The AeroBed

What Is An AeroBed?

The AeroBed is a popular brand of inflatable bed/mattress produced by Aero Products International of Chicago. Today Aerobed is part of the Coleman group of companies.

History

Aerobed mattresses are probably best known for their
proprietary quick-inflate mechanism; in 1992 the company was granted a patent on a new way to inflate and deflate air beds rapidly. Using the new system, the beds could be fully inflated in 60 seconds and deflated in just 15. In 2002 this technology was improved still further with the introduction of the New & Improved Aerobed. The company continues to improve and fine tune its inflation technology.

Another major innovation in the range was the Raised Aerobed. This is designed to better mimic the look and feel of a "real" bed, being around three times higher than the usual inflatable mattress. A larger bed obviously takes longer to inflate instead of sixty seconds you might have to wait a whole 3 minutes! That's pretty impressive for an inflatable bed with a 22 inch high sleep surface.

Initially sales of Aerobeds were restricted to mail order channels such as catalogues and TV shopping channels. However from 1998 the company expanded distribution into retail outlets such as specialist bedroom shops and general apartment stores. Today you can buy them across the US, either directly or online.

The AeroBed Range

There are a large number of different Aerobed products available to buy in different sizes with various features and price points. They're currently divided into "indoor" an "outdoor" collections.

Indoor options range from the basic Guest Choice and Sleepover up to the top of the range Elevated with Mini Headboard and the Raised Signature Comfort Airbed with a height of 22".

Outdoor options for you to buy include the highly portable Aerobed Pakmat, the phthalate free EcoLite and the 14" high Raised Explorer bed. If you want to stay awake rather than sleep then the
company also sells the Collegiate Tailgater Chair available in maroon and black or limited edition red.

As well as the beds and mattresses themselves you can also buy a selection of accessories including pumps, spare parts, patch kits and mattress covers.
