Australia's trusted resource for air mattress reviews, guides, and expert advice
AirMattress.au was founded in 2019 by a group of passionate Australians who shared a common frustration: finding reliable, honest information about air mattresses was nearly impossible. Whether we were preparing for camping trips through the Australian outback, setting up comfortable guest rooms for visiting family, or helping friends find temporary sleeping solutions during moves, we found ourselves wading through endless marketing fluff and unhelpful product descriptions.
That frustration sparked an idea. What if there was a dedicated resource—created by Australians, for Australians—that provided genuinely useful information about inflatable beds? We set out to create exactly that, and AirMattress.au was born.
Our team brings together diverse expertise that makes us uniquely qualified to evaluate air mattresses. We have avid campers who have spent countless nights in tents across Tasmania's wilderness, the red centre of the Northern Territory, and the beaches of Queensland. We have interior design enthusiasts who understand the importance of comfortable guest accommodations. We have parents who know firsthand the challenges of finding safe, practical sleeping solutions for families.
What unites us is our commitment to thorough, hands-on testing. Every air mattress we recommend has been inflated, slept on, packed up, and evaluated by at least two team members. We assess firmness retention over multiple nights, test pump efficiency with stopwatch accuracy, examine seam construction under magnification, and even conduct controlled puncture resistance tests on material samples. We measure actual dimensions (which often differ from manufacturer claims), weigh packed sizes, and evaluate real-world portability.
We believe in transparency. When we say a mattress is suitable for camping, we've actually taken it camping—in Australian conditions, dealing with Australian temperatures and terrain. When we recommend a product for everyday use, team members have used it as a primary sleeping surface for extended periods. We understand the difference between the coil-beam construction of budget models and the advanced Fiber-Tech internal structures of premium options. We know why flocked tops matter for sheet grip and why raised edges prevent roll-off.
Our reviews cover the full spectrum from budget-friendly options under $50 to luxury air beds exceeding $300. We evaluate products across all major categories: compact camping mattresses designed for backpacking, rugged outdoor models built for family camping, elegant raised guest beds for home use, and premium everyday options with hotel-quality comfort.
We're committed to remaining independent and honest. While we do earn affiliate commissions when you purchase through our links (this helps fund our testing and keeps the site running), our recommendations are never influenced by commission rates. We've declined partnerships with brands that couldn't meet our quality standards, and we regularly update our reviews when products are discontinued or superseded by better options.
Our educational content goes beyond simple product recommendations. We create comprehensive guides on topics like proper inflation techniques, leak prevention and repair, storage best practices, and safety considerations for families with children or pets. We want you to not only find the right air mattress but also get the most out of it for years to come.
