An air mattress is an inflatable mattress that comes in a number of configurations. These configurations start from the basic vinyl inflatable mattresses to the more complex bubble compartmentalized mattresses. When you decide to choose such a mattress, perhaps this guide here can help you.
First of all, I am introducing queen sized air mattresses, so size is not an issue here, all queen-sized mattresses must be 60″ X 80″, 152.5cm X 203.5cm, the depth of the mattress can differ, but the length and width are set.
The considerations you need to look at are deflated storage size, quality of the material for outdoor use and the overall thickness of the mattress.

Camping Air Mattress – Which is Better?
Unlike foam or spring mattresses, an inflatable mattress will not project uneven surfaces, unless you happen to buy a very thin one and place it on a very rock surface, which would most probably end up puncturing it unless you made it out of Kevlar.
The airtightness and air valve have to be 100% secured, the seams must be perfectly designed, and the valve should be a stopcock-type valve where the air goes in but cannot come out due to internal pressure.
Since a queen size mattress is large, and in most cases, you would want one that is around 4″ thick, you would need to consider how to blow it up. This is not a beach ball, and an air compressor or hand bellows would be the best accessory to have to accompany your air mattress.
To sum up this section, a camping air mattress must be designed using thick rugged materials that withstand rough surfaces and have a rugged air valve. Its best to buy a thicker model, but one that is foldable to compact storage dimensions.
In this article I presented you with five different options to choose from, each one is the best in its category, from extra thick King Coil at 20″ to the thin Lightspeed at 7″, each one comes with its own level of comfort and performance, self-inflation devices, and provide the best queen mattress solutions to camping.
