Summary Of Air Beds To Enjoy A Sound Night’s Sleep

If you’re having trouble with your sleep, air mattresses may be just what you need. Since the early 80s, the adjustable air beds market has opened, and a number of manufacturers are offering high-quality air beds designed for the discerning couple with differing sleep needs.

If you’re curious about sleep air bed mattresses, read on for an overview of the country’s largest air bed makers.

Select Comfort Sleep Number Beds

Select Comfort has built a large brand presence with their Sleep Number beds and extensive ad campaigns. The basics of their basic product is that it allows a couple to adjust each individual side of the bed to the comfort level of firmness that they each sleep most comfortably with.

The air levels in the Select Comfort Sleep Number bed are controlled using an automatic pump and a remote control operated by the bed’s sleeper. Because the bed needs electricity for the pump, it won’t function during a power failure, but it also won’t deflate.

Select Comfort also offers its customers a 30-night trial period that lets you check out the sleep air bed in the comfort of your own home. If you dislike it or don’t find it comfortable, you can return it with no questions offered. However, most customers will be responsible for shipping and handling charges - a not so inexpensive charge for sending it back.

ComfortAire Sleep Air Bed Technology

ComfortAire started producing air beds in 1981, making them a predecessor to the more popular Select Comfort Sleep Number bed.

Like Select Comfort, ComfortAire’s beds use a single air bladder that is inflated and deflated using an air blower system. Sleepers plug their bed and air pump into the wall and then use a small remote to control the firmness on their own side of the bed. Twin or single versions of the ComfortAire adjustable air mattress are also available.

Self Adjusting Technology SAT Bed

Unlike the ComfortAire or Sleep Comfort systems, the SAT bed uses hundreds of self inflating and deflating cylindrical air chambers that fill up with or release air as your body weight moves around during sleep. Like a Tempur-Pedic design, the bed is made to conform to your adjusting body weight, size and position.

Because the SAT bed is comprised of hundreds of independent valves and cylinders, it’s more susceptible to malfunctions, leaks or maintenance problems. Consumers should look for a retailer that offers a strong guarantee or buy their products right from the manufacturer.

Habitat Furnishings

Habitat Furnishings will actually build you a made-to-order sleep air bed. Either through their website or telephone order system, you can indicate the style of mattress you want, the materials used and the structural components. Then, they’ll build your mattress and send it to you.

Because the Habitat sleep air bed is custom built, they cost a fraction of what the factory-built beds cost, and you get high-quality materials like Natural Latex, strength-tested stitching or vulcanized rubber.
