Whether you're going camping for the weekend or simply need an extra bed for visiting company, an inflatable bed is a practical purchase. However, there are a few things to consider before you head to the store.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Choose an easy-to-use inflatable bed. While some inflatable beds attach to an air compressor and can take several minutes to inflate, others come with an electrical pump as part of their design that causes the bed to inflate immediately. Unless you want to add to your exercise regime, avoid beds that call for a manual pump.
Step2
Look for a seal of approval. The materials used to make the inflatable bed should be a heavy-duty, puncture-resistant vinyl. Likewise, find out if the inflatable bed is strong and durable.
Step3
Ask to test out an inflatable bed before you buy one. Many sporting good or mattress stores have products on demonstration. Look for comfort and ease of use, including how easy the bed is to inflate and deflate.
Step4
Consider how much space the inflatable bed takes up when not in use. This point is important for those using an inflatable bed while traveling. Chances are you won't want to pack a bed that is too bulky or heavy.
