Purchase Criteria: Factors to consider before purchasing an air mattress

Often we just want to leave the hectic city life and spend a few days in the countryside, camping outdoors. Or, when receiving visitors, you may want to accommodate your friends and family with more comfort than just offering a sofa.

However, choosing the perfect inflatable mattress for you can be somewhat complicated, after all with so many specifications, the process can be confusing if you do not count on help.

To assist you, carefully analyze the points we have selected below and chosen a model with a great cost-benefit ratio.

• Material
• Finishing
• Dimensions and weight supported
• Pump type
• Hygiene and cleaning

Observing all these factors that will be described in detail below, you will be able to make the best decision when you need to choose the ideal model to receive your visits or enjoy the time under the stars.

Material

Today most air mattresses are made of polyester or PVC, comfortable materials that offer great strength and durability.

In addition, due to their resistance, mattresses made of polyester or PVC can be stored and transported easily, since they will hardly suffer from the action of heat or be damaged without the action of a sharp object.

Finishing

The type of covering is a fundamental factor for comfort at the time of your sleep, after all, if you want to take your mattress to a camping trip, you certainly won’t have resources like varied sheets and pillows at hand.

There are two basic types of air mattress finishes: rubberized and velvety.

• Velvety: Ideal if you want more comfort and also avoid the risk of slipping or slipping while lying down. Models with velvety coating allow more grip and convenience.
• Rubberized: in this type of coverage, the feeling at bedtime is of a firmer and hotter mattress, something that can be uncomfortable, especially on hot days. However, they are cheaper options.

In both cases, as in traditional mattresses, it is possible to use sheets and pillows to have a little more comfort at bedtime.

Dimensions and weight supported

Whether in single or double models, it is ideal to check the product dimensions. Check, for example, the depth of the product, so that it is suitable for those who use the mattress, after all, you would not want to keep your feet off the mattress.

As for the height, it is noticed that taller models tend to be more comfortable, so check the maximum height that your mattress has to avoid getting too close to the floor, which can cause discomfort.

See also the width. If you are in the habit of moving around a lot at night, it is advisable to have a slightly wider model. Also, check the maximum weight supported to avoid accidents.

Pump type

You can use different types of pumps to inflate your air mattress. The most common models do not have internal pumps. In that case, you can use a hand pump, such as those used to inflate a bicycle tire, or use an external electric pump.

Some models of air mattresses offer internal pumps. You can pump them using your hands or your feet, allowing you to fill your air mattress without extra help.

It is also possible to find models that have models of electric pumps. Although they need to be connected to a battery or mains, you will have no effort and they are able to inflate the mattress more quickly.

Hygiene and cleaning

To keep your inflatable mattress free from germs and bacteria it is important to take some precautions regarding hygiene and cleaning to avoid risks to your health.

Before and after use, use a soft, damp cloth to clean the mattress. Unless it is very dirty, it is not necessary to use detergents or disinfectants.

When you need to store it, remember to never fold it while it is wet, as this can lead to the proliferation of fungi and bacteria. The ideal is to keep it in a cool environment and away from light.
