Bamboo Cover air mattress review – 2023 update

This air mattress is a part of the “new wave” air mattresses.

It’s the second best in ratings and top choice in many statistical categories – the most important being durability and resistance to developing leaks.

It’s currently rated with an all-time high of 96/100 in the category of durability, which makes it the runner up. Let’s see what makes it tick.

Looking past the marketing lingo

This airbed is the first product coming from a company (website) that only used to sell other brands up to this point.

They’ve been in the industry since 2003 and once this airbed hit the market towards the end of 2016, the reaction in the industry was bordering on frenzy.

But we never take things at face value, we test and review the products before offering any conclusions. Here’s what we saw with this one.

The other airbed that’s as tough and made from a material that’s as puncture resistant is Fox Plush, which weighs almost twice as much as this airbed because the PVC is 43% thicker.

The durability of the material of Best Choice Bamboo doesn’t come from the fact that the PVC is thicker (like with the Fox Plush), but multi-layered and nylon encased. This makes it the only one of it’s kind on the market.

In terms of weight/packing size vs. durability and longevity there’s no better air bed out there.

The warranty period of this airbed is 1 year, which means that, according to our stats, there is just over 1 % chance that you will have to go through the hassle of replacing the bed.

This makes it one of the best air mattresses out there, especially in terms of reliability.

The laminate nylon-encasing doesn’t just make a difference in terms of being more resistant to punctures.

Probably the more important difference is the stretching of the material. Regular PVC stretches much more and this puts much more stress on the seams, which is why airbeds of lower quality develop invisible leaks at the seams.

If you owned a lower quality airbeds before you probably know what we’re talking about.

It’s not for people who prefer sleeping on soft air mattresses. Because the vinyl doesn’t stretch as much this inflatable bed doesn’t have that bouncy “quality” most air beds have.

This is a firm and stable air bed that feels and sleeps very similar to a regular spring or latex mattress.

Air mattresses with a topper, whether it’s memory foam or a pillow top fiber are usually much more expensive than this model. Alternatively, you can get a topper that will make the air mattress more comfortable and pay extra money for it.

At these numbers and percentages it’s not about quality anymore, but personal preference. Every air mattress with a consumer satisfaction of over 85 % can be called a high-quality airbed.

This is the airbed for you if you are looking for an air mattress that won’t be used once or twice and packed away in a shed.

It’s our opinion that this bed is one of the TOP 3 best value-for-money products you can get. We looked at it from any angles possible, from projected lifespan (which you can see below)

The fact that it comes with a topper at no extra charge to the fact that it’s versatile and can be used outdoors because it comes with a separate valve for manual inflation.
