by Editors of Good Housekeeping magazine
Good Housekeeping has a panel of testers try six inflatable mattresses, rating them in terms of durability, ease of inflation and deflation, and how well they hold air overnight. The winner is the Eddie… Bauer Insta-Bed, which testers say is comfortable and convenient to inflate and deflate. On the downside, it punctures more easily than others, although the other mattresses included in testing aren't listed. The runner-up is recommended as a portable pick, the Aero Sport All-Terrain Bed with Dual Power Pump, which is easy to store and a good choice for both home and camping.
by Kara Swisher
The Wall Street Journal's catalog critic and a friend test five inflatable air beds rating products on "height, comfort, ease of use and fair price." They give top ratings to the pricey Frontgate EZ Bed,… now called the Essential EZ Bed, which Kara Swisher calls "the most elegant and handsome bed on the market." Swisher says the AeroBed Raised Pillowtop is comfortable but harder to adjust and fold, and she likes that the Insta Flex air bed can be raised to a reading angle. The other air beds tested in this older article have been discontinued.
by Michelle Slatalla
In this amusing article, Slatalla describes her experiences researching the perfect air bed. After interviewing experts at AirMattressInfo.com and REI.com, she orders an AeroBed (no model specified) with a… pump, and a self-inflating REI mattress. Her teens test the two mattresses and report, "The self-inflating REI camp bed needed a few puffs of air to blow up; it was adequate for a teenage guest and easy to stow later. The air mattress filled in seconds to become a comfortable, puffy muffin of a bed."

Some inflatable air beds sold on Amazon.com receive a fair number of customer reviews. Most models by AeroBed -- especially the AeroBed for Kids -- and the Wenzel Insta-Bed receive positive reviews. The… AeroBed Guest Choice has fewer reviews but is highly rated so far, with a 4.5-star rating out of five, based on over 35 reviews. The Aero Sport All-Terrain receives slightly less positive reviews, with a four-out-of-five-star rating based on more than 60 consumer reviews.

Several air mattresses have received a fair number of reviews on Walmart.com, although the site is a bit more difficult to navigate than other retailer sites. In order to see the number of reviews available… for a specific product, users must click through to the product page and scroll down several pages. There are some helpful details provided, however, including the age of the reviewer and how long the consumer has owned the product.

ExpoTV.com is a review website that allows consumers to post video reviews of various products. While most models have only a few reviews, video reviews are useful because they allow consumers to… demonstrate visually various problems and features of a product rather than relying on verbal description. The Greatland Air Bed with Pump and Coleman Twin-Sized Quickbed have accumulated four and five reviews, respectively, and both have an average rating of five stars out of five.

by Charles Passy
In this roundup of inflatable beds, Charles Passy compares five models. Based on this review's age, it's no surprise that three out of five covered models have been discontinued, but the coverage of the two… remaining available models is still useful. The Wenzel Insta-Flex Queen Size Raised Airbed did well in tests aside from the "whoosing" sound created by moving around, while the Cabela's Folding Airbed Frame with Queen Airbed was difficult to assemble and not very comfortable. Passy's favorites are the Intex Raised Air Bed with Memory Foam and the Memory-Foam AeroBed, which have both been discontinued. He says the Frontgate EZ Bed Plus (now discontinued) was easy to assemble, inflate and store, but wasn't comfortable based on a single night's sleep.
