Car Mattresses Buying Guide<\/b><\/h2>\n

You need to consider multiple factors when choosing a car mattress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Material<\/b><\/h3>\n

Inflatable beds for your car are made of different materials:<\/span><\/p>\n

PVC:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Inflatable beds made with polyvinyl chloride offer a plethora of benefits. This polymer has excellent waterproofing qualities and has the elasticity to withstand hundreds of inflating\/deflation cycles.<\/span><\/p>\n

What makes PVC\u00a0air beds ultra-durable \u2013 and a must-have if you have children or pets on board during long-distance rides \u2013 is their puncture-resistant quality.<\/p>\n

Polyester:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Although it’s rare to find car air beds solely made of polyester, it isn’t uncommon to find models using this material in conjunction with oxford cloth or, in some cases, PVC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manufacturers opt for this combination to increase their air beds’ shelf-life and make them suitable for active use. That’s because polyester, when used alone, tends to attract wrinkles and can shrink.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oxford cloth:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Some of the beds you saw above are made of oxford cloth. Mainly because this material has a lustrous aspect, can withstand frequent stretching and is highly durable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Size<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most airbeds out there are available in two size configurations: <\/span>SUV air mattresses and backseat air beds. The former tend to be bigger, have separate sections such as additional head attachments or edge bumpers and are made with heavy-duty materials to withstand abuse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That isn’t the case with backseat air beds. These models have only two parts, including the inflatable mattress and the two ‘legs’ that will fill the space between the backseat and the front seats. This makes them compatible with most SUVs, trucks and cars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Claimed Weight Capacity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here’s another crucial feature that deserves your utmost attention. Your car’s bed’s weight capacity will determine whether one or two persons can use it at a time. It will also give you a clue of how sturdy or otherwise the product you’re looking at is.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should be able to find any car bed’s weight capacity on its packaging. <\/span>QDH SUV Air Mattress<\/span><\/a>, for instance, comes with a stated weight capacity of 260kgs, making it suitable to use for 2-3 adults. However, it’s always a good idea to put less weight on the bed than it claims to withstand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Added Accessories<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most car bed manufacturers sweeten the deal of their product by offering one or multiple accessories at no extra cost to the buyer. The most popular add-ons that most beds come with are one or two pillows, an air pump, a storage bag, and a bedsheet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other accessories, which you only get in <\/span>premium models<\/span><\/a>, include repair kits that let you patch-up the mattress at home if it’s accidentally scratched. You might also get multiple sizes of inflatable nozzles in your car bed’s package. They will help match the bed’s air inlet with multiple inflatable ports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of Car Mattresses<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Following are different types of inflatable car beds:<\/span><\/p>\n

Multipurpose Car Air Bed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Their name makes it clear what multipurpose car air beds are all about. You can as easily use them in your car’s backseat as you can while camping outdoors. These beds have sturdy construction to help them withstand the rigors of outdoor usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Car Air Bed with Internal Pump<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some of the car mattresses you saw above have an internal pump. Going for them will save you from the nuisance of connecting a pump with the mattress every time you want to inflate it. This makes car beds with a built-in pump best for remote usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Car Air Bed with External Pump<\/b><\/h3>\n

Some manufacturers include manual pumps with their car air mattresses. Others, which charge a little extra for their products, might even throw in an electric pump. The electric pumps are highly convenient as they work by plugging directly into your car’s cigarette lighter.<\/span><\/p>\n

FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Q: What are the benefits of a car air mattress?<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the biggest benefits of having a car air mattress is its portability. One can easily carry it from one place to another, inflate it when it’s needed and deflate it when it has served its purpose before stowing it in the trunk of the vehicle \u2013 or inside the bag’s storage bag.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet another plus point of having an air bed is that it helps its user achieve custom firmness. That means you can set the bed as soft or as firm as you like. You only have to reduce its air for a smooth surface or add more air to get a firm finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Car air mattresses are also highly portable \u2013 you can use them as easily on the inside of your car as during outdoor activities. They, therefore, save you from spending money on getting different air mattresses for different activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How to pump up an inflatable car bed?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Follow these steps to pump up your inflatable car bed:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the valve on the car air mattress<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Connect it to the nozzle of either the manual or the electric pump<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Apply pressure manually (if you’re using a manual pump) or connect the pump to an electric outlet and turn it on (if you’re using an electric pump)<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Keep on applying pressure until the bad is firm enough for your liking<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Q: How to clean a car air mattress?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Here’s how you could clean your car air mattress:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Fill a large bowl with tap water<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Add a few drops of soap into the bowl<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Dampen a clean microfiber cloth with the soapy water<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Scrub every area of the air mattress with a damp microfiber cloth. You may have to scrub hard if the stains are stubborn. Let the mattress air-dry afterward.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Aside from being highly portable, the best car mattresses are incredibly convenient and provide their users with much-needed comfort. However, that doesn’t mean their utility is limited to the inside of your vehicle. Almost all the models you saw above will come in handy for outdoor activities too. You can thus count on them to be helpful in various scenarios. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
