Do you have a double air mattress? If so, you already felt what it feels like to sleep on it. Double airbeds are very comfortable to sleep on because they provide extra comfort that ordinary beds cannot provide. If you’ve seen double air mattresses before, they’re exactly the same as double air beds, only thinner. Most people who have an airbed actually sleep better compared to those who don’t as it is softer and thicker than other beds. To help extend the longevity of your airbed, here are some helpful tips.
1. Don’t inflate it too much. If you over-inflate the bed, there is a chance that it will overstretch and the seams will tear. Just because it’s thick doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a limit. Even if you want your twin air mattress to be firmer than usual, avoid doing so to prevent bursting. The best thing you can do is fill the bed with just the right amount of air and seal it. Try lying on it to see if it needs more air. If the air is not enough, add a little more but if you see that the bed is already too bright to burst, let some air out.
2. Place a block between the bed and the ground. It can be a piece of wood or a sturdy mat. This is to protect your double airbed from sharp, hard objects on the ground that can puncture and destroy it. There are these types of grasses called razors that can damage your bed. To avoid problems like this, don’t forget to put a barrier between the bed and the floor at all times.
3. Put a tarp over your bed before you lie on it. This is also one of the techniques to help prevent your bed from getting damaged. If the bed is exposed, they tend to get destroyed by the sharp, rough edges of your sleeping bag.
4. Clean your air bed regularly. Always keep your air mattress clean. By gently tapping the sides and back of the bed until all the dirt comes off, you have cleaned the bed. However, if you want to do a deeper clean, take a cloth and dampen it with soapy water and wipe down the entire bed. Some campers use rubbing alcohol to clean their airbeds, you may want to use this too. Never forget to dry your air bed before putting the sheets on it.
It is very important to know how to properly care for your airbed to ensure that it lasts a long time. If you do this, you will never have to keep buying a new one from time to time because you have maintained the functionality and durability of your airbed.
