Air Beds

Air beds and inflatable mattresses are great for camping or hosting guests. They’re affordable, compact, and come in sizes including single and queen.

What Else to Buy for Camping

When you go camping, having the right gear makes all the difference. A few extra items can make your trip much more comfortable and stress-free.

An air pump is a must-have, even if your air bed has a built-in pump. A manual or electric pump is a great backup in case you need it. It’s also handy for inflating other gear like pool toys or inflatable chairs.

A repair kit is worth packing too. It’s perfect for quick fixes if your air bed gets damaged. Most kits are small and easy to carry, so they won’t take up much space in your bag.

Sleeping bags and liners are essential for warmth. They add an extra layer of comfort and help keep you cosy during chilly nights. A good ground tarp or mat is also a smart buy. It protects your air bed from dirt, moisture, and rough surfaces. These simple extras can make camping feel a lot more like home.

Why do air beds go down overnight?

Air beds can lose air overnight because of temperature changes. Cooler air at night causes the air inside to contract, making the bed feel less firm.

Another reason is the air bed stretching slightly during use. As you lie on it, the material adjusts and creates more space for the air to spread out. This is normal and doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the air bed.

Tips to Extend the Life of Your Air bed

Taking care of your air bed can keep it in great condition. Simple steps can help it stay durable and reliable for years.

Use your air bed on a smooth surface to avoid unnecessary wear. A ground mat is a good option to protect it from dirt or rough areas. This reduces the chance of damage during use.

Clean your air bed after each trip. Wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and let it dry completely before storage. This helps prevent mould and bad odours.

Store your air bed in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it too tightly to protect the seams. Rolling it loosely and using the storage bag works best. Check the valve for a proper seal before use. These steps can help your air bed last longer and perform well on every trip.
