How to Make Your Air Mattress More Comfortable
5 Tips to Get the Most out of Your Air Mattress
Re-Inflate Regularly
A properly inflated air mattress can make the difference between a restful night’s sleep and a night of tossing and turning. Even the most quality air beds can begin to sag after a few days of use. If you’re using an air mattress for more than a night or two, keep it firm and supportive by pumping more air into it every few days.
Make It a “Real” Bed
One of the primary comforts of a standard bed is sinking into luxurious bedding. Go the extra mile and keep a spare set of quality sheets, comforter, and plush pillows on-hand to make sleeping on an air bed a relaxing experience. If the bed linens have been stored for a period of time, refresh them with a spritz of linen spray or give them a gentle tumble in the dryer before use.
Use a Mattress Topper
Take your air mattress comfort up a notch by recreating the softness of a traditional bed with a mattress topper. Mattress toppers, like foam egg crates or quilted pads, will add extra cushion to your inflatable bed. Help your guests get their best night’s sleep with an ultra-comfortable air mattress topper.
Create a Headboard
It’s an easily overlooked feature, but a headboard is essential to a comfortable air bed experience. Give your guests the support of a headboard by simply pushing the air mattress against a sofa or wall to create a comfortable place on which to lean. It will also help keep the pillows from falling over the edge of the bed during the night.
Invest in a Mattress Stand or Cot
Air mattresses tend to get chilly during the night when the air inside begins to cool down. A good way to keep an air bed at a comfortable temperature is to elevate it off the ground. Consider investing in a stand, cot, or inexpensive box spring to elevate the mattress and give better support to your sleeping guests.
