Air Materess Sugestion?

[Falloutboy]

moving back into my own place and I currently don't have a bed, had one lined up from a friend to buy but that fell thru and I don't have the money to buy anything decent.

was thinking about getting a airmateress to get me by till I can afford something a decent bed anyone got any sugesstions of a good one that isn't overly expensive?

My suggestion is don't buy one.

What kind of budget? Get a futon or a cot.........

I'd just get an cot if your goal is to save up and buy a bed. A good futon or air matress is expensive.

only really can afford about 100-150, was going to buy my grandparents extra twin materess but they forgot that they already gave it away so I'm kinda in a bind

for $150 you could probably find a cheap twin matress, box, and metal frame. Better than an air bed.

or just spend a $100 on a matress and toss it on the floor........

I've been sleeping on a full size air mattress for 6 months now, and I have no intention of getting a so called 'real' bed any time soon. I grew up with a waterbed, and an air mattress feels a little like a water bed. I bought mine from Walmart for ~$44.

If there is a freecycle group in your town you might be able to pick up a mattress for free.

Just sleep on the floor.

Floor <<< Air Mattress

I can offer some advice here. There are some drawback with cheapo air mattres. First is the 4 sides tend to prop up more and this creates at least for me some very uncomfortable tension. Companies like to advertise those spots as air pillows for you head, but trust me it ain't too comfortable because they push back against ur head too hard. The center of the air mattress can also sink down more so that can create some discomfort. Those so can air springs they like to advertise on the box(that are suppose to better contour to your body) are really there to help support the structure, but the unfortunate side effect is that areas between them are more puffed up and it creates uncomfortable bumps.

Try to pick one out with the flattest looking top surface as possible and get a nice thick mattres pad. I was using a Kmart air mattress by coleman from kmart. Even though from the pictures the sides puffed up the least, it was still rather uncomfortalbe. I stuff 3 blankets, a thin foam, a very thick mattres pad, and a feather bed on it before it felt comfortable enough to sleep on...but thats just me.

Why not just get a cheap camping one from a sportings good store, it'll be about $60, its only temporary anyway, and they are pretty comfortable. But, I would just sleep on the floor.

..ya. don't waist yer money on them things. the cat messed up mine.

 

[Falloutboy]

yeah floor isn't an option, since this is temporary but temporary is a few months.

prolly just going to get a cheapo walymart one or something or get a aerobed. although i'll hit a materess store to see if I can get a twin or a double materess to just throw on the floor for around 100-150 if I can do that I might

go to wallyworld, they have a full size with built in wall-pluged air pumped mat for 50 clams.

i sleep on the original airbed.. its not a flat top, so get yourself a foam pad on top.. its worked fine for a while now.. i have a queen.. mine is from 2000.

A really good brand of blowup doll - the Air Materess.

Cheaper brands are the Air Port and the Air Dale.

You can find polyurethane matresses on eBay for real cheap. Top quality sleep for no more cash than the price of that air balloon you're considering.

 

[Falloutboy]

are you talking about those memory foam things? are they anygood?

 

[NanoStuff]

They're probably as good as a mattress can get. Ever seen those Tempur Pedic commercials? Same material, only MUCH cheaper without Tempur-Pedic stamped on it.
