Best Air Mattresses

Camping gear or having guests over leads to the need for comfort.  Often times we don’t have enough space in our homes for a regular sized bed for guests, especially if we only have on bedroom.  This means that we need to have something that will provide a comfortable surface for our guests, but not take up the entire living room area.  Air mattresses have been designed for camping in mind; however there are a lot of people, including myself who has used them for sleeping on at home.  Regular beds can be so expensive that finding cheaper alternative, which is just as comfortable is a useful option.  When trying to decide what the best air mattress available is you have to look at the options available. 

A camping air mattress should be the size you need to fit in the tent and make you comfortable.  You also want to be able to inflate the air mattress with ease.  There are several accessories you can have with your air mattress that will make it more comfortable including Coleman air pumps, sofa beds with air mattress, and cots.  The cots will allow you to place an air mattress on top of the cot to provide a more comfortable sleeping spot.  You won’t have to roll up from the ground, but stand up when you use a cot. 

The sofa beds with air mattress provide the best combination when you are looking for the best air mattress.  You will be able to have two beds in one as well as a couch.  These style beds are a five piece air mattress.  You have either two twin or two queen mattresses that are zippered together.  This air bed air mattress allows you to take the beds apart and have two sleeping areas or one jumbo king.  When the mattresses are zippered together you can fold one on top of the other to create the sofa.  One of the beds will have a fold out cushion and two cup holders built in to the material.  You will also find a dual valve system that allows for the air to go in two different areas for more comfort.  The only downside to this bed is that it is not self inflating.  The bed does not come with a built in air pump, which means you have to buy the air pump accessory.

The price on these air beds is usually around $50 to $80 depending on the size.  An air pump will be around $30 for the ones that use batteries or a 12V connection.  The savings with an air bed when you are using it for guests or two camping trips a year is more than worth the expense.  To find the best air mattress you have to know what you like and your budget.  You can find great air mattresses for around $30 or $40 that have built in air pumps.  These air mattresses are typically the standard style with about eight inches of mattress rather than an actual bed that will be off the ground.
