If you're looking for an adjustable air bed for your home, read on for an overview of the 4 most popular air bed manufacturers. Please note that these beds are designed for everyday home use and are not inflatable guest or camping beds.
ComfortAire
ComfortAire is the original air bed company, having first started manufacturing their patented customized air bed systems in 1981.
All ComfortAire mattresses are complemented by the company's patented WhisperFlo air control systems which suction air in and out of the mattress' air chambers without making an excessive amount of noise. So, say goodbye to vacuum-loud air beds, and start relaxing with the whisper-quiet ComfortAire.
Select Comfort
The Sleep Number adjustable air bed system is probably the most well-known thanks to the manufacturer's aggressive ad campaigns and over 475 retail locations across the United States and Canada. The bed's major feature is that users can set a specific "sleep number" that designates their preferred firmness level.
For example, if your husband prefers a soft bed while you prefer a firm one, you can both use a personal remote to control the firmness level on your own side of the bed, without affecting the comfort or sleep of the person next to you.
One of Select Comfort's biggest selling features may be their 30-day home trial guarantee. Prospective buyers can purchase a bed and try it out at home for 30 days. If they don't like it or are uncomfortable, they may return the mattress for a full refund.
SAT (Self Adjusting Technology) Bed
The SAT (Self Adjusting Technology) Bed is a fairly revolutionary adjustable air bed that doesn't use pumps, engines, motors or sensors. The SAT mattress is instead composed of hundreds of independent air chamber cylinders, each one equipped with a pressure relief valve.
Basically, every time you move on the bed, the air chambers underneath you let out air while those around you fill up with air and conform to your body. The design is engineered to relieve pressure points and provide conforming support. Though the SAT bed doesn't use electronic technology, there are still a number of components that can possibly malfunction, so SAT adjustable air bed owners need to be prepared for possible maintenance.
Habitat Furnishings Custom-Built Air Beds
Habitat Furnishings is a high-quality furniture manufacture that will make you a custom-ordered and custom-built adjustable air bed. They allow you to determine the materials you want to use, set your comfort levels and even order a custom, specialty size. And since the beds are made to order, they're often significantly cheaper than the factory-made competition.
