Shop Affordable Air Bed Mattresses

Our cheap air bed mattresses cover two practical sleeping solutions in a single collection. Inflatable air beds provide a raised, cushioned surface suited to guest rooms and temporary indoor setups, while self-inflating camping mats are built for outdoor use, sitting lower to the ground and designed to compress for easy transport in tents, campervans, and vehicles. Both types are available across single, king single, double, and queen sizes to suit solo sleepers and couples alike. For those exploring a more long-term sleeping arrangement alongside either option, our full mattress range covers a broad variety of types and budgets, and a warm quilt or doona layers well with either product type for added comfort. Customers consistently rate us highly on Trustpilot for delivery speed and service.

Inflatable Air Beds and Camping Mats: What's the Difference

The two product types in this range are built for different environments, and the right choice comes down to how and where you plan to use it. Inflatable air beds reach heights of 40cm and above, giving a sleeping surface that sits much closer to the height of a standard bed. This makes them a strong choice for guest rooms, post-renovation setups, or any situation where someone needs to sleep comfortably indoors without a permanent bed. If you want a fold-flat guest option that does not require inflation at all, our folding mattress range is worth comparing before deciding.

Self-inflating camping mats use a foam core that expands on its own when unrolled, with a valve to top up the firmness. The lower profile suits sleeping bags, tent floors, and outdoor setups where packing space is limited. For anyone who needs a compact sleeping option but wants something more substantial than a camping mat, our mattress in a box range delivers a rolled format with more permanent comfort layers.

Selecting the Right Size for the Space

Getting the size right means thinking about both the number of sleepers and the floor area available. Larger sizes give more sleeping room but take up more space once inflated, which is a real consideration in smaller tents, compact spare rooms, or van setups. A single is the most portable and least space-intensive across both inflatable and camping mat styles, while a king single suits taller adults who need a bit more length. Double and queen sizes are better suited to couples or anyone who wants a more generous sleeping surface when floor space is not a constraint.

For indoor use, placing a mattress protector over an inflatable air bed keeps the surface hygienic between uses and protects the material from general wear. A fitted sheet set in the matching size improves comfort and prevents bedding from slipping on the inflated surface overnight.

Improving Comfort and Warmth

Inflatable air beds and camping mats can feel cooler than a conventional mattress, particularly in unheated spaces or outdoors. Laying a mattress topper over an inflatable air bed adds a cushioned surface layer and provides insulation between the sleeper and the cold air inside the mattress, which makes a noticeable difference on colder nights. For camping use, a quality blanket or sleeping bag keeps warmth in without adding bulk to a packed kit.

The right pillow also matters more than most people account for. A compact travel pillow suits outdoor or camping setups and packs away neatly, while a standard pillow from our range is the better choice for a guest room where portability is not a factor.

When an Air Bed Is the Right Choice

A cheap air bed mattress is one of the most practical ways to manage a sleeping arrangement without committing to permanent furniture. Whether for camping trips, hosting visiting family, travel, or a temporary setup during a home renovation, both the inflatable and self-inflating options in our range are straightforward to set up and easy to move between locations. For shoppers who find themselves using a spare air bed frequently and want to build out a more complete bedroom setup, our bedroom packages bring together a frame, base, and bedding in a coordinated selection that replaces the need for a temporary sleeping solution altogether.

Which air bed mattress size suits guests, couples, or solo sleepers?

Choose size based on who will sleep on it most often and how much floor space you can spare. A single or king single suits solo sleepers and tighter rooms, while a double or queen usually feels better for couples. Factory Buys stocks Australian standard mattress sizes, so match your usual size first.

What room or tent measurements should I check before ordering?

Measure the usable area where the air bed will sit, not just the overall room or tent size. Allow space for doors, walkways, and tent walls that slope inward. Compare your measurements to the air bed’s inflated length and width on the product listing, and check height if you need it to fit under shelves or low tent ceilings.

Which features matter most: built-in pump, height, and puncture resistance?

A built in pump can make setup faster, but check whether it is mains powered or battery powered and whether an external pump is required. Height affects comfort and how easy it is to get in and out. For durability, check material thickness, reinforced construction notes, and whether a repair patch is included in the box.

How do I inflate, deflate, and store the air bed quickly?

Use the included pump or a compatible pump listed in the specifications, and inflate until firm without overfilling. Let it settle for a few minutes, then top up if needed. To deflate, open the valve fully and fold in sections to push air out efficiently. Make sure it is dry before packing, and check the listing for the packed size if storage space is tight.

What delivery, warranty, and returns apply if it arrives damaged?
