A Queen Size Air Mattress Can Come in Handy

My wife and I like to travel as often as possible, and we have found that there are certain must-haves whenever we decide to leave town. We always take a fan with us, in case there are none in the hotel or bed and breakfast where we stay. We always bring plenty of drinking water in case the tap water is not any good, and we always make sure to bring our queen size air mattress. The reality is that this has come in handy on more occasions than I can remember, and I would never leave home without it.

One of the first things that my wife and I noticed about the queen size air mattress was how firm and comfortable it was. We both expected for it to sag, or pop, but it really doesn't. I spent about $50 on it when I originally bought it, and had some terrible misgivings about the thing as soon as I left the store. All it took was one night of sleeping on it, however, for me to realize that this was a great investment and would probably be useful for years to come. It has definitely proved to be just that.

The first time that the queen size air mattress really came in handy was when we were on a trip with another couple in the mountains. We were staying in a beautiful log cabin with great amenities, but the beds in each of the cabins were terribly uncomfortable. The other couple we were staying with said they were not sure they were going to be able to sleep through the night, and they opted to sleep on the couch and a chair. Fortunately, my wife and I had the queen size air mattress with us, and we slept like babies on that the three days we were there.

On another occasion two years ago, we were having a family reunion and had a number of people show up that we did not expect to be there. Never ones to turn anyone away, we managed to make sleeping arrangements for everyone who did not already have a place to sleep except for my cousin and his wife. That was when we remembered the queen size air mattress and aired it up for them. Both of them commented the next day on how comfortable it was and how grateful they were that we had it.

A queen size air mattress can really come in handy. It is not something that most of us would think about as a must-have on a trip, but my wife and I bring it with us wherever we go these days.
