Inflatable Mattress: What To Look For In An Inflatable Mattress
An inflatable mattress can be a very practical purpose, as well as an indulgence. There are two reasons to consider an inflatable mattress:
If you are an outdoor type, and you camp or own an RV, for instance, an inflatable mattress is quite practical because it is easily portable since it's lightweight and handily folds into a compact bundle.
Some folks need a spare bed in their home for guests and an inflatable mattress is perfect since it inflates easily but stores in a (relatively) tiny space.
Members of my family researched inflatable mattresses and narrowed their choices down to the Coleman brand Quickbed and the Aero brand Aerobed. Money isn't really a problem when considering either bed because these mattresses are so much cheaper than the normal coiled or foam mattress so almost anyone can buy one without straining their wallet too much.
When choosing an inflatable mattress here is what to look for:
1. Your mattress shouldn't need constant re-filling if you intend to leave it set up. Naturally, air is going to escape over time but it should be months, rather than days. The worst possible scenario is if a guest wakes up in the morning sleeping on the floor! Whoops. The really cheap, no-name mattresses are much more vulnerable to this problem.
2. It must be easily filled. I experimented with one mattress that was pumped by my foot mashing up and down in a particular spot. It was an inflatable mattress that I needed to buy for its exercise potential. That is, I was exhausted by the time it was only partially filled. Not good. Using a pump is much easier and more efficient, although cheaper pumps also work by quickly moving your foot up and down. That's just fine for my exercise ball, but a strain for a large mattress, particularly if you want a queen or king sized ones.
