"ZZZ" On Air: Here Are The 5 Best Inflatable Mattresses For Different Budgets

When you’re too bougie for a sleeping bag, an inflatable mattress is the closest you’ll get to a real bed. Whether you’re going camping or spending the night someplace, an air mattress is good to have on hand.

Did you know there are health benefits to using an inflatable mattress, provided you buy the right one for your body type and specific sleep needs?

According to Avacare Medical Blog, “Air mattresses allow for better blood circulation. Moreover, since it is possible to change pressure points by shifting position, an air mattress always provides a fresh feel. Pressure can be increased or decreased to suit the sleeper’s specific needs.”

Here are five great inflatable mattresses you can purchase on Amazon.
