When we rounded up Affordable Sleeper Chairs & Ottomans as options for hosting overnight guests in small spaces last week, we heard from a lot of commenters that they rely on air mattresses. Indeed, air mattresses have come a long way. While they were once considered torture, they're now just as (and maybe more) comfortable than a lot of convertible sofas and chairs. Check out our top 5 picks for inflatable mattresses and weigh in with your own opinions in the comments. • EasyRest Inflatable Guest Bed from Frontgate $279.00 Although this bed would require a lot of space, with its built-in headboard it's sure to make your guest feel like they're in an actual bed. • Wenzel Insta-Bed Queen from Amazon $99.99 This bed has gotten great reviews on Amazon and also scored the top slot in Consumer Reports' list of best air mattresses. • Coleman Grand Canyon Raised Quickbed from Cabela's $99.99 Since it's intended for outdoor use, this bed will stand up to the toughest conditions.
• Serta Raised Pillow Top Airbed $156.15 With its pillow top, this option from Serta is the closest you're going to get to a real mattress while still having the ease of an inflatable. • Superior Inflatable Bed from Hammacher Schlemmer $159.95 Hammacher Schlemmer's bed has gotten great reviews, most citing its comfort and ease of use. Bonus points for looking like a proper mattress and box springs.

Maybe you've even seen the recent sensation that is the inflatable lounger that rolls up into a bag that doesn't even have to be worn like a backpack, but can slip inside the one you already have. And if you haven't, behold: The Loungr.
Available not only for the taking, but for the taking at 22% off for a limited time. Unlike most blow-up toys, one of the most fun Loungr features might actually be its inflation method. No pumps, huffs, or puffs necessary here. Think more along the lines of filling plastic bags from the grocery store produce section with air when you were a kid so you could tie them off and stomp to pop them. Minus the popping, the Loungr inflates the exact same way--hold its open end, corral a few big scoops of air inside, and then seal to trap it. Having an opening wide enough to gather big chunks of air also means that Loungr deflation takes the same few seconds filling it does. Without the annoying ssssshhhhh! Loungrs are made of sturdy ripstop nylon capable of supporting up to 300 pounds of reclining, seated, or belly flopped weight. Use it at the beach, camping, or on pavement. If it's a windy day or you need to hit the john, you can also stake it the ground to prevent takeoff. Loungr side pockets can store your phones and bigs, while the carrying bag's attached bottle opener will help keep you hydrated.
Loungrs come in colors Blue, Black, Green, and, for the ladies, kiddies, and unicorns, Pink and Purple.All order, customer service, and general inquiries should be submitted through the Dude Exclusives Customer Support page.
