[A347]Air Bed Air Mattress

by Trevor Price, Tre

With the influx of air adjustable bed brands on to the mattress market, customers are complaining that many models simply aren't hitting their quality promises. If you're considering the purchase of an adjustable air mattress but want to buy a brand that's known for its quality, keep reading for three classic recommendations.

ComfortAire Bed Options

ComfortAire builds high-quality air mattresses that not only offer adjustable support and comfort, but are also designed to last.

The company focuses on using high quality materials like Latex foam, Sensus, a TPU air core, Geo-Matt response systems and Intense mattress fabric, which is designed to absorb your body's static discharge and tension.

All Comfortaire mattress models come with a dual or single air chamber system that lets each sleeper adjust their own personal side of the bed. So, if your husband prefers a firm bed but you like it soft, you can each have your way without disturbing the other.

Sleep Number Bed Mattresses

Select Comfort and the Sleep Number brand are well known, thanks to the company's long-running ad campaigns and over 470 retail locations across North America.

The Sleep Number bed comes in 6 systems, ranging from the Sleep Number 3000 to what they call their deluxe Sleep Number 9000. The basic model in a Twin will cost about $450, while their luxury model in a California King can cost as much as $4700 with added accessories.

Because people are so skeptical about the comfort or quality of an air-chamber mattress, Select Comfort has invested in over 478 bricks-and-mortar stores where you can actually try their Sleep Number bed and see exactly how they work. Visit their Store Locator online to find a store near you. You can also try a Sleep Number bed in your home for 30 days, thanks to their money-back, 30-day guarantee. Be aware that you would be required to pay return shipping.

Sealy Right Touch Mattresses Filled with Air

Because the RightTouch air adjustable bed is made by one of the world's most trusted mattress companies, most people purchase one with a high degree of confidence in the product. Like all Sealy mattresses, the quality is regarded as high, the materials inside are good and the product works. And, like all air adjustable bed systems, the RightTouch allows each individual sleeper to control the firmness level on their side of the bed.

As with other Sealy products, the RightTouch bed is backed by their 20-year warranty and 30-day, no-questions asked, money-back guarantee.

For cost, the Sealy RightTouch system usually boasts a sticker price of just $1400 to $1700, depending on whether the box spring is included. This is an affordable range for most couples.

While many air adjustable beds available today can be prone to malfunctions, sagging or leaks - these three brands have routinely demonstrated that they represent some of the best in the industry. If you have set your sights on the purchase of a new bed, many people find that a mattress filled with air meets their comfort need.

If you're looking for an adjustable air bed for your home, read on for an overview of the 4 most popular air bed manufacturers. Please note that these beds are designed for everyday home use and are not inflatable guest or camping beds. As such, each serves as a comfortable alternative to more traditional boxspring beds that typically wear out within 10 years.

ComfortAire Beds

ComfortAire was the first company in the United States to make and release an adjustable air bed. Their first mattress system came out in 1981 and utilized the same reliable air bladder technology that the company still uses today.

All ComfortAire mattresses are complemented by the company's patented WhisperFlo air control systems which suction air in and out of the mattress' air chambers without making an excessive amount of noise. So, say goodbye to vacuum-loud air beds, and start relaxing with the whisper-quiet ComfortAire.

Select Comfort

The Sleep Number adjustable air bed system is probably the most well-known thanks to the manufacturer's aggressive ad campaigns and over 475 retail locations across the United States and Canada. The bed's major feature is that users can set a specific "sleep number" that designates their preferred firmness level.

For example, if your husband prefers a soft bed while you prefer a firm one, you can both use a personal remote to control the firmness level on your own side of the bed, without affecting the comfort or sleep of the person next to you.

The other major feature of the Sleep Number adjustable air bed is the 30-night, no-questions asked trial feature. Prospective buyers can actually try the bed out at home for 30 nights to decide if they like it. However, you will be responsible for shipping and handling costs on a return, so be prepared.

The SAT Bed

The SAT, or Self-Adjusting Technology, Bed uses a series of air chambers to inflate and deflate the bed. Instead of depending on pumps, motors, engines and air bladders, the SAT bed uses hundreds of air valves that automatically inflate and deflate every time you lie on the bed.

Each valve individually adjusts to the weight and shape of your body, taking pressure off vulnerable points on your body. As you move around the bed, the cylinders refill themselves, conforming to your body and providing support. Unfortunately, more air chambers often mean more points for potential leakage or problems. So, buyers of the SAT bed need to be aware of the possibility of increased maintenance.

Habitat Furnishings Custom-Built Air Beds

With a 180-day money-back guarantee, 20-year warranty and a bed that's built exactly to your specifications, Habitat has cornered the market on the custom-built adjustable air bed. By using high-quality materials like vulcanized rubber and Natural Laytex, Habitat is able to build you a mattress that far exceeds the factory-quality competition. And because they build their adjustable air bed mattresses to order, they can also do it for less.
