When buying a camping air bed, put your money into overall strength. You don't need all the fancy remotes or comfort features, just make sure the durability can handle the rigor of camping.
Air Bed Specs That Matter
Material:
- Look for 20 gauge vinyl or higher. Don't measure the strength by weight capacity alone.
- No-stretch vinyl is considered the best material for camping mattresses. The no-stretch material is 95% less likely to be punctured.
Price:
- $60 - $100 - It's hard to find a 20 gauge vinyl air bed under $50. Camping beds over $100 are usually overpriced unless they have some added comfort features.

Features:
- Don't be oversold on features. Just make sure the main feature is the strength of the mattress.
Pump:
