A raised queen air bed is an affordable alternative to a regular bed when you are furnishing your starter home. But just as every bed isn't alike, air beds also differ. When it comes to finding the best elevated airbed, you need to start with the basics. These basics include the bed height, bed style, accessories, and price.
Air beds, even raised air beds, come in a range of heights. The lowest elevated air mattress is about 14" in height. The tallest is over 22" in height. That difference in height might not be a problem when you first move into your new home, but getting in and out of a low bed is darn near impossible when you're carrying a baby.
Air Mattress
You can buy Raised Queen Air Beds in a variety of styles. Some of these styles are geared toward temporary use. But the style that works best for most people who are using the airbed for daily sleeping is a double mattress model with a bed frame. Using two mattresses provides protection in case one gets punctured.
The bed frame is really just a wall that extends upward from the lower mattress. It helps hold the upper mattress in place, and provides more stability to the entire airbed. The frame also provides a place to tuck in your sheets and blankets to keep them in place.
Another style factor is the weight of the airbed. A heavier airbed is generally made of a higher gauge of PVC, and that spells thicker, longer lasting walls.
Yet another style factor is built-in headboards or pillow humps. A headboard stops the pillow from falling over the top end of the air bed. Pillow humps are low raised sections in the area where most pillows sit. The humps provide a resting area, should the pillow fall on the floor.
Accessories that you might consider for a Raised Queen Air Mattress include a heavy tarp, an electric pump, and linens to fit your air bed. The tarp is used to protect the bottom of your air bed from any sharp spots on the floor. A small staple or nail head can raise havoc with the air pressure in your bed.
If your bed comes with a pump, then your search is somewhat limited. It does pay to try to locate a pump that senses the pressure in your bed and turns on to reinflate it when it gets low. But if your bed doesn't come with a pump, you'll want to find one that is as quick and quiet as possible.
Since the top mattress of your Raised Queen Air Bed can come in a range of lengths, widths and thicknesses, it pays to buy a couple sets of sheets and mattress pads that fit your specific model. Look for a pocket size that matches the depth of your mattress, and you'll be extra happy!
One final item that you should never be without is a good patch kit. It is almost guaranteed that you'll get a leak in your air mattress at some point. By being prepared with a patch kit, you can fix a small problem before it becomes a big problem.
While you can find a Raised Queen Air Mattress for as little as . But if you are buying an airbed for daily use, plan on spending close to 0. The lower end mattresses are good for occasional use, but not daily use.
No matter how good your airbed is, it will occasionally get an air leak. You can find additional help on the internet on how to find and repair leaks in air mattresses.
So when you are considering an elevated air bed for your new home, make sure you consider the bed height, style, accessories and price before your order that Raised Queen Air Bed.
