Air Mattress review

The other day I was thinking about having a spare air bed for my friends whenever they come over. So I searched some online.

You could get the instant Bed-in-a-Box, which goes for about $250 but looks very sturdy and easy to take care of. (via coolest-gadgets)

Or you can get a cheap air mattress from Wal-mart for around $40. Ebay has some nice ones too for really cheap if you are into it.

Viltalityweb has some nice ones especially made for people with back problems so this might be good if your friends have back problems.

Of course, you can probably get a Sleep Number bed but that wouldn’t be just a spare air bed, probably more for your own. (Maybe you can use the new one and use your old stinky mattress for your guest room, if you have one that is…)

It seems like there a new high class luxury air mattress company popping up these days.

Please leave your thoughts on any good or bad air mattress experience!  :)

    Air beds are always hit or miss. I purchased a cheap-o camping air bed to use as a regular bed since I move a bit here and there, and I like to stay portable. It was an Ozark Trail Queen size with a raised pillow section for your head. It inflated ok, no problems there. However sleeping on it is another story. It has these bumps in the surface from the support beams, and that makes it very lumpy to sleep on. That wouldn't be so bad, but the raised pillow area makes it difficult to sleep on your side or stomach without severe kinking of the neck/back. The raised pillow section is also a joke, since putting your head directly on it is like laying your head on a brick. It's probably because I have the bed inflated to pretty firm levels, but I had to in order to keep from flopping around on it. I do admit that you don't sink directly to the middle of it like you do with other air beds. However, like most inexpensive air beds, it takes on the ambient temp of the room (or outdoors if camping). I woke up freezing my butt off on this thing since my roommate likes to keep the AC cold during the summer. It was very uncomfortable, because if you layer on top covers, your top gets hot, but you can still feel the piercing cold seep through the mattress into you from the bottom. After doing some googling, it turns out that that might be remedied by adding a 2" mattress pad. What a pain in the butt. I'm a bit disconcerted after reading some reviews online, too, since they say these types of beds usually develop leaks very quickly (sometimes in as little as a week of use or less). I'm planning on taking this one back, since the way it's built is fundamentally uncomfortable to me, and exchanging it for a flat-top air bed that's a bit more expensive, but is made more for home use. I'll try that out, along with a mattress pad and see how it does. I think air beds can really be great for folks with a portable lifestyle (no lugging around a mattres/box spring ... and no listening to a box spring squeak when you turn over, waking you up). It's just that there's always the risk of them being cold & leaking.
