In addition to the single airbed, you can get very lightweight sleeping mattresses in the shops that are far thinner and are usually just simple sleeping bags that are usually used by people who go camping or who are backpackers.
There are many good points that you get with having a single airbed but there can be problems from a safety point of view which need to be taken into consideration.
The major one is to make sure that younger children or babies do not sleep on them as there is the risk that they can fold inwards and there is the risk of suffocating in them.
These are major considerations that have to be considered and the other dangers that there are with other camping equipment.
It has been known that there have been instances where some materials that have been used are in fact toxic.
This risk has now been reduced due to strict guidelines and the checking procedures that the airbeds are put through in order for them to be passed.
When you are shopping on the high street in future you need to bear this in mind.
Single airbeds have many different forms such as an air or inflatable mattresses.
Advantages of a single airbed are that it can be put down and then put away into a much smaller place until needed to be used again.
They can practically be taken anywhere for an overnight stay.
Air can be pumped into them in a very quick way.
