See The 10 Best Single Air Beds on Ezvid Wiki ►►
Fact #1. Air beds were originally conceived out of a nautical need. Steamships wanted a more space-efficient alternative to the hair-filled mattresses they'd been using. Being able to deflate beds and stow them away while the crew members were awake was quite helpful. It didn't hurt that they could also use them as flotation devices in the event of an accident on the high seas.
Fact #2. Long before mattresses companies or pioneers created rubber air mattresses, a 16th-century upholsterer took a stab at them. A Frenchman made a bed from waxed canvas that was filled with air. Unfortunately, while this material may have worked fine for other projects, it was not designed to sustain high air pressure and burst rather quickly.
Fact #3. While you may not be willing to swap out your regular bed for an air bed, you should consider adding one to your home. These portable, flexible items come in handy often. First of all, if you travel a lot with your family, then you need all the tools possible to help you save money on those trips. Many hotels charge for rollaways, but you can easily pack one of these beds and give everyone somewhere comfortable to sleep at no extra charge.
Fact #4. Another benefit of these beds is their adjustability. Most allow you to adjust the firmness. Research has shown that no one level of firmness is perfect for everyone. The best firmness for you depends on the position in which you sleep, and other conditions like arthritis and sleep apnea.
Fact #5. When deflated, these beds take up very little space. If you have a small apartment and your living room doubles as a bedroom, these can give you the illusion of more space. When you wake up in the morning, you can simply deflate the bed and put it in your closet.
