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! Goodnight and good luck!Whether you bring out an air mattress for your guests to sleep on or you take your air mattress camping, you need to be wary of punctures. A hole in your air mattress will only get worse over time, and the larger it gets, the more difficult it will be to repair. When you are dealing with an air mattress with a hole in it, you need to take action immediately. On a large air mattress this can take some time. Do not simply inflate the mattress and lie down on it until you can hear air hissing out. This will only enlarge the hole and risk more damage to the air mattress itself. Instead, prepare a solution of water and dish soap and place it in a spray bottle.
Fill the air mattress up and mist strategic areas of the plastic. As you gently press down on the mattress, a hole will make its presence known by creating small bubbles in the liquid. This is the most gentle and reliable way to locate the hole. Ideally, your air mattress will come with a repair kit that is exclusive to the vendor. These kits usually consist of vinyl patches and some kind of adhesive. If your mattress is from a high-quality manufacturer, it might be best to use the materials that they give you for the most effective repair. If your air mattress did not come with a repair kit, you can contact the manufacturer for a kit that works well with their air mattress. When you cannot contact the vendor or the vendor is no longer in business, you can go to a general home improvement store and look for general vinyl repair kits. These kits can be found in any major home improvement store like Lowe's or Home Depot, and they are usually located in areas that pertain to pool maintenance.
