Air mattresses for camping or guests

Air mattresses, or air beds, are a flexible and practical solution that fits many situations and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. If you're going camping or to a festival, an inflatable air mattress gives you extra comfort so you don't have to lie on a thin sleeping mat or the hard ground in nature. If you have overnight guests, an air mattress is also ideal as an extra bed. It provides your guests with a soft and practical guest bed. When guests go home, the mattress can be easily deflated and packed away in the closet or under the bed without taking up much space.

Find everything for the outdoors and camping

Which air mattress should you choose?

Do you doubt which air mattress meets your needs? There are several factors you should consider. We've gathered the most important things so you can get an air mattress that matches your needs.

1. With or without a built-in pump

An air mattress with a built-in electric pump makes it quick and easy to inflate the mattress. A mattress without a pump, on the other hand, is often lighter and easier to transport. You'll need a manual pump, which is ideal if you're taking your air mattress into the great outdoors.

1. Single or double

For single use, a single air mattress is often sufficient and more compact. A double air mattress, on the other hand, offers more space and comfort, which is ideal for couples, guests or longer camping stays.

1. Comfort and material

Many air mattresses have a velour-coated surface that increases comfort and prevents the sleeping bag or sheet from sliding around. This is, therefore, also essential to look out for.

1. Transport and storage

If you need to carry your air mattress over long distances, weight is important to consider. Some models are lightweight and can be easily folded, while other models are larger and better suited for home use.

If you take these factors into account, you'll be able to find an air mattress that suits your particular situation - whether it's camping, festivals or guests.

Don't forget a pump for your air mattress

When buying an air mattress, it's important to check if it comes with a pump. If not, you should buy a suitable model to inflate the mattress quickly. At Biltema, you'll find several different pumps suitable for small and large air mattresses.

An electric pump is ideal if you want to save time and effort. It inflates the mattress in minutes. You can also choose between an easy-to-use foot pump or a classic air pump that requires hand power. We also have double-acting hand pumps that pump air in with both upward and downward movements, making the process faster.

When purchasing a pump, it's important to consider how you'll be using the air mattress. If you're taking it on a camping holiday trip, choose a pump that's easy to carry and doesn't require electricity. And if you just use your air mattress at home, you'll want to go for an electric pump.

4 tips to get the most out of your air mattress

We've put together a few tips to help you get the best experience and extend the life of your mattress.

1. Use an underlay for extra protection

Always place your air mattress on a soft or protective base - especially when camping. This protects against sharp stones, branches or uneven surfaces that can puncture the mattress.

1. Inflate the mattress correctly

Avoid over-inflating the mattress, as too much air can create pressure on the seams and material. It's also uncomfortable to lie on if it's too hard. Therefore, inflate it so it is firm but still has some flexibility.

1. Store the mattress correctly

When the mattress is not in use, it should be completely deflated and stored in a dry place - protected from moisture. This will prevent damage to the material.

1. Keep a repair kit on hand

Even the best air mattresses can puncture. That's why it's a good idea to always have a small repair kit with you to patch small holes and cracks quickly.

By following these tips, you can ensure your air mattress gives you maximum comfort.

FAQ

Why does my air mattress lose air?

An air mattress can lose air due to small holes or leaking valves. The air mattress does not need to have visible damage to lose air. Air leakage occurs over time - especially if the mattress is used frequently or overloaded.

How many kilos can an air mattress hold?

The maximum weight an air mattress can support depends on the model. Single mattresses typically have a weight limit of 100-150kg, while double models can often handle 200-300kg. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications to avoid overloading.

Which air mattress is best?

The best air mattress depends on your needs. For camping, a lightweight and durable model is ideal, while a mattress with a built-in electric pump is great for home use. Mattresses with velour coverings provide extra comfort, and double models are best if more space is needed.
