air mattress

Pump-up sleeper

An air mattress is an inflatable mattress, typically made of vinyl or rubber, used as temporary bedding for guests or camping.

Air mattresses deflate for compact storage and inflate when needed, usually with a pump: We keep an air mattress in the closet for when friends stay over.

They range from basic camping pads to elevated designs resembling conventional beds.
