Coleman Air Mattresses Category:
This has got to be the best bargain I’ve ever got for air mattresses! The Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed consists of two twin air mattresses you can use separately, convert into a king size bed by attaching them side-by-side, or convert into a high twin bed by stacking them together.

Use it for Camping or As Guest Beds
This versatility comes with an amazing price two-thirds of a twin size Aerobed. I really couldn’t resist buying this even though I already own a raised twin size guest bed. If my friends come around unexpectedly I’ll have the beds ready!
I have used it both as camping bed and as guest bed. It’s very fast to inflate and deflate, and rolls up neatly when you don’t need it. The Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed is not self-inflating, but for such a price, what’s spending another $10-15 getting a manual pump?
Comfortable Enough
There are people who bought this as a permanent bed (wow…) because they thought it worked just as well. I’d say it really isn’t as comfortable as the real bed, it’s an air mattress after all, but it’s comfortable enough to sleep on for a few days.
“Still sleeping on the bed nightly, *still* working wonderfully! The ‘top’ mattress (when stacked) does need an occasional bit of air every few weeks, but no big deal.” – K V, reviewer from Amazon.
I’ve never had to refill the air mattress with air when I use it, but the longest I’ve ever slept on it without deflating it is one week. That was the first week when I bought it from Amazon. I figured that I should test it out as soon as possible so that if there were any leaks or problems I can send it back immediately.
I’ve had the Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed for a year now and I still love it. Click here to get it from Amazon now with free shipping, or read the other reviews from users: Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed

If you need a cot to go with the air mattress when out camping, you can get a better price for a whole set instead of buying the cot and air mattress separately. The Coleman Trailhead SpaceSaver Air Bed is the best air mattress with frame/cot set I found.
Coleman Trailhead SpaceSaver Air Bed
We bought this for our kid to use in our camping trips because she didn’t feel safe sleeping on the air mattress placed on the floor. The Coleman Trailhead SpaceSaver Air Bed is a combination of air mattress and cot that can be separated whenever necessary.
Coleman has some other (smaller) sizes with lower prices, but I chose this size – 30″ x 80″, in hopes that a larger size will be able to withstand more weight and can be used by other taller people when occasion arises.
Lightweight and Easy to Store Away
I love the fact that it is very lightweight and portable. We go camping whenever there is a chance so it’s nice to pack up quickly and go. This air mattress comes with a carry bag and the aluminum frame folds up compactly, so easy to keep in the closet when not in use and bring to the car when we go camping.
The air mattress is not self-inflatable, so we use an electric pump to inflate it. A manual pump would do as well. I’ve tried sleeping in it and it’s pretty comfortable once you got the right firmness.
At first I was a bit doubtful that the frame would support a grown person since it was so light, but it didn’t fall into a crumple or even move around when I got onto it, so I guess it is sturdy enough. I’m not exactly petite, though not too big. The mattress is a bit narrow, military-style, so if you’re the sort who twist and turn a lot in sleep, you might have second thoughts about buying this.
What’s Not Good
When this set is fully put up or fully folded down, I have no complains about it. The troublesome part is setting it up, the notches are a bit tight. I knew this from other reviews I read before buying this but decided to give it a try anyway. A bit of practice does it; and I think this probably lends to the sturdiness of the frame, so I’m not complaining too much.
In all, the Coleman Trailhead SpaceSaver Air Bed is a good set of air mattress with cot, and you can save $20 – $100 compared to getting separate air mattress and cot.

I like this Coleman Double-Sized Quickbed! A friend chose this over the 4-in-1 Quickbed because this came with a separate electric pump and he didn’t need the versatility. He bought it for his camp trips with his girlfriend and claimed that it was $45 well-spent.

Very Firm
They joined my husband and I in one of our camp trips and I saw that the Coleman Double-Sized Quickbed is quite like the 4-in-1 Quickbed except for its color. It inflates reasonably fast – in about 3 minutes – and once inflated, it is very comfortable and sturdy. The coils make the air mattress firm and good for people with back ache to sleep on.
The top surface of this air mattress is a soft suede while the bottom is PVC that keeps away dirt and moisture. Perfect for camping! I think it is comfortable enough to sleep without sheets on, but it will fit any standard double size sheet.
The electric pump works well, it gets the air mattress inflated without using good ol’ arm strength, though it is a bit noisy when pumping. It also deflates the air mattress quickly. My friend takes the batteries out of the pump when he’s not using it because he found that they dry out quickly.
Compact for Two
Actually this air mattress is rather compact if you’re used to queen sized or king sized beds. Two lean people can sleep comfortably on this air mattress but it could be a tighter fit for bigger people. My friend is quite big and muscular but his girlfriend is so petite that this air mattress is just the right size.
Coleman Double-Sized Quickbed is such a bargain. For such a price, you can’t even get an Aerobed, not to say you can also use the electric pump for other air mattresses. So even if this air mattress didn’t last out (we popped quite a few air mattresses over the years, but Coleman held up well) you’d still have the pump.

My friend who knew I write air mattress reviews asked me to find him a good air mattress for car camping. Coleman makes the best camping air mattresses and again I found a great one from Coleman for car camping, the Coleman SUV Quickbed!
Coleman SUV Quickbed
Adjustable length
The length of this air mattress is just right to fit most SUVs like Tahoe, Suburban, Xterra, Explorer, Trailblazer, Honda Element, 4Runner, and Dodge Durango. But if you have a shorter space, this air mattress can also be filled up partially because it has separate chambers – one long and one short one.
“I really liked the fact that you can adjust the length. I have a Mazda5 and so needed to leave it shorter to avoid closing it in the door and popping it like the last mattress.” – Angie, at Amazon.
As for the width, it’s more or less like a twin sized bed so it won’t fill up the whole back of the SUV, but it’s wide enough for one adult, and about as comfortable as any air mattress.
This air mattress is also great for tent camping because the bottom plastic surface keeps away moisture and dirt while you sleep, and is very easy to wipe clean!
Need a Pump
You’ll have to buy a manual pump for this air mattress if you haven’t got one already. But that’s not a big deal because you can get one for as little as $10 – $15. Add that to the price of this Coleman SUV Quickbed and it is not even the price of an Aerobed.
After I told my friend about this, he bought it, and he has been camping in it ever since. In a summary, this is an affordable, easy to use and clean air mattress that is great for sleeping in an SUV. Check out other reviews for the Coleman SUV Quickbed here.
