed owners complain about noisy pumps, but typically they are only found in budget brands.
  • Replacing Pumps– Due to the physical design and dependency with price or warranty, you would need to fix your pump if it is defective.
  • Shorter Warranty – Warranties are usually shorter than latex or innerspring warranties, so if a defect occurs in the inflatable bed structure or pump, you may have to pay for it.
