Your first thought when you hear the word “air mattress” is the familiar camp scene, with the pump up air mattress.  While these air mattresses still exist (and they have greatly improved through the years!) twin mattresses or air beds as they are also called are also available on the market and a true advancement in a comfortable mattress.  The mattress is not constructed of the same material as the camp mattresses.

Today’s air beds are often used in guest rooms, and there are some comparable limitations between air beds and a standard bed.

Let’s take a look at the twin air mattress.  Twin air mattresses are much cheaper than a standard mattress.  When you begin to consider that the mattress is mostly made up of air, it is understandable that it should be considerably less expensive.  Consumers that find themselves on a limited budget will definitely find air beds a much better cost alternative to standard mattresses. Aside from cost, there are other pros and cons of the twin air mattress, which are outlined below.
