Air Mattresses: Reviews

If you have space for it, a raised air mattress is a nice option for guests. Because the queen-size Wenzel Insta-Bed sits 22 inches off the floor, it feels more like a real bed, and it's easier to get in and out of. The… Insta-Bed's built-in pump plugs into an outlet to quickly inflate the bed in 90 seconds, while the grippy bottom prevents the mattress from sliding on the floor. It comes with a carrying bag and the mattress' flocked top securely holds sheets and bedding in place. The Wenzel Insta-Bed weighs more than 20 pounds, so it's not exactly lightweight. Reviews for this air mattress are excellent, with very few complaints about air leaks.

The Coleman Quickbed, designed for indoor or outdoor use, can be used in a variety of ways: as two separate 9-inch-tall twin beds, a king-size bed or snapped together for a twin double-high bed. It will fit standard twin… or king size sheets. One drawback is that unlike other air beds, the Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed does not come with a pump, so consumers will need to purchase this item at an extra cost prior to use. A standard plug-in pump costs about $20. Battery powered (about $19) and manual pumps (about $12) are also available, making this bed a good option for car camping. The Coleman air mattress comes with a one-year limited warranty.
