airbed

Blow-up sleeping surface

An airbed is an inflatable mattress, typically made of plastic or rubber, that can be filled with air for sleeping and deflated for storage or transport.

Airbeds range from simple pool floats to substantial guest beds with built-in electric pumps.

In British usage, airbed often refers to what Americans call an air mattress.

We keep an airbed in the closet for when guests stay over.
