Today, many people are familiar with air mattresses, also known as inflatable beds. They are mobile, lightweight beds that can be manually or automatically inflated with air.
These beds make a perfect addition for homes in Ireland, and come in handy when you have extra guests.

Self-inflating mattresses come in different sizes, but the most common is queen or double size. Due to their comfort and versatility, higher quality air beds can even be used as a regular, everyday bed.
I know this very well – because I used one for over 4 months at one stage in my Dublin apartment. So I know firsthand the importance of having a quality air mattress in the event that you do not have a bed yet. Or if you want to make extra sleeping space for a guest.

FAQS
Is it OK to leave the Airbed Inflated?
Not for long periods, i.e weeks at a time.
Although air mattress are obviously designed to be inflated and deflated, doing these actions frequently can put excess pressure on the seams and greatly reduce the life-span of the mattress.
What are the Main Benefits of an Air Bed/Mattress?
There are four main benefits to using an air mattress: price, comfort, function and portability.
First – Air beds are very affordable.
They are much much cheaper than traditional beds and mattresses. So much that you can even find them at 30euros. However, I would advise on spending a little more than that as a good investment, especially if you are moving into a new space and cannot afford a brand new bed just yet.
Second – They are very comfortable.
A lot of air mattresses are ergonomically designed to contour to the body and provide support where needed.
Third – Air mattresses are multifunctional.
Air beds can be used as a regular bed, an extra bed or even a camping bed. And this versatility for their very low price is what makes them really incredible.
Fourth – They are very portable.
Air mattresses can be inflated or deflated easily and transported in a carrying case. Pack it up, easy, go!
All in all, air mattresses are extremely convenient and would make a good addition for every Irish home
What are the Disadvantages of an Air mattress?
An inflatable mattress is not known for the support it provides. While it might be okay to sleep on once in a while, long-term use could lead to back pain and stiffness.
Without adequate support, your spine will be out of alignment, and so you won’t have a good sleep.
Final Words
And there we have it.
As I already mentioned earlier, inflatable beds can be a great addition to any home in Ireland for various reasons. They are perfect for guests who need a place to stay, for new home movers or for people who want an extra bed for their home.
