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 is the country's biggest seller of adjustable air beds thanks to their popular Sleep Number bed ad campaigns and television advertisements. The major feature on their Sleep Number models is that each sleeper can designate his or her own personalized firmness setting without affecting the other person.

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 has built their brand on a strong guarantee that allows customers to try their product at home for 30 days. Within that 30 day period, buyers may return the product with no hassle or questions asked. However, the buyer will own the responsibility of paying shipment costs to return the unit. Given the size and weight of the boxes, this would amount to a fairly hefty return charge.

ComfortAire Beds

ComfortAire started producing air beds in 1981, making them a predecessor to the more popular Select Comfort Sleep Number bed.

Like Select Comfort, ComfortAire's beds use a single air bladder that is inflated and deflated using an air blower system. Sleepers plug their bed and air pump into the wall and then use a small remote to control the firmness on their own side of the bed. Twin or single versions of the ComfortAire adjustable air mattress are also available.

Self Adjusting Technology SAT Bed

The SAT, or Self-Adjusting Technology, bed is significantly different from the Select Comfort and ComfortAire sleep air bed systems. Instead of using a dual or single air chamber system, the SAT bed utilizes hundreds if independent air chambers which inflate and deflate without the aid of a motorized pump or electricity. Like a Tempur-Pedic design, the bed is made to conform to your adjusting body weight, size and position.

The SAT bed has less electrical technology that can malfunction. However, given that the mattress contains hundreds of individual valves, each can potentially leak and cause problems. Because of this, consumers are advised to purchase a bed with a strong warranty or buy from a retailer that is able to offer ongoing inexpensive repair and customer support.

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.

Because the Habitat sleep air bed is custom built, they cost a fraction of what the factory-built beds cost, and you get high-quality materials like Natural Latex, strength-tested stitching or vulcanized rubber.

Other than a fresh coat of paint, there is just no easier nor more cost-effective way to completely change the look of many rooms in your home than to add some new cushiony comforts with a few casually placed and thoughtfully selected decorative throw pillows.

I have had three sofas in my life over the last decade or so, but you would think I redecorated my living room monthly. What’s my secret? Among my collection of personal home d

Kingsdown Mattress has been manufacturing high-quality mattresses for over 100 years. They have been around much longer than more contemporary competitors such as Select Comfort, Tempurpedic, and more inexpensive mattresses, but have a lengthy history of popular models.

To learn more about each of the company's six major product lines and designs, keep reading.

Body System

The Kingsdown Mattress Body System mattress features a full surround and edge-to-edge comfort layer, a cushion cloud construction and a full coil box spring, meaning it's engineered to work with your mattress to provide give, support and weight distribution in the right places that would help most people.

Body Blend

The Body Blend sleep system from Kingsdown offers consumers the company's patented full coil box springs, their edge-to-edge comfort layer and a conforming mattress that both cradles you and supports you.

Body Essential

The Kingsdown Mattress Body Essential system is the company's entry-level mattress system. Traditional and classic, it's comfortable, durable and very supportive. Customers still get the benefits of all the features of a Kingsdown higher quality mattress, but not the pillow-top or extra height found on most deluxe models.

The Kingsdown Body Duet Mattress

The Kingsdown Duet sleep system was engineered for couples. Basically, the bed is custom built with two different sleep surfaces, each customized for you and your spouse. Because the bed is divided into separate sleep sectors, you're also less likely to disturb one another's sleep or experience discomfort due to movement in the bed.

Body Caress

This is the Kingsdown Mattress company's luxury and deluxe mattress model. The coils inside this mattress are a triple-coil design, meaning there are three coils inside each individual spring. This unique design is engineered to offer conforming support that's geared to be responsive to your body movement.

Because the Caress is a luxury mattress, it's outfitted with a memory foam comfort layer and high-quality fabric construction.

The Kingsdown Body Motion Mattress

The Body Motion Mattress is a motorized bed that can be individually adjusted for extra comfort. In addition to that adjustability, the Body Motion includes a coil box spring, edge-to-edge comfort layer, conforming support and the cloud comfort Kingsdown system.

Sleepers can elevate their head or feet, with both sides of the bed separated to ensure each can control their own preferred settings.

Background on the Business

Kingsdown Mattress was founded in 1904 in Mebane, North Carolina, though it was originally called the Mebane Bedding Company. Back then, and still today, the mattresses and box springs are hand-constructed to help ensure quality and durability.

Today, you can find more information on the Kingsdown Mattress company by visiting their website at kingsdown.com or a local, high-end mattress retailer. None of their mattress offerings are cheap, but all have a good historical reputation.

The search for an appropriate air bed doesn't mean you are limited to the Select Comfort products (good as they are). Nor does it mean it is not to be found among other inexpensive mattresses. There are options.

An Aero Air Bed mattress is a great solution for your guest room, next camping trip, sofa bed or flexible bedding needs. Because they're inflatable and durable, you can store them easily, while still counting on them to last.

So, if you're planning to buy an Aero Air Bed, read on for a review of the company's three most popular mattress lines.

AeroBed Original

There are six classic design styles under the AeroBed Original banner, but they're all designed for comfortable, indoor use. The newest design in the Aerobed Original line are the Kids' beds, which are ergonomically designed and sized just for children. They're ideal for overnight stays at the grandparents' or as an extra bed on trips.

If you're buying an Aero air bed mattress to use as a guest bed, you may want to consider the Aerobed Premier Comfort Raised Bed. Because the bed is raised off the floor, it has the appearance and comfort of a traditional bed, but without the cost or the same limitations on floor on space.

The Active Aero Air Bed Mattress

There are six distinct models of Aero air beds that carry the Active distinction - each with a specific use and design.

The different brands and models include this group.

* The Convertible Sofa Bed, a pretty easily convertible and inflatable sofa bed system
* The Overnighter, an Aerobed mattress with its own backpack carrying case
* The Adventure, a camping bed
* The Sport Minute Bed, a camping mattress made for occasional use
* The All-Terrain, a rugged mattress with a hands-free pump, and
* The Quick Pool, an inflatable mini-pool designed for recreational use

AeroBed Extreme

An Aero Air Bed mattress in their extreme line is designed for rigorous outdoor use, making them the best choice for extended camping trips, extreme temperatures or rough elements.

There are 5 product models that fall under the Aero Air Bed Xtreme product line. They include

* The Light Camp Mat
* The Ultra Light Camp Mat
* The Performa Light
* The Endura Bed, and
* The Big Man Self-Inflating Camp Mat

The most popular is the Big Man Self-Inflating Camp Mat, which provides an increased sleeping surface without sacrificing packing weight or too much space.

So, if you need a camping mat but are tired of rolling off a standard, napkin-sized sleeping mat, consider giving the Aero Air Bed Mattress Big Man camping mat a try. It's big enough to be comfortable, but light enough to pack for miles.
