Product Information

What makes air beds worth it is the far better quality of sleep they offer by elevating you properly off the ground. The manual inflation port within the cord storage is also easy to find, which would come in useful if you’re camping and want to use your own standalone pump. Substitutes for a patch include some kind of thin, plastic material, such as part of a shower curtain liner – and you’ll want to use a strong glue as your adhesive, so your DIY work dries tight. She goes on to say you then need to “use an adhesive and some plastic or vinyl patches to cover the leak” and “after letting the patch set for several hours, you can test the patch to ensure the mattress is no longer leaking”. Easy to pump up, left it for a few hours and came back to find it had deflated quite a lot :( Tried it again and I realised I hadn't pushed in the bungs tight enough.

Bundle Beds aren’t cheap, but they are clever – a compact bag contains a self-inflating mattress which we found inflated fully in just a minute or two on test, plus a soft, cosy duvet, a pillow and bed linen. If you’re looking for a blow-up mattresses for the great outdoors, you can discover more in our feature on best air beds for camping.This air bed is available in single or regular double sizes, but we liked the raised double the best – it offers one or two campers or overnight guests excellent padding when fully inflated, and if you’re sharing, you’ll have plenty of space.

If this sounds like a problem you’re dealing with, fear not, as DIY repairs are very common within the air bed community. Including an easy-to-use foot pump, that inflates in just a few minutes and stays inflated due to the durable PVC material. According to Lauren Fountain from the Sleep Foundation, to fix the leak, you’ll need to locate the hole and then clean the area.

The Abberton bed comes with two small pillows and packs away into a neat little package for easy storage, although a carry case isn’t included.

We’d suggest going for one with an electric option, as this will make the blowing-up-process faster. Air chambers: Air beds with vertical air chambers are more comfortable because they work to distribute the weight. The bed’s ‘fiber-tech’ construction is designed to be firm and durable and a small built-in pillow adds neck support at one end – although I felt it could be a little deeper.Need to know Carry bag, built-in headboard, raised edges around the side to stop you rolling off, flocked cover material. I may not have my priorities right, but the first thing I wanted to do when inflating the Intex was to give it a stroke. Overall, I think this is an excellent option for camping since it raises you off the ground and adds a little luxury to your tent. The flocked surface is soft and keeps a sheet from slipping about, and we found this mat stayed inflated effectively when on test.
