 Finding a Coleman Air Bed

Coleman air beds are no longer just a simply a convenient fix for when company comes over and needs to stay the night or simply  relegated to a camping trip. The new air beds on the market offer significant improvements from older air beds and have become much more comfortable and resistant to air leakage. A Coleman air bed can offer plentiful room and a customized sleep experience from night to night because you can change the level of air in the mattress.

Air retention was a major problem with the older type of air mattresses.   It was frequently a problem that the inflation wouldn't even make it fully through the night, causing stiffness or soreness from not being properly supported.  

Coleman air mattresses come in multiple forms. They range from simple twin, full, queen, or king mattresses to versions that be set up in multiple configuration.  A popular model comes as twin mattresses that can be reconfigured into a king with ease. Many people like the re-configurable beds because they offer the ultimate in convenience ranging from stacked twins, to being split into different areas, to offering maximum space in the king configuration.

The materials for air mattress beds range from simple heavy-duty vinyl to vinyl coated with a fabric top that can dramatically increase comfort.   The fabric tops also help to decrease the likelihood of the sheets sliding around on the mattress.    The straight vinyl type mattresses also increase the likelihood of sweating & feeling sticky so they are less comfortable for people who need to feel cooler when sleeping.

Portable type air beds can be deflated and stored easily just like the older camping style mattresses.   Some of them can be deflated quickly with a pump so if this is important to you, look specifically for this feature.   They also usually come with a handy storage bag so they can be stored compactly and neatly until you need to get them out for company or toss them in your car for a camping trip.

There are a lot of people who now use their air beds as their main bed due to the comfort and convenience. It certainly is an advantage when moving to not have to struggle and strain your back maneuvering a heavy traditional mattress and frame through hallways and door frames, down stairs, etc. The ability to simply deflate a bed, roll it or fold it, and drop it into a carrying case makes it possible for just a single person to easily get the bed into a vehicle for transportation.

Prices for Coleman air mattresses can range from $45 to well over $100, based on the features that you are looking for. Some of the other most popular brands of air mattresses are Ozark Trail, Spring Air, Aerobed, and Select Comfort.

Dual chamber air mattresses have special chambers where the air can be custom adjusted to the perfect level of firmness and support. They also allow for each side of the bed to be custom controlled so that both of the sleepers in a bed can independently find the level of firmness that is best for them independently.   

There is a huge range in the types and costs of air mattresses so it is advised to shop around quite a bit to make sure you are able to find the bed that is perfect for you and your needs.
