A bed air — more commonly referred to as an air bed or air mattress — is an inflatable sleeping surface that uses air chambers to provide support, comfort and adjustable firmness. In simple terms, it’s a mattress you fill with air, letting you tailor how firm or soft it feels by adjusting the air level. These portable beds are ideal for guests, travel, temporary sleeping arrangements, and even everyday use when comfort and flexibility matter.
Here’s why this matters: air beds are highly versatile and can be used in bedrooms, guest rooms, camping trips and even outdoor entertaining spaces. The main reason Australians love a bed air is its adjustable comfort, space efficiency and ease of storage, which makes it a practical addition to homes of all sizes.
Bed air options come in a range of designs and features to suit different needs and preferences across Australia.
These basic models are simple inflatable mattresses — affordable, easy to set up and perfect for occasional overnight use.
Also known as elevated air beds, these sit higher off the floor and mimic the height of traditional beds, making them easier to get in and out of.
Available in multiple sizes — from single to king — these air beds suit different room layouts and guest needs.
These include a soft, built‑in cushion layer on top of the air mattress for extra comfort and a more traditional mattress feel.
Some air beds have dual chambers or built‑in pumps that allow different firmness levels on each side — ideal for couples with different comfort preferences.
Designed for outdoor use, these bed airs are lightweight, rugged and often include water‑resistant tops and compact carry bags.
With built‑in electric pumps, these air beds inflate/deflate quickly with the touch of a button — excellent for regular use or guest rooms.
Choosing the right bed air depends on size, comfort, durability, ease of use and purpose.
Occasional guests: Standard air beds or budget options are ideal.
Regular use: Choose raised, pillow‑top or adjustable firmness models.
Camping: Lightweight, rugged camping air mattresses are best.
Measure your space and decide whether you need a single, double, queen or king bed air. Larger sizes offer more comfort but need more storage space.
Look for pillow tops, flocked surfaces or dual chambers for enhanced comfort and body support.
Built‑in electric pumps are convenient for home use.
External pumps allow portability and compact storage.
High‑quality PVC or reinforced materials help prevent leaks and wear. Seams should be strong and well‑finished.
Features like carry bags, repair kits, anti‑slip bases and raised edges improve overall usability.
While affordable options are great for occasional use, investing in a premium bed air with comfort features ensures longer life and better sleep quality.
A bed air is more than just an inflatable mattress — it’s a multi‑purpose sleeping solution that adds flexibility and comfort to Australian homes.
Perfect for accommodating overnight visitors without investing in a second bed.
Lightweight air beds make sleeping outdoors or in holiday homes comfortable and convenient.
Some Australians use high‑quality raised or pillow‑top air beds as everyday mattresses, particularly in small apartments or rental homes.
Dual‑chamber air beds allow different firmness levels on each side — ideal for couples.
When deflated, bed air mattresses fold into a compact size, making them easy to store in wardrobes or linen cupboards.
Raised air beds can help people who find it difficult to climb into low mattresses — particularly useful in multi‑generational homes.
