The good news is that it definitely doesn’t have to be that way. Nowadays you can find sturdy air beds which will resist those unidentified spiky assassins and won’t leak in the twilight hours. In this review I’ll be looking at 4 of the most popular best air beds. Whether you need one for a camping trip or to accommodate extra guests in your home, hopefully you’ll find one that won’t let you down. Comfortable and durable auto-inflating mattress The SoundAsleep Dream Series air bed is my top pick, providing just the right combination of support, comfort and durability. The main plus is that it has a more extensive internal coil system than most other air beds. If you’re sleeping with a partner, it means you’ll both be comfortable without too much dipping in the middle. And not only is it self-inflating, but it’s also one of the best mattresses on the market when it comes to not losing air pressure during the night. Here are the key points to note:
The main downside is that those extra coils do increase the weight, which is something to bear in mind if you’re going to carry it on a camping trip. Overall, the SoundAsleep Dream Series is the best auto-inflating air mattress I’ve tried, earning top marks for quality, comfort and durability. The coils make it surprisingly comfortable to sleep on and it’s a great option for sharing with a partner. The Coleman Double High Support Rest is my recommended air mattress for camping. It takes top honors in the camping air bed category because of its sturdy design that can measure up to the harsh elements. Additionally, it has a reliable manual pump option for when you decide to truly rough it and leave creature comforts like electricity behind you. Here are the main points to consider: The only real downside is that you have to buy the pump separately. Though that does mean you can choose a good one rather than rely on the cheaper one that’s often thrown in for free with air beds.
Overall, the Coleman Double High Support Rest is a great air mattress for a night under the stars enjoying Mother Nature. You can pack it up and carry it easily, and with its sturdy design and easy inflation it’s a favorite of lovers of the great outdoors. An automatic top-up motor to prevent deflation In some ways a clone of the SoundAsleep Dream Series, the Insta-Bed comes with a little perk that not many air mattress can compete with. It takes the concept of auto-inflation to the next level with its ‘never flat pump system’. This is essentially a pressure monitor that continually checks the air inside, and tops it up if there’s a drop in air pressure. Not only does it prevent you from a rude awakening if the bed leaks overnight, but it also provides guarantees that the same pressure level you went to bed with is still there when you wake up the next morning. Here are the key features: My main criticism is that you have to choose one of three set pressure levels, rather than inflating it to the exact level you like.
So what the Insta-Bed delivers in originality and reliability, it loses in its rigid pressure settings. The guarantee of an air mattress not deflating is great, but if you can’t set it to the level you wanted in the first place, it’s a little underwhelming as a perk. It’s a solid choice, but if you’re fussy about the exact level of inflation, this might not be the one for you. The Intex Pillow Rest air bed is probably the best low-cost auto-inflating air mattress. What it lacks in amenities, it makes up for in affordability, height and convenience. Although for me, some of those convenience features actually take away from the mattress’s overall quality. The main downside is that the internal beams aren’t as extensive as the other air beds I’ve looked at, which can cause it to dip in the middle, especially with frequent use. Secondly, the raised pillow is more of a hassle than a convenience. Most people prefer to use a normal pillow even on an air bed, so the additional height may be uncomfortable.
There’s no deactivating the automatic pillow either. The Intex Pillow Rest makes sense if you’re on budget or if you’re only in need of an air mattress once in a while. The auto-inflation is a nice perk and the price is very reasonable. But if you’re a serious camper or going to use it for a long time, I’d probably stick with one of the previous air beds.You are using a web browser we don't support.

REI Co-op Camp Bed 3.5 Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad Reviews - page 2 Is there a way to tie two mattresses, side by side, they seam to move apart on the tent floor? The Therm-a-Rest Universal Couple Kit will be a good choice for mating two Camp Bed 3.5 pads. Does anybody know of a cover for this? I like to cover my airmat with a cotton sleep sack like people use when they stay at a youth hostel. I buy them at REI too. Is there a maximum weight limit for the 3.5" REI Camp Beds? I'm 245lbs. I've had no trouble with this mattress in regards to weight. I can't get this to deflate--what do I need to do? To deflate the Camp Bed 3.5, the best bet would be to open both valves and roll the mattress up starting at the foot of the pad. How should I store this pad when not in use? Does it need to be unrolled and stored flat (or upright)? It should be stored unrolled, flat, valves open with nothing resting on top. I store mine under my bed.
How comfortable is this pad for sleeping on a hardwood floor, and does it require a sleeping bag or is the padding of the pad alone sufficient? (I am a fairly large person and also not so young.) This pad is 3.5 inches thick and will be relatively comfortable on a hardwood floor. We recommend using a sleeping bag or blanket to stay warm. Can this be pumped up by a hand pump or electric pump to speed up the inflation process? The REI Camp Bed 3.5 can be inflated using a pump as long as an appropriately sized valve adapter is used. In fact, they can also be inflated by mouth. Is there a good way to test this for leaks? Mine has developed a slow leak and I can't find it. I'm worried about submerging it in water to test it... The best way to test a sleeping pad for leaks is to submerge it in a tub of water while it is inflated. You should be able to see bubbles escaping consistently from the location of the leak or leaks. Alternative methods do exist but may not allow you to have confidence that the entire surface has been checked for leaks.
