How to Choose the Right Air Mattress Bed?

An air mattress is a convenient way to have a guest bed ready in minutes while taking up minimal storage space when not in use. Whether you’re buying an air mattress for casual or regular use or a trip, you cannot just pick a random one. Here we’re presenting these and other factors elaborately, have a look:

1. Inflatable bed type
Air mattresses come in various sizes but can be categorized into three main types: double-height, self-inflating and convertible. The more comfort features an air mattress includes, the higher the price tag.

2. Inflatable bed Sizes
The second thing you have to consider is the size of the air mattress. You’ll find air mattresses from twin size to king-size. What will be the ideal mattress size for you completely depends on where you’ll use and why you’ll use it. 


Air bed dimensions differ as they come in different sizes and these sizes will determine where and how they can be used.

3. Material Quality
Quality Materials Increase Durability
Durable air mattresses tend to have a thicker layer of material on the exterior and bottom segments of the mattress.

 ·The rubber used in the manufacturing of these beds should tend to be a durable material, such as polyurethane or rubber, which is often a vulcanized material.
 ·Vulcanized materials are hardened and enable the mattress to last much longer than that of lesser materials.
 ·Rubber exteriors also allow for the mattress to be water resistance and sometimes waterproofed, as well as aid in additional puncture protection.

4. Air Mattress Pumps
When it’s about air mattresses, the pumping system is an essential thing you need to be concerned about. Getting a mattress with a built-in pump system is the first recommendation. You can get an air bed with a built-in foot or electric pump system. When you want to get an air mattress with self-inflating, pumping will make your inflating and deflating effortless.

5. Weight Support
If you are about to purchase an air mattress, you have to consider the weight support system. A good air bed should distribute your weight and provide you comfortable support. If you want to know how much weight an air mattress holds, it can be up to 300 lbs. Always check the weight support of an air bed before getting one.

6. Air Holding Ability
When you buy any regular mattress, there is no need to worry about whether the bed holds you up overnight or not. But when it’s about an air mattress, you must consider the air holding ability. The air will lift you from the ground, so the air-holding ability needs to be durable enough to withstand any challenging situation. When you are living or going camping in cold weather, you need to ensure the bed will hold air as much as possible.

7. Pet Considerations
You have to consider many things if you’re a pet lover and want to keep the pet with you while sleeping on an air bed. Most of the pets (cat and dog) have strong and sharp teeth and claws which can damage the mattress. So you have to choose an air bed made with a solid material which can withstand pets’ teeth and claws’ stuff. You’ll also find air mattresses specially made for pets with high-quality materials and a proper comfort system.

8. Warranty / Customer Service
Since most of the air mattresses are worth repairing, you also need to contemplate the warranty or customer service as well. Therefore, give your attention to the warranty and also the reputation for providing customer service. Although, you will not find a warranty facility in every air mattress. Most of the time the warranty facility is attached to mattresses that are high-priced.

9. Other Features and Price
You can get an air mattress with many additional features. You will find features like LED light at the bottom or edges, USB ports, and even a sensor. These features may not be essential to have on an air bed, but they can be useful, and they will cost you more than usual.
At last, an essential thing you have to consider while purchasing an air bed is the price. The ideal air bed price range should be $50 to over $450. However, getting an air bed based on your personal preferences would be the best option.
