A queen air mattress gives you a guest bed that packs into a bag. The main differences are height off the floor, the pump, the way the inside is built, and what comes in the box. Taller models are easier to get on and off; shorter ones inflate faster and pack smaller.
The six below range from 18 to 22 inches tall, with built-in pumps and either beam or coil-style interiors. Sizes, weights and included items come from each product’s listing page, and the makers’ comfort and support wording is described as theirs. We have not used these mattresses, and we leave out the listings’ comfort and body-support promises.
