How to choose an air mattress for sleeping

Before you buy an air mattress for sleeping, it is important to familiarize yourself with the main criteria that will help you make the right choice in favor of a particular model:

• Maximum load. Pay attention to the maximum load that the mattress can withstand. The optimal load for a single mattress is 130 kg, for a double mattress about 230 kg. 
• Pump. It can be electric, manual, foot and built-in. The most convenient is electric, as it inflates the mattress itself. In second place is the foot (inflating is done with the help of the foot). The most inconvenient is manual, pumping them requires maximum effort. The built-in pump is convenient in that it is already inside the structure and does not require connection. However, in the event of a breakdown, repair will be extremely difficult.
• Mattress size. Depending on the need, you can choose a single or double mattress. When choosing, it is better to take a model with a small margin, for more comfortable placement, and also take into account the position in which you sleep, how tall you are, etc.
• Materials. Choose the most durable and high-quality, these include PVC and nylon. As a coating, the best option would be flock, it has anti-slip properties. 
• Equipment. When choosing, consider the package. It is convenient when the kit includes pillows, a pump, a storage bag and other useful little things and spare parts.
• Section type. Internal chambers or sections can be of different types. I-beam, or I-beam – the ribs run along the mattress, they are made of rigid PVC. Wave-beam – the ribs are made not of rigid, but of flexible PVC. Coli-beam – the system does not consist of waves, as in the two previous cases, but of cells. Air-flow The system consists of two levels. The lower one is an i-beam, the upper one has additional tape ribs. Dura-beam – consists of partitions, which are based on polyester threads. They stretch and then return to their original shape, so the mattress will not deform over time.

The ideal air mattress for sleeping should be moderately soft, pleasant to the touch, of the right size, made of high-quality and durable materials. A big plus is the presence of a pump, pillows and other nice additions for a comfortable sleep and rest.
