Air mattresses have been recognised as a temporary sleeping solution for many years. If you are going on a camping trip, or simply need to accommodate guests in your home, then an air mattress can be an affordable and easy to use solution. The problem is that air mattresses often have a reputation for being uncomfortable. So is it really possible to get a good night’s sleep on an air mattress?
One of the most important things to remember is that it’s often a good idea to get some advice from experts like The Sleep Judge on what sort of air mattress is best for you. There are some that are more suitable for use indoors than they are on a camping trip, for instance. Whatever your reason for needing an air mattress, there are some tips to remember in order to ensure that you get the best sleep possible.
Space is good
If you are going to invest in an air mattress then it’s a good idea to buy a double one if possible. If you have people to stay, and they are sleeping on an air mattress, chances are they will have a far more restful night’s sleep if they have room to move without falling off the edge of the mattress.
Treat an air mattress like you would a bed
Sleep is a really important aspect of anyone’s regular routine, so you want to make sure that anyone staying in your home gets a restful night’s sleep. If you use air mattresses for guests to sleep on it can be really tempting to just throw a couple of sheets on top to cover the person. This is not a good way of making sure that they sleep well. It’s a good idea to make up an air mattress the way you would a regular bed; your guests will be far more comfortable.
Reduce the squeak level
Where you place an air mattress may not seem that important, but it actually is. They have a reputation for making squeaking noise as they move in the night. This will happen especially if you place an air mattress on a hard wood floor. You should choose a carpeted location or place a rug or blanket under the air mattress to reduce noise levels.
Keep pets away
If you want an air mattress to stay inflated then it’s best to keep it away from inquisitive cats and dogs. Don’t forget that, as lovable as your pets may be, they have claws and claws and air mattresses do not make for a good combination.
The fact is that it is possible to sleep comfortably on an air mattress. You need to make the right initial choice of mattress and then you need to optimise the comfort levels in the sleeping environment, and of the mattress itself. Hopefully, our tips will help you do just that.
