AIRBEDS<br />
Air mattresses use air, rather<br />
than a coil system or foam<br />
core, as a means of support.<br />
An air mattress is an inflatable<br />
mattress, the majority of which<br />
are usually made of polyvinyl<br />
chloride (PVC), although<br />
recently developed textile-reinforced<br />
urethane plastic or<br />
rubber versions exist. The<br />
deflated mattress can be<br />
rolled up or folded and carried<br />
or stored relatively easily,<br />
making them a popular choice<br />
for camping trips and for<br />
temporary bedding at home<br />
for guests. They are inflated<br />
either orally by blowing into<br />
a valve, or with a manual or<br />
electric pump.<br />
Air chambers that run through<br />
the mattress allow you to adjust<br />
and customize your comfort.<br />
Sleepers with preferences<br />
ranging with different levels<br />
of firmness can find their<br />
ideal comfort by adjusting the<br />
amount of air in the chambers.<br />
Some air mattresses feature<br />
a dual zone technology that<br />
allows both sleeping partners to<br />
set their side of the mattress according<br />
to their preferences. You<br />
can sleep soundly in soft, plush<br />
comfort while your partner enjoys<br />
a firm night of sleep. Some<br />
airbeds take customization to<br />
the next level, giving sleepers<br />
the opportunity to customize<br />
different zones of the mattress.<br />
This could be an ideal option for<br />
sleepers with ailments such as a<br />
bad back or a weak neck. With<br />
more air supporting the areas<br />
of the body that need it most,<br />
sleepers can rest easily knowing<br />
that every part of the body is<br />
getting the support it needs.
