A double air mattress, also called full size, is larger than a twin size mattress, but smaller than a queen or king size mattress. It is measured when inflated and prepared for sleeping, but is much smaller in size when deflated. Does this Spark an idea?

Air mattresses deflate completely and can be stored in a small space, such as a closet or cabinet. They are easily transported and are often used for camping.
Types
-
Self-inflating, manual inflating, waterproof, raised and even maternity (see
References below) air mattresses are available. These types are also available in different levels of firmness.
Warning

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns air mattresses pose a suffocation risk to infants (see References below). It warns never to place a sleeping infant on an air mattress.
