Air mattresses are the prefect choice for a guest bed. When they are not in use and deflated, they can be rolled up compactly and easily stored. Once inflated, they become comfortable mattresses that can bed adjusted in firmness depending on your person preferences. They are also ideal as beds for camping or travelling. You can roll them up and easily take them with you wherever you are heading.
There are many different brands and types of air mattresses that you can buy. Many of them are more comfortable than other choices of spare beds such as trundles and sofas.
Queen Air Mattress
A queen mattress is 60 inches by 80 inches in size. They are the best sized mattresses for two adults or four small children. Taller singles or those who like extra room to stretch out also find this size to be very comfortable. Due to their larger size, they are more expensive than twin mattresses. Also, they are larger than there twin counterparts which means that will be a little tricker to take with you.
The Best Brands of Queen Air Mattresses
The three best known air mattresses are Areobed, Coleman and Intex. The air mattresses market is a niche market and each of these brands fulfil a particular need. That is why it is important to know which brand is best for your particular set of circumstances. Below you will find an outline of these three brands and some quick advice about which one suits your needs.
1. Aerobed Guest Choice Inflatable Bed – Queen
Areobed’s reputation is non-surpassed. They are the best quality air mattresses that money can buy. You will pay a premium for this brand of air bed but if you can afford it then they are well worth the price.
The Aerobed Guest Choice queen size air mattress is quick and easy to setup and to deflate. It comes with a plug-in pump that will inflate the mattress in about 60 seconds. It can be deflated in 15 seconds. The material is heavy gauge PVC vinyl which is resistant to leaks and punctures, and there is a number of inner coils for extra comfort. The only complaint is that it can be a little tricky to pack away if you don’t fold the mattress is the right way.
2. Coleman Queen-Sized Quickbed with Wrap ‘N’ Roll Storage
Coleman is best known as a camping brand. As such, their air beds are cheaper but not as comfortable as Aerobed.
The Coleman queen air mattress comes with a double lock value which means that it can inflate 10 times faster than other beds. The material is PVC which tough and resistant but a repair kit is included just in case. The 48 inner coils provides extra comfort and support, and there is a soft suede top for a more comfortable feel. The Wrap N Roll Storage system means that it is easy to put away and store.
3. Intex Pillow Rest Queen Airbed with Built-in Electric Pump
The Intex is known as the budget brand of air mattresses. If you want a cheap but comfortable air bed then Intex is probably the brand of mattress that you are after.
The main advantage of this queen air mattress is that it is larger than most at 64 inches by 82 inches. It also comes with an A/C 120 Volt Electric pump that is built inside the mattress and makes it convenient to inflate the mattress wherever there is an electrical outlet. The mattress isn’t as higher quality than other brands and therefore won’t be as durable.
Which One Should You Choose
The choice really comes down to quality vs price. Areobed is the most comfortable and durable, but this comes with a price tag. Intex is the cheapest and largest but isn’t as durable as Coleman or Areobed. If you need a mattress for camping then Coleman should be worth a look.
