Those who are headed outdoors should opt for a battery-powered pump, as this ensures the air mattress can be filled even when an electrical outlet is not available. We also use specialized tools to measure performance criteria like pressure relief, heat retention, and motion isolation. BUILT-IN ELECTRIC PUMP: Fast inflation in minutes with the convenient integral built-in electric pump. If outdoors, there may be sticks or sharp rocks that could puncture the mattress and should be removed. Our Airmax pet bed features an innovative mesh fabric that lets air travel through the cushion to help stop your four-legged friend from overheating.

Air Retention: Ideally, users will fill an air mattress to their preferred firmness level and have it be maintained throughout the night. Although the mattress is a bit too heavy and bulky for deep backwoods excursions, it’s ideal for car camping and short hikes. A high-quality air mattress, like the ones we include in this comprehensive review, should provide ample support and comfort throughout the night. The base produces friction, preventing the mattress from slipping — even if your tent floor is somewhat slick.An air mattress can be inflated in any other room in the house and used while remodeling is taking place. However, it suits a variety of uses that are often centered around scenarios in which a normal mattress cannot or should not be used. An air mattress can also be used indoors as guest accommodations or as a temporary bed for those who have moved or are waiting for a new mattress to arrive. There are additional considerations to keep in mind to protect the air mattress and extend its lifespan.

COSY COMFORT: The airbed is soft to touch with a flocked top for a cosy night's sleep under the stars.

An airbed may have more than one air chamber so that each side of the mattress can be individually adjusted. The firmness of the mattress can be adjusted by inflating or deflating it to the user’s comfort preference. Those placing the air mattress in one room in the house, such as the guest bedroom, will find this is less of a concern as the air mattress stays put. Some air mattresses may sacrifice comfort features for a lightweight and ultra-portable construction that is better for backpacking and hiking.
