Air Beds, An Air Bed For Every Use

The world of air beds is becoming more and more varied. Now, there isn't just one kind of air mattress anymore. There are several different types of air mattresses these days as manufacturers are learning more and more about the potential of an air bed. Here are the different options you can choose from if you're bent on getting an air mattress.

1. Raised Airbeds

Raised airbeds are air mattresses that have more height than the regular bed. They usually rise 22 inches or more from the floor. The beauty of using raised airbeds is that it gives you a more secure and more cushioned feel. When you use air beds, nothing separates you from the floor but air. So the higher the air mattress is, the higher off the floor you are, so the more assured you are that you won't be sleeping on the cold ground tonight. Some consumers also share that the extra height makes them feel more comfortable.

According to Amazon consumers, the most popular and most highly recommended raised airbeds today are the Wenzel Insta-Bed and the Intex Downy. Both have built in pumps. The Intex offer has a waterproof flocked top. The Wenzel offer ships with a nylon carry bag and has a special underside material that grips the floor well. Both get 4-star ratings from consumers.

2. Adjustable Airbeds

Another type of air mattress that's becoming more and more popular lately is the adjustable airbed. This is an air mattress that has two separate chambers, one on each side of the mattress. Each side operates independently from the other. This is perfect for sleep partners who prefer different firmness levels. Each of them can adjust their side of the bed without affecting the other sleeper.

The Sleep Number beds from Select Comfort are the most popular adjustable airbeds today. You can choose your preferred Sleep Number, the term the company uses to refer to the firmness setting you are most comfortable with. You can even get the mattress on a 12-month installment plan with no interest.

3. Luxury Airbeds

Now there is also what are categorized as luxury airbeds. These are airbeds designed to provide a little more luxury than the usual PVC airbeds. How so? These airbeds often come with a special mattress comfort layer or covering that can make you forget you are sleeping on an air mattress, without compromising the benefits of air mattresses. Some of them have cashmere covers, velvet covers, and so on.

4. Memory Foam Airbeds

Then there are memory foam airbeds. These airbeds are hybrid products. They combine an air mattress and a memory foam mattress. The effect, according to actual users, is a cloud-like feeling when you sleep, resulting in their most comfortable sleep ever. The best thing about these airbeds is that you can easily bring them around, so it's almost like lugging your memory foam bed around with you.

Intex also offers a memory foam airbed, the Velvetaire Flocked Deluxe memory foam airbed with built in pump. It has an air chamber covered with a built in layer of memory foam topped with a cozy flocked mattress cover.
