When you hear “air” bed, do you think of camping? Most people do, but an air bed is also used in many homes because of its extreme comfort and a guaranteed good night’s sleep.
An air bed is light when deflated and can be easily transported. It also comes in handy as an extra bed. It’s easy to set up by using an electronic air pump that inflates the bed in less than a minute. The bed size is the same as that of a regular bed; so regular bedding can be used.
Air beds are often used in hospitals for patients who are confined to bed for a period of time. Sleeping on an air bed prevents bedsores and are very helpful in providing comfort.
Some air beds have a “hybrid mattresses” that have coil springs with air chambers that can be inflated to get the desired firmness. There are also beds with air chambers placed side by side so that two people can adjust their side of the bed separately for individual comfort.
People who camp and hike often prefer simple air beds that can be inflated manually. There are also air beds for cottages and cabins. These beds can be set on to frames and are not portable.
An air bed is comfortable because of its ability to spread body weight evenly. The bed changes its shape according to the shape of the body sleeping on it. Another important factor is an air bed reduces dust mites, while a regular mattress over time can become infested with dead skin and dust particles leading to allergies.
Air beds were originally designed for hospitals, but are now used in many households for better sleeping comfort and better health.
