What are the features to look for in an air mattress? The following is a guide to help you identify the best air mattress to purchase:
Fabric - the quality of the fabric is determined by the purpose of use and maintenance of the mattress to prolong the life of the mattress. It is important that the fabric used is flexible and durable. The quality of the fabric is the determining factor of the reliability and longevity of your mattress.
Comfort and Support - the design of the mattress determines the comfort and support level that it is made of. For instance, it is important to check that the mattress has a mattress pad for added cushioning and protection, one touch control for easy adjustment and a q-coil construction that ensures that the air mattress does not sag or bow.
Inflation Method - there are various ways to inflate an air mattress. One is to blow in air using your own lung power and the other is to use a one-way inflation valve. A one way inflation valve contains a flap to trap air in the mattress as air is blown into it. It is obviously wiser to obtain a mattress that has an inflation valve, as it will be much less of a hassle. However, the best alternative is the air mattress that has a manual or electric air pump that makes inflation even easier.
Construction and Durability - Many people tend to look at the quality of the plastic that the mattress is made of when purchasing. Even though it is essential, we can be assured that that the plastic used may look thin but it is undoubtedly strong. The real cause for concern should be the quality of the welds that grip the mattress together. The welds of a good quality model of mattress are less likely to fail along the seam lines over a period of usage or under extensive usage.
Storage - air mattresses should be easily deflated and light to make storage easy
