Odor-Free – Because of the PVC material used to manufacture them, there is no nasty off-gassing odors like you may find when a memory foam mattress is new.
No Sagging – Sagging is when the surface tends to give way slowly after years of usage, thus creating a crater like effect where the person sleeps. When sagging occurs it usually means time to start think about a replacement. A conventional full size memory foam mattress or some innerspring versions will definitely sag after years of usage, but with an air bed this isn’t the case as you simply inflate with more air, which eliminates the sag.
Increased Durability – The hard wearing PVC and ability to counter sagging issues increases the life span tremendously over innerspring, latex or foam. The average conventional type such as latex or spring will last between 7-10 years depending on quality, whereas an air bed can easily last 15 years. More often, if it’s an air mattress with built in pump that you have, the pump will fail before the bed will, but these can easily be replaced at a low cost.
Rapid Inflation – Depending on the quality of the pump, an air bed can be inflated to full size within minutes, for example, a raised twin size can be inflated fully in approximately 5 minutes. A non raised slightly smaller camping mattress can be inflated in approximately 3 minutes.
Low Price – Well known brands such as Coleman and Intex have managed to bring their prices right down. For example, a twin air mattress can be purchased for as little as $30 online, whereas a twin memory foam mattress can easily cost $300 for a decent quality one.
