Tips for Sleeping Comfortably on an Air Mattress Hosting Help: Tips for Sleeping Comfortably on an Air Mattress I live in a one bedroom apartment with no pull-out couch, so whenever guests come to stay, either they or I usually end up sleeping on my inflatable air mattress. Due to these adventures, I have collected a list of tips and tricks to make the night more bearable (and perhaps even comfortable) if you're sleeping on an inflatable. See below for my list, and of course add your own. 1. If you haven't yet purchased an inflatable mattress and are planning to, splurge and get the double. I'm a small person with a five pound chihuahua, and somehow one of us is always falling off the edge of the twin. 2. Skip the bells and whistles. Air mattresses don't last forever, and a basic inflatable can be just as comfortable as a more expensive, air-chambered version. I have the Guest Choice from Aero Bed, which is as basic as they come, and have had it for nearly ten years with no problems.
Make sure to find one that has a pump which can adjust air. This one has a release button for perfect inflation. Also, find a mattress that is at least 20 gauge vinyl or higher to prevent tiny holes from developing. 3. Utilize your sleeping bags: the original air mattresses. Create a pillow top over an inflated air bed with open sleeping bags, blankets or memory foam. The air inside of the mattress will gradually cool overnight, and likely make you colder than a regular bed. Pad it for comfort and warmth. 4. Make it like a real bed. After creating the pillow top, make up the air mattress like you would any other bed: with a sheet set, blanket and comforter. It's tempting when you're tired to just drop down and use a blanket to cover you, but making it up like your regular bed will provide a better night's sleep. 5. Make sure to place the bed on a soft surface. Most air mattresses have vinyl or plastic underneath to prevent movement and sliding. That will squeak all night on a hardwood floor.
Opt to place it on carpet, a rug, or drop a blanket under it. 6. Create a headboard. If your air mattress doesn't already have one built in, create a faux-headboard by placing the mattress in front of a wall. Beds have headboards for lots of reasons, but one of them is to keep your pillows from falling backwards off the bed. 7. Keep pets away from the unmade mattress! Air mattresses are fun and exciting to curious pets, and claws can damage them with one quick pop. Plus, if you have future guests that happen to be allergic, it will be hard to remove all traces of their dander. 8. When in doubt, have a glass of wine. That always puts me right to sleep!

Classic Air Mattress - TwinEdit ArticleHow to Repair an Aerobed Leak Six Methods:Preparing the MattressStopping a Pinhole LeakPatching a Small Hole or TearFixing a Leak in the SeamRepairing the ValveChecking your workCommunity Q&A Air mattresses are useful items for camping trips and accommodating guests. Unfortunately, after time even the best air mattresses are prone to leaks. Given that a top-of-line air mattress can cost quite a bit of money, it’s worth considering repairing the leak yourself.
From simply listening for the leak to spraying the mattress with soapy water and looking for bubbles to more extreme tests like submerging the mattress in a tub or swimming pool, the many tests for find a leak in your air mattress are detailed in 5 Ways to Locate a Leak in an Air Mattress. However, the most reliable methods seem to be the easiest: using your ears and spraying the mattress with soapy water. Whichever method you choose, always inspect the mattress systematically. First inspect the valves. Then, check the seams. Finally, inspect the flat surfaces of mattress.Use a permanent marker or a piece of masking tape. For “flocked” (fuzzy) mattresses, use fine grit sandpaper or an emery board to smooth the area before attempting to patch it. And make sure to remove any debris with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner before proceeding. Alternatively, use acetone—an ingredient found in many nail polish removers—to smooth the flocked area before patching it.
Wet a cotton ball with a small amount of acetone and dab the area around the hole. Then, use something rigid like a spoon to scrape away the flocking. Finally, use rubbing alcohol to clean the area thoroughly. Dry the mattress completely.You will need a urethane glue like McNett’s Freestyle , Seam Grip, or Aquaseal, or Coleman’s Seam Sealer. Smear a small amount of glue over the hole.As the mattress inflates, the glue should seal the hole. In the event that you are unable to seal the hole with glue alone, proceed to Method 2, “Patching a Small Hole or Tear.” Let the glue dry. This will take 24 hours. Make sure the glue is dry before you use the mattress.You will either need an air mattress repair kit or the equivalent components: an adhesive and a piece of vinyl that’s larger than the hole you’re repairing. Use any vinyl repair kit instead of an air mattress repair kit. Choose an adhesive that’s made expressly for sealing seams. Try McNett’s Seam Grip or Coleman’s Seam Sealer.
You can also consider using rubber cement. Duct tape can be used in place of the vinyl if no other alternatives are available. You may also need something with which to apply the adhesive. A small paint brush is ideal. Measure and cut a patch that’s at least ½ inch bigger on all sides than the tear. Apply the adhesive to one side of the patch. Use the applicator that came with the adhesive or small paint brush.[12] Make sure you cover the entire surface of the patch. If the leak is small and in an area where a patch cannot make full contact with the mattress fabric, you can try plugging the leak with a small a bit of adhesive. Press the patch, adhesive-side down, onto the tear or hole. Press firmly and smooth it out. The goal is get the patch to make full contact with the mattress. Consider weighting down the patch with a 10-pound weight to ensure full contact between the patch and the mattress. Let dry for several hours. Exact drying times will depend on which adhesive you’ve used.
Refer to the directions on the package. Consider returning the mattress. If the mattress is new, a leak in the seam may indicate a defect or poor quality.You will need an air mattress repair kit or the equivalent components: a vinyl adhesive and a vinyl patch. When purchasing adhesives, look for urethane glues like McNett’s Seam Grip or Coleman’s Seam Sealer. Instead of urethane glue, you can try rubber cement. Cut a patch from a repair kit or a spare piece of vinyl so that it will cover the tear. Smear an ample amount of adhesive over the tear. Use the applicator that came with your adhesive or a small paint brush. [20] Make sure the adhesive extends ¼ of an inch beyond the edges of the tear. If you’re fixing a seam on a flocked surface, use more adhesive to ensure that the two sides of the seam stick together. Press the two sides of the seam together. The goal is to make sure that both sides of the opening remain in contact while the adhesives sets up.
Consider using clothespins to hold the two sides of the tear together. Just be careful not to glue the clothespins to the mattress. Let the adhesive dry almost completely.[23] This is called “setting up” and will take a few hours. Apply a layer of adhesive to the patch. Place the vinyl patch onto the newly applied rubber cement, following the instructions on your repair kit. Allow the adhesive to dry completely.[26] Drying times will vary depending on the adhesive but 6-8 hours is a good bet.Is there a hole or a crack? A hole will be easier to fix than a crack. If there’s a crack you might need to order a new valve from the air mattress manufacturer. This is a long-shot method and may not always work. Often, a severely damaged valve means that you’ll need to buy a new mattress. Plug the hole by filling it with rubber cement or seam sealer.If the valve is leaking air because the valve plug isn’t properly sealing against the valve stem, you can line the stem with a thin piece of plastic to help it seal properly.
