Air Mattresses
When you think of an air mattress you may instantly think of the old air mattresses of twenty years ago that are constantly leaking air, leaving you flat on the ground come morning, right? Well air mattresses have come along way since then. They have evolved into comfortable beds that allow you to be much more versatile than with a traditional mattress.
If you think that air mattresses are only good for camping, think again! There are many great ways to use air mattresses, and you don’t need to always hide them away in the basement.
1) Camping
Of course, air mattresses are the perfect choice for any camping trip. Whether you like to rough it in a tent, or prefer a bit more luxury of a trailer, air mattresses are the perfect way to spend the night. You can easily pump up an air mattress in a few minutes with a foot pump, or you can go hi tech and use a battery operated pump to inflate your mattress in seconds. There are also pumps that will plug into the lighter of your car for quick inflation as well. If you don’t like to be too close to the ground when you are in your tent, you can find double decker mattresses that lift you up like a real bed giving you a very comfortable sleep under the stars.
2) Over night Guests
Air mattresses make the most convenient guest beds because there is no longer any need to devote an entire room to a guest bedroom. Now you can simply pull the air mattress out of the closet and inflate it in seconds to create a comfortable guest bed. If you would like to create the illusion of a real bed, you can find the aerobeds which have actual bed frames. The entire bed folds up into a bag that can be wheeled into a closet for easy storage, however it sets up in seconds. The height of the bed is that of a regular bed, and once you make up the bed with sheets and a quilt it looks just like a normal bed giving your guests a comfortable place to stay.
3) Dorm Rooms
Air mattresses are a great choice for people who need to furnish a college dorm room or first apartment. Typically, an air mattress is much cheaper than a standard mattress and for the limited time that you will be living in your dorm room; it is likely a much more practical choice. You can adjust an air mattress for any comfort level and it can be just as comfortable as any regular mattress.
4) Fun
If you have kids, air mattresses can be a lot of fun! Pull out an air mattress during a sleep over and the kids can all cram onto it for a fun night. Or pull it up in front of the TV and let them lay down for movie night on a comfy air bed.
Air bed mattresses have come along way from the days of leaky, uncomfortable beds. They are good for all types of uses so the next time you think you need a bed; make sure you think of an air mattress first.
