With an air mattress, no matter how long you use it the inflation of air greatly helps to reduce chances of the mattress getting slumped.
• Simple inflation: even when it is your first time to use this type of mattress, you only need a good pump to inflate air in. in a period of just three to five minutes you will have put the mattress into its right size. This makes air mattresses better than memory foam mattresses that you have to give more than a day for them to expand into the right size.

• Uncomfortable trench design: air mattresses with two chambers have a slump that divides the chambers which makes the mattress uncomfortable to be used by more than two people.
• It is very delicate compared to other mattress types: you need to be extra careful with you air mattress or any slight accident with it will spoil it for good. Anything sharp that may get into contact with the mattress will completely spoil it which is not the case with other types that are extremely durable and not that sensitive.
• It can get costly in the long run: this is mainly because you will need to buy pumps every now and then. If not you will need to spend more money on an expensive pump.
• It comes with shorter warranty: unlike spring, latex or memory foam mattresses, an air mattress comes with shorter warranty so it in case of any damages you might have to pay for them personally or better yet buy a whole new mattress.
