Air Mattress

Why Is An Air Mattress Pressure Gauge Important?

Typically air beds have mattresses that are able to be inflated and deflated independently, but without a proper air mattress pressure gauge, these beds do have the tendency to "bottom out" if the weight being put on them is too high.

The result is a mattress that is too uncomfortable to sleep on. The same holds true for a single mattress or twin size mattresses that are connected together, a rolling effect may take place where one sleeper is jostled when the other one lies down or moves. Sleepers that are trying to reduce back pain may inflate the mattress too much, resulting in a mattress that is too uncomfortable for the head and legs.

In many instances, air mattresses will need to be deflated quite often, perhaps even daily. For example, air beds that are used on camping trips or for temporary use in the home, will be deflated often. It is necessary to reduce the size of the air bed for easier storage, and sometimes the process can be time consuming.

In those instances where the bed is going to be used again fairly soon, it would be easier to be able to re-inflate the bed to a pre-determined level so that the same amount of comfort is achieved each time the bed is inflated and this is where a pressure gauge comes in handy.

As you can see, there are many benefits to having an air mattress pressure gauge - there will be improved comfort and ease of adjustability, it can prevent the air mattress from "bottoming out" and growing too uncomfortable to sleep on, and it can make inflation and deflation that much easier, bringing the mattress back to a comfortable sleeping level.

Since the gauge is used for measuring air pressure inside of any of the air chambers of the mattress, users typically opt for the digital display since it is much easier to read.

The beauty of these types of gauges is that they typically come integrated into the air mattress that you purchase, so you do not need to worry about purchasing one separately. Regardless of whether you have a queen size air mattress or a double size, using a gauge will help you ensure that it's inflated properly and comfortably at all times.
