Our recommendations of air beds or sleeping mats
Comfort Quest Inflatable Airbed
Enjoy a comfortable night sleep after a heavy day of drinking. Practical, comfortable, and a breeze to inflate, the Comfort Quest Deluxe Airbed is perfect for enjoying luxury comfort at festivals or on camping trips.
The airbed is made from tough pre-tested vinyl to withstand a heavy amount of wear and tear. In the unlikely event that it does get damaged, a repair patch is conveniently included. The airbed has a velvety soft flocked surface to provide superior comfort with or without a bed sheet.
Unlike many inflatables, the airbed has a robust coil beam construction. As the bed is inflated, the internal coil beams harden to provide the support and stability of a real mattress. The result is a more comfortable sleep, free from the aches and pains that are common with sleeping mats.
A one-way valve allows you to rapidly inflate the airbed without it losing any air. Simply unscrew the top cap and attach a pump to inflate. Remove the middle cap to allow air to escape and deflate the airbed.
Available in sizes single or double.
