air bed

Blow-up sleeping surface

An air bed is a mattress inflated with air, used for camping or as temporary sleeping arrangements for guests.

Also called an air mattress.

Unlike a waterbed, an air bed can be deflated and stored compactly: We keep an air bed in the closet for when family visits.
