Tips for choosing
When buying, you should pay attention to the following points:

- The presence of a pump in the kit.
- For summer cottages or nature, it is best to purchase an inflatable bed with a hand pump.
- Product quality. Pay attention to the joints - they should be even, without any defects.
- The coating used. Flock is perfect for sleeping. It provides a unique sensation and comfort. He doesn't need a mattress. However, this coating is difficult to wash and takes a long time to dry. Plastic sheeting is not recommended because it gives static electricity to the laundry, and it is uncomfortable to sleep on it due to the slipping of the laundry.
- Fastening of inner ribs. There are solid longitudinal and dotted ones. Point attachments are not recommended, since if one point breaks, the entire product will fail.
- Manufacturer. By purchasing cheap products, you are guaranteed to risk getting into trouble with the product, since an inexpensive cost is a guarantee of a low-quality product. Such models quickly fail - within a couple of months, while more expensive ones can last at least 2 years. In addition, in expensive models, the structure is more complex, which ensures greater rigidity. Therefore, give preference to well-known brands when buying.

- Do not leave it near pets.
- Protect from heating appliances and sunlight.
