An inflatable bed is a portable mattress that can be filled with air to provide a comfortable sleeping surface. In simple terms, it’s a versatile bed solution that can be quickly inflated for overnight guests, camping trips, or temporary living spaces and easily deflated for storage.
Here’s why Australians love inflatable beds: they combine convenience, comfort, and space-saving functionality, making them ideal for apartments, guest rooms, or holiday homes. The main reason Australians choose inflatable beds is their flexibility — they can be stored compactly, transported easily, and used in a variety of sleeping arrangements without sacrificing comfort.
Modern inflatable beds are designed with built-in air pumps, supportive layers, and durable materials, offering a surprisingly comfortable alternative to traditional mattresses.
Inflatable beds come in a variety of designs to suit different needs and spaces:
Compact and lightweight, perfect for children’s rooms, solo travellers, or temporary guest solutions.
Provide ample space for couples or adults needing a full-sized sleeping surface in temporary or small spaces.
Offer a more traditional bed height, reducing strain when getting in and out, and often include built-in support layers for extra comfort.
Feature an additional cushioned layer or flocked top, mimicking a standard mattress’s soft and cozy feel.
Made from waterproof and durable materials, designed for outdoor use while remaining portable and lightweight.
Include electric or rechargeable pumps, enabling fast inflation and deflation, saving time and effort.
Extra-wide or dual-chamber designs allow independent air adjustments for two sleepers with differing comfort preferences.
Selecting the right inflatable bed involves considering size, comfort, portability, and durability. Here’s a practical guide for Australians:
Single: For children, solo sleepers, or small rooms.
Double/Queen: For adults or couples.
Extra-wide: For families or larger guest rooms.
Raised beds replicate standard bed height.
Lower-profile models suit floors or camping use.
Pillow-top and flocked surfaces improve softness and support.
PVC, vinyl, or reinforced polyester materials are standard.
Textured or flocked surfaces increase comfort and reduce slipping.
Look for anti-leak technology or reinforced seams for long-term use.
Manual pumps: Affordable but require effort.
Electric pumps: Convenient, faster, and often integrated into the mattress.
Rechargeable or battery-operated pumps: Ideal for outdoor or camping setups.
Ensure the deflated bed fits in storage bags or compact areas.
Lightweight models are best for travel or multi-room use.
Check the recommended maximum weight to ensure durability and comfort for intended users.
