An air mattress is basically an inflatable mattress which is either inflated manually or with the help of an air mattress pump. These Simmons air mattresses have the advantage of being portable and are very user friendly. You can set this type of mattress up almost anywhere by inflating it, and when you’ve finished using it or you need some space, you easily deflate it, pack it away and keep it aside.

Saving time
An air mattress with pump tends to save a lot of time when you need your mattress, as compared to inflating it manually by blowing in air with your mouth. Some air mattress pumps are manual, whereas others are electrically operated – the manual ones require you to push the mattress pump which then pushes air into the mattress and inflates it.

Electronic help
However, newer air mattress pumps tend to be automatic and electronically controlled. All you need to do is just plug it in, connect the other end to the air mattress, set the amount of air that you wish to set your bed level to and it’s done – all at the touch of a button.

Disadvantages
Users of the mattress pump tend to be very happy with their purchases as the pumps are quick and easy to use, and are very efficient at doing what they are supposed to do – this should save you some time and lots of energy. However the disadvantage of this type of mattress becomes evident when you want to deflate it and store it away. Deflation can take an age with the likes of the Stearns And Foster mattress, and if you’re short on time this can become a real pain.

There are benefits as well as disadvantages associated with both manual and electronic pumps. Most people would avoid using manual pumps as they usually require you to put in a lot of energy. As for electric pumps, the only disadvantage is that you need to have a power source or battery, to connect it to and get it working.
