Home and camping

An air mattress is an inflatable mattress, usually made of some sort of plastic. The deflated mattress can be rolled up and carried or stored relatively easily, making air mattresses a popular choice for camping trips and for temporary bedding at home for guests. Typically they are inflated either manually (by blowing into an opening) or with a pump.

Sizes are normally the same as with traditional mattresses: twin, full, queen, king, etc., and standard sheets should fit, albeit sometimes more snugly.

Some individuals who relocate frequently prefer an air mattress over a traditional mattress due to its portability.

Plush or Pillow soft mattresses:
A plush or pillow soft mattress is quilted with the foam stitched in a wide pattern. A plush bed usually has more foam than a firm mattress, often having as much as a pillow top. By quilting the foam in an open pattern, the mattress feels softer on top than a firm mattress, even though the support stays the same. This type of bed is recommended for those that want a medium feel without moving to a pillow top mattress.
