Air Mattress Choosing Tips

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

What are the features to consider in an air mattress? Here is a guide to help you choose the best air mattress to buy:

Fabric - the quality of the fabric is decided by the aim of use and maintenance of the mattress to increase the life of the mattress. It is vital that the fabric used is flexible and long lasting. The quality of the fabric is the deciding factor of the dependability and life span of your mattress.

Comfort and Support - the design of the mattress decides the comfort and support level it offers. E.g., it is essential to check if the mattress has a mattress pad for extra cushioning and protection, one touch control for simple adjustment and a q-coil design to ensure that the air mattress does not sag or bow.

Inflation Method - there are many methods of inflating an air mattress. One is to fill in air with your own lungpower and another is to use a one-way inflation valve. A one-way inflation valve has a flap to catch air in the mattress as air is filled into it. It is obviously sensible to buy a mattress with an inflation valve, since it will be far lesser trouble. However, the best option is the air mattress with a manual or electric air pump to ease the inflation further.

Build and Durability - Many people consider the quality of the plastic used in that though the plastic used may look thin but is undoubtedly strong. The actual reason to worry should be the quality of the welds that hold the mattress together. The welds of a good quality mattress are less likely to give up along the seam lines on prolonged or rough use.

Storage – deflate air mattresses to lighten them in order to store easily
