Comfy Air Beds

An air bed, often called an air mattress, is inflatable, and is most often made from plastic or rubber. When they're deflated, the beds can be folded or rolled and stored away easily. This also makes them extremely portable, and great for temporary guest beds or camping trips where you want to sleep comfortably. You can inflate them yourself orally, though most people prefer to use an air pump as it is considerably faster and easier. There are also certain air beds that inflate themselves automatically when you open the valve.

There are also lighter, smaller air beds that are made with the intention of camping and backpacking, and they are often called sleeping pads (usually when they have a layer of foam insulation under the chamber of air). These air chambers that are of a higher quality are often constructed of vulcanized rubber and covered in canvas.

Air beds that are made to be permanent in the home will usually look very much like a conventional bed, but they are different in that they usually have 1 or 2 hoses leading off from the head of the bed and into the air chambers. An air inflator is connected to these hoses, and will almost always have a remote control so that people can adjust how firm their bed is.

Air beds come in most of the more widely recognized bed sizes, as can be seen here. The majority of air beds and mattresses are able to use standard bed sheets and comforters which can be easily found for purchase.
