Best Air Beds for Guests & Family in the UK

The Amazon Basics Premium Airbed is a sturdy and very comfortable model, made of PVC with soft and flocky viscose-fibre top. It has hard sides to improve your sleep quality and prevent you from rolling off the bed during sleep. The pillow rest provides extra 6–7 cm of lift for back and side sleepers.

The bed has a single air chamber, which means you should be able to easily fix air leaks if you happen to damage the mattress. With a user's convenience in mind, Amazon company supplies this bed with a heavy-duty patch, to ensure that you can quickly and effortlessly seal and repair any seam rip or tiny hole. When deflated and folded, the air bed can be easily stored in the neat bag that comes in the package.

You don't need to worry about blowing the mattress up, as the built-in air pump features a unique fan system that is able to inflate or deflate this spacious bed in just 3-4 minutes. All you need to do is unscrew the valve, attach the pump, and then set the dial to a preferable position. When blown, this bed makes 203.2 x 152.4 x 45.7 cm. A great alternative to a regular couch, isn't it?

This particular single air bed comes with 21 structured air coils that provide exceptional support for one person. Not only the design but the high-quality materials make the mattress sturdy yet soft and comfortable. The back sleepers will definitely enjoy the built-in raised pillow that supports a neck and head preventing strains and pain. In addition, the outer side of this bed is covered with a waterproof flocky coating making the bed very versatile and camping-friendly. Even though the materials are extra thick and robust, you can roll the mattress to tiny dimensions and fit it in a small bag of 50 x 34 x 22 cm.

Looking for an affordable air bed with an extra comfortable flocked sleeping surface? The Bestway Comfort Quest series provides inflatable mattresses of different sizes (from single to queen) that are reasonably priced and packed with handy heavy-duty repair patches. In this brief review, we would like to tell you about the double option. It is manufactured from pre-tested vinyl which makes the model fairly lightweight (3.1 kg) taking into account its impressive dimensions (190.5 x 137.2 x 21.6 cm). The height of this blow-up bed makes it a perfect option for camping because it easily fits any tent. Furthermore, the sturdy coil beam construction keeps air from moving around so that you stay warm during cold nights, and provides the superior back support. The flocked surface keeps bed sheets from sliding.

The inflation/deflation screw valve is easy to use and accepts all pumps, both electric and manually powered. A manual pump will be a good choice for outdoor use. However, if you're going to use this mattress on the beach, don't expose the top coating to salted water, otherwise, you may damage it. Also, we don't recommend you to try blowing it up by yourself.

Firm and durable, this double height air bed is perfect for outdoor use. Despite this mattress is of king size, it easily folds and rolls into the tiny storage bag that is attached right to the bed. The Maxi Comfort Bed is raised 47 cm off the ground, which is the perfect height for sitting and quickly getting on and off the inflatable mat. To provide exquisite comfort and thorough support for your body, this air bed has 35 coils and a smooth flocked surface preventing bed sheets from sliding and rolling.

This model is made of robust puncture-resistant laminated PVC. It has a thickness of 0.4 mm at the bottom and 0.6 mm at the top and can hold up to 270 kg. A special airtight system called Advanced Double Lock Valve System has a two-valve sealing point to prevent air leaks. Plus, the inflation and deflation will take less time. If the inflation goes way too long, check whether you've accidentally pushed the pump adapter too far. If you have, pull it back. The Coleman 4D battery QuickPump will inflate the mattress in less than 10 minutes.

Offered in different size options, the UKHobby Air Bed & Electric Air Pump Bundle set has everything to provide a comfy temporary berth for your guests! It's also a great option to take with you for camping or hiking. The electric pump is truly versatile since it can be plugged into a regular socket or into your car cigarette lighter. It does its job quickly and has multipurpose valves that suit other inflatable devices, except for balloons and balls.

The UKHobby Store bed comes in green and blue colours and is available in three size options — single, king, and double. Each of them has a simple and durable coil beam construction that can easily accommodate more than 1 person ( it goes for a single option too). As for the sleeping surface, it is pretty comfortable. You can inflate the bed using the convenient screw valve; just remove the tiny cap and attach the inflation/deflation electric pump. This valve allows the air to flow in only one direction, preventing any possible leaks. These beds, however, are a bit smaller than full-size beds but still, standard bed linen will fit them well. Overall, the price and quality of this bed are quite reasonable considering the fact that you get a pump and a mattress made of such robust and durable materials.
