An air mattress is always a good thing to have tucked away in your closet. It’s super useful to have if you have guests over often or if you are moving into a new home and your mattress still hasn’t arrived. However, sleeping on an air mattress isn’t the most comfortable thing in the world. Especially, if you have to sleep on it for more than one night. Air mattresses take a toll on the body over time.

That’s why it’s a good idea to make it as comfortable as possible even if you are using it just for one night. On the bright side, there are plenty of ways to make an air mattress more comfortable. Today we will show you some simple tricks to making your temporary bed nearly as good as a real one.

How To Make An Air Mattress More Comfortable
Air mattresses have improved in quality and comfort over the years. At first, they were essentially large pool floats, however, now they can self-inflate, reach bed height, and have a cover of soft fabric on top. But even with all those improvements it isn’t even nearly as comfortable as an actual mattress with a bed frame. On the bright side, there are still some ways you can make the experience more comfortable. We will share with you some simple tricks to help make the air mattress as close to a normal bed as possible.

#Add a mattress topper
This is one of the easiest ways to make an air mattress more comfortable. Simply add a mattress topper. Even a basic egg crate topper will be enough to create some extra cushioning and make the mattress more pressure-relieving. Depending on what you prefer you can go for a thinner or thicker mattress topper. This will help make the mattress feel more like a bed and the surface will be better for your body. No more waking up feeling stiff as a board!

#Make sure it is inflated properly
The key to a comfortable air mattress is making sure that the bed is properly inflated. When you get on it, it should feel comfortable. If it is inflated way too much it will feel hard and stiff when you lay on it. This will make it feel like you are sleeping on the floor and will cause you to wake up with sore shoulders, especially if you sleep on your side. However, an air mattress that isn’t inflated enough won’t be able to give you the proper support you need. You will feel smothered as your bed engulfs you. This will also cause stiff shoulders, and you won’t feel well-rested when you wake up.

#Get good bedding
Adding a fitted sheet, cozy comforter, and comfortable pillows to an air mattress is a must. These seemingly small additions will make it feel like you are sleeping on a regular bed. Not only that but having a good pillow will help properly support your neck thus reducing the neck and shoulder pain the air mattress will usually induce. You need to make the mattress as close as possible to a normal bed.

#Put the bed on a softer surface
This is a simple, straightforward way to improve the overall quality of the mattress. When you put the mattress on a hard surface like hardwood floors or tiles, it can squeak, move around, and feel like you are sleeping on a plank. That’s why it is a good idea to move your mattress onto a softer surface like a rug. This will stop the bed from sliding around or squeaking when you move around. It will also make the bed feel softer.

#Use the wall as a headboard
Most beds are usually pushed against a wall or have some sort of headboard. However, you can put an air mattress pretty much anywhere. If you or your guest usually sleeps on a bed with a headboard or against the wall, then it’s a good idea to place the mattress in a similar spot. This may help to replicate the feeling of a normal bed. If you can’t push up the mattress against a wall, then against furniture will still get the job done. While this doesn’t make the bed magically more comfortable, it does make your brain accept it more as a normal bed which improves sleep quality.
