Is it comfortable?
When the air mattress is first purchased you will discover that it is incredibly comfortable, however, unless you maintain the mattress, it can begin to show signs of wear and tear. You should purchase an air mattress that you can adjust the air to create the perfect platform to sleep on every night.
Usage
Some people like to use their air mattresses as a conventional mattress, and will place it on the box spring base. There are no problems with doing this, as long as you ensure that none of the springs are jagged as they may puncture the mattress.
