Features of an Inflatable Mattress

Thickness Thinner air beds are easier to store and are lighter. They are also usually cheaper. They are, however, not as comfy as a thicker air bed. They are more suit to be used on a camping trip, or as an occasional spare. If you have guests over often, they'll appreciate a thinker air bed a lot more. Raised ones are also easier to get in and out of.

Pump There are two main types of pump you can get with an inflatable mattress. There are external ones and built in ones. Built in ones are becoming more popular and we feel they are easier too operate and better. That being said, if your air bed is for a car or camping trip then you might want to pick up a car pump. For an air bed for your home then we think a built in pump is the better option.
