Think about how you feel when you wake up from a good night’s sleep. Refreshed. Energized. No aches or pains. A clear, focused mind. Good attitude. Compare that to how you feel after a night of interrupted, uncomfortable sleep. Lethargic. Grumpy. Sluggish. Stiff and sore. Mad at the world.
The mattress you choose can make all the difference. These days, air mattresses can be as comfortable as sleeping in a regular bed. You don’t have to suffer through with thin, leaky, unstable plastic cushions just barely keeping you off the hard floor. Whether you’re going camping, just moved into your first apartment without furniture, or need an extra bed for guests – these self-inflating air mattresses will provide maximum comfort all night long.
Quieter operation
All right, it’s not actually silent, but the built-in pump in this air mattress is quiet enough to not disturb anyone else’s sleep if you need a quick adjustment in the middle of the night. The SureGrip bottom will keep the mattress from sliding on slick floors, while the 40 internal air coils give great stability and support all night long. The queen size mattress stands 19 inches tall, and is rated for up to 500 pounds. Fully inflates in less than four minutes.
Tufted surface
This sturdy model boasts 20 percent thicker PVC and welded seams to prevent leaks. The tufted mattress surface provides extra spinal support with interior coil beams, so you’ll wake up feeling as comfortable as if you’d slept on a traditional spring mattress. The twin size mattress stands 16 inches tall, and is rated for up to 300 pounds. Fully inflates in less than two minutes so you can get to those sweet dreams a lot sooner.
Comfort and convenience
This might be the coziest air mattress out there. Every detail is designed for comfort. A built-in raised pillow supports your head while internal air coil beams give firm support to your entire body. The queen size mattress stands 20 inches tall, and is rated for up to 600 pounds. Fully inflates in just two minutes.
Great internal support
An intricate webbing of high-strength fibers in this product creates a supportive, firm air mattress that won’t dip. Horizontal internal air-filled beams and a double-layer pillow-top surface provide a comfortable cushion to keep your spine straight while sleeping – an important practice to avoiding morning stiffness. Fully inflates in just under five minutes.
Get to sleep fast
Like the other premium air mattresses in this list, the EZ INFLATE brand offers comfort and stability with air coil beams. But what sets it apart is how fast it inflates. If getting to sleep 30 seconds faster matters to you, and sometimes it really does, this is the one you want. The queen size mattress stands 16 inches tall, and is rated for up to 600 pounds. Best of all, it fully inflates in just 90 seconds. We have a winner.
