Deep Sleep - and Cheap

Are you looking for an easy-to-store bed to offer your guests? Or perhaps you’ve just landed in a new city and are still shopping for a “real” bed? Maybe you just go camping a lot and want some cushion. Whatever the reason, cheap air mattresses and air beds are available, pump included, for under $50.

You’ll see ads for expensive air mattresses that are designed to replace conventional beds, and many of these cost hundreds of dollars. But for a short-term bed or a guest mattress, do you really need something that expensive? Here is a selection of some air mattresses and air beds under $50, pump included, from some recognizable brand names. Instead of suggesting which retailers or online stores or to buy them at, I am providing a description of the model so you can find the best deal on your own, as prices and availability are subject to change. Be sure to check manufacturers websites as well as discount stores and Target.com for sales.

Air Beds Under $50: Simmons Beautyrest Express Airbed with Pump
To be honest, I was surprised that Simmons – one of “the” names in beds – offered any kind of air mattress under $50. Although it compares favorably to its competition, only the twin model is cheap enough to make the under $50 list. What are the advantages of the Simmons model? The pump plugs into an outlet, making it great for home use and eliminating the annoyance of batteries. At 6”, it’s higher than other air mattresses. To top it off, the Beautyrest Express Airbed even features push-button controls for adjustable firmness (great for finicky floor-crashers). And if you have any doubt about its sturdiness, it’s allegedly capable of handling 650 pounds.
