Adjustment settings let you customize your level of firmness. Sleeping pads are a great alternative to air mattresses.

Quality material and welded or reinforced seams help stave off punctures and leaks. Be careful not to over-inflate your air mattress. Doing so could break seams and cause your air mattress to leak. Always ensure your new mattress has easy-to-use valves for quick inflation and deflation. Many models come with a built-in pump or a hand pump for ease of use. Many built in pumps are easy to plug in and make inflating your air mattress much easier. Size and height can vary greatly among air mattresses. Consult product information specifics on dimensions, as the size of air mattresses can differ from that of traditional air mattresses.
Some air mattresses come lined in ultra-soft materials, like velour, for additional comfort. For convenience, choose an air mattress that comes with a carrying bag. Sleeping pads are ultra-lightweight and easy to pack—perfect for backpackers and those looking for a lighter load. Looking for maximum comfort? Many premium air mattresses come with adjustability settings so that you can achieve a precise level of softness or firmness. Others come with integrated “headboards” that help keep pillows in place. Keep in mind that your air mattress may initially seem like it is softening or losing air. This is likely because the fabric is stretching and settling. After several uses, this should discontinue.

(And choosing between one or the other can be a difficult decision.) But with modern upgrades, air mattresses can provide a comfy night’s sleep for your guests (or even for you) for as little as the cost of a single night in a hotel room. Prices tend to range from as little as $10 to as much as $200. It’s just a matter of knowing what to buy to suit your style. Consider these factors when picking your next air mattress.Air mattresses follow the same sizing rules as traditional mattresses.
However, variations in firmness based on their level of inflation can make them feel smaller. If you have the space and the budget, and especially if you plan to have two people sleep on the mattress together, consider stepping up the size from a twin to a full, queen, or king. Just remember that not only will you need space for the fully inflated bed in the room that your guests will sleep in, but you’ll also need the space to store it when it’s deflated and not in use. Luckily, most air mattresses fold down into a pretty compact area, about the size of a carry-on suitcase, if not smaller.Think About: Your Guests. If you’ll be hosting kids or young people who are simply grateful not to be sleeping on the floor or on a couch, a basic air mattress that sits low on the ground may be sufficient. Older guests who have a harder time getting down onto the floor (and back up again), or those who demand more of a “real bed” experience will appreciate a thicker, more deluxe air mattress that is raised.
Some fancy air mattresses even come with an attached bed frame. Again, keep in mind that these perks may make the mattress heavier to move and bulkier to store.Think About: Blowing It Up. When was the last time that you blew up a bunch of balloons? It’s not easy, is it? You can certainly save money by buying an air mattress that requires using lung power or a hand pump to inflate, but make sure you’ll be game for doing that difficult and time-consuming work—along with all the other tidying up—when your guests are on their way over. Pricier models plug into an outlet in order to inflate (and later deflate) by themselves in minutes.Some air mattresses have fun features that aren’t absolutely necessary, but are definitely cool if you have a little extra change to spend. For instance, some models have a blue LED light at the bottom of the bed, so if a guest needs to use the bathroom during the night, it serves as a built-in nightlight. Others have a USB port, so a guest can charge a phone, tablet, or laptop overnight.
