The Fabric
The quality will determine longevity and reliability of an air mattress. Most of the times it depends of what kind of purpose will it be used for. Some will not be as flexible and durable as others, so you need to check what you need and what kind of air mattress you are looking at in the store. Camping air bed will be stronger then one that is used in the home. Simply because the first one has to survive a lot more dangers that are outdoors.

Comfort and Support
Besides the fabric, the design determines the support and quality of the air mattress. If you have a mattress pad on top, you know that it will be more comfortable to sleep on it. Added cushioning and protection means that it's a higher class product. Does it have a one touch control for adjustment and is there a construction solution that prevents sagging? If yes, then you have a good product on your hand.   

The Way Mattress Inflates
You can blow air inside using your lungs. These are the basic models. But you can also find those that are inflated with hand pumps and electric air pumps. We suggest these because they will take a lot less time to inflate. If you do it all manually, you will probably fall asleep on the couch.

Durability And Construction

Lots of consumers are looking at the plastic quality of the air mattress. It is important part of the deal, but there is much more to it. You won't be able to guess that by only looking at it, because it sometimes may look thin, while it actually isn't. You better check out the welds that grip the whole mattress together. They are important here and good welds are what will determine the durability. When you check them and see that they are made in the right way, you can be assured that these will last long.

Finding the best air mattress is not an easy task, but when you know this, you are closer to your goal. Apply this knowledge and you don't have to worry about the quality of the next air bed you will buy.
