An air mattress is a great way to provide extra sleeping accommodations, especially if you don't have a spare bedroom or plan to host several guests for a weekend. And don't worry if you're looking for something that won't leave your guests sore and tired the next day — at Good Housekeeping, our Textiles Lab tested several to find the best air mattresses available.

Then, you control the firmness with the one-touch adjustable comfort button on the mattress.
