Frequently Asked Air Mattress & Foldable Bed Questions
When you’re staying away from home and have to leave the comfort of your king bed, air mattresses and foldable beds are a good alternative. Learn more about what these portable beds have to offer for your next trip.
What Are the Benefits of an Air Mattress?
The number one benefit of an air mattress is portability. When not filled with air, many fold down to a size that would fit in a carry-on suitcase. They’re also not that heavy, so they won’t push your luggage over max weight restrictions. That means the next time you’re relegated to the living room floor when visiting your cousin, you can transform the space into an elegant bedroom everyone will be jealous of. Today’s air mattresses aren’t the kind you took camping 30 years ago. The best air mattresses feature elements you’d find in a normal bed, like supportive coils, distinct support zones at the head, lumbar, and foot, and even lush pillow-top sleeping surfaces.How Long Do Inflatable Mattresses Last?
The longevity of a blow-up mattress all depends on how you use it. If you’re just taking it on a few camping trips a year, expect it to last 10 to 15 years. However, if you’ll be using the bed every night, the life expectancy can drop to around two years. Keep in mind that as these beds age, they may begin to leak air throughout the night, meaning you might wake up on the ground. When this happens, it’s a sign to upgrade to a new mattress.Which Foldable Bed Is Best?
We’re biased, but we believe we have the best foldable beds here at Ashley. Our foldable beds all bend in half, so you can easily store them in a closet or spare room when not in use. Many of our foldaway beds also come with wheels on the bottom, making them easy to transport throughout your home. They’re also all twin beds, which helps to give each guest a little more privacy than if they had to share one larger bed. You might not think folding mattresses would be comfortable, but we offer plenty of selections that come with memory foam and plush padding for an extra touch of coziness. Finally, our beds that fold up come with either wooden slats or a steel frame so you won’t feel like you’re sagging to the middle of the earth.What Is the Best Temporary Bed?
If you’re seeking out the best temporary bed, it depends on whether or not you’re the one traveling. If you’re bringing your own bed with you, then an air mattress would be best because it’s the most portable. However, if you’re inviting out-of-town friends in for the weekend, then setting up a folding mattress for them would be a little more supportive than a typical air mattress.No interest if paid in full within 12 Months††
