Air Mattresses (16 items found)

Air mattresses are ideal for use as guest beds and for camping out. A high-quality air mattress from Ace is an excellent investment in the long term for a quick and easy sleep solution. 

Choose Twin or Queen Air Mattress Sizes 

Choosing the right size is important to get the most out of your air bed mattress. A queen or king-size model might offer extra space and comfort for home use, while a twin air mattress can still provide comfortable sleeping for one person but takes less inflation effort when camping or putting up a temporary bed for a guest. In general, look for larger sizes to use as a main bed, with smaller ones being more convenient to blow up and easier to store for less frequent use.

How to Blow Up an Air Mattress

How you will blow up your air bed depends on the model you purchase. While some designs have built-in pumps to assist with inflation, others require the use of a manual or electric pump. Learn more about the two types below. 

Blow Up Air Bed without a Pump

For the occasional use of a smaller blow-up air mattress, it's fine to use a foot pump or small battery-powered unit. You can look for products with pumps included. These air beds come in handy for kids’ sleepovers, when you’re moving house, or when hosting the occasional guest in a small space. Deflating them is typically done manually. 

Air Mattress with Built-in Pump

For larger beds or more frequent use, you'll soon appreciate the benefits of buying an air mattress with a built-in pump that uses a regular 110-120V supply. Quick to inflate, with no pumping effort and no extra parts to remember, these air bed designs are the easiest of all to use. What’s more, the built-in pump helps the deflation process to help you quickly and efficiently store your air bed when not in use. 

Air Bed Features 

There are several other features beyond the basics to look for in your ideal air mattress. Here are some of the most important. 

Dual-Use Air Mattress Designs 

Many mattresses in our range can double up as extra beds in the home or portable beds for camping and other trips away. Look for smaller sizes and lower heights for portability, plus waterproof and multipurpose materials to ensure durability.

Antimicrobial Treatments 

Particularly useful with lighter mattresses designed for camping, a specially treated antimicrobial sleep surface offers increased confidence in hygiene by reducing mold, fungus, and odor. However, as well as being ideal for campers, this option also makes a great choice for an air mattress that's mostly used by guests. 

Hypoallergenic Materials 

A typical mattress can pick up all kinds of air-borne irritants such as pollen, pet hairs, household dust and so on. A hypoallergenic air mattress has a special coating that stops these contaminants from becoming embedded, making them a more comfortable option for people with common allergies.

Maximum Weight Capacity 

Even though modern inflatable beds are designed using strong materials like high-density fiber, they're still a little less rugged than regular mattresses built with springs. Before buying, check the maximum weight rating to ensure it is comfortably above your typical needs.
