Depending on how you sleep, air mattresses may be the right choice for you. With a range of companies selling high-quality air beds that are customizable and adjustable, you may just find the perfect sleep solution for both you and your spouse.

To learn more about buying a sleep air bed, keep reading for a review of the 4 largest manufacturers. Remember though, the beds covered are those designed for everyday use rather than inflatable beds intended as guest beds or pool toys.

Select Comfort Sleep Number Beds

Select Comfort has built a large brand presence with their Sleep Number beds and extensive ad campaigns. The basics of their basic product is that it allows a couple to adjust each individual side of the bed to the comfort level of firmness that they each sleep most comfortably with.

The air levels in the Select Comfort Sleep Number bed are controlled using an automatic pump and a remote control operated by the bed’s sleeper. Because the bed needs electricity for the pump, it won’t function during a power failure, but it also won’t deflate.

Select Comfort also offers its customers a 30-night trial period that lets you check out the sleep air bed in the comfort of your own home. If you dislike it or don’t find it comfortable, you can return it with no questions offered. However, most customers will be responsible for shipping and handling charges – a not so inexpensive charge for sending it back.

ComfortAire Sleep Air Bed Technology

ComfortAire was the country’s first manufacturer of adjustable air beds. The company’s sleep bed technology system was first released in 1981, and they’re still a market leader today.

Like their Sleep Number counterparts, ComfortAire beds have a dual air chamber system that is controlled and operated using remotes adjusted by the bed’s sleepers. The remote tells an air pump to either inflate or deflate the bed, therefore adjusting the firmness and comfort level.

The SAT Mattress

Unlike the ComfortAire or Sleep Comfort systems, the SAT bed uses hundreds of self inflating and deflating cylindrical air chambers that fill up with or release air as your body weight moves around during sleep. Like a Tempur-Pedic design, the bed is made to conform to your adjusting body weight, size and position.

Because the SAT bed is comprised of hundreds of independent valves and cylinders, it’s more susceptible to malfunctions, leaks or maintenance problems. Consumers should look for a retailer that offers a strong guarantee or buy their products right from the manufacturer.

Habitat Custom Air Beds

Habitat Furnishings makes a totally customized sleep air bed that’s built just for you. Basically, you order the air bed, indicating the size and specific materials, and they make it using the best products and technology at their disposal.

The Habitat Furnishings sleep air bed is made-to-order, meaning it’s often cheaper than factory-produced competitors. You’ll also get a higher quality standard and can choose better materials like Latex and vulcanized rubber.
