Mattress pumps: what are and how to choose them?

Air mattresses - a thing very convenient and practical. They can be used both at home and in nature. However, for their inflation it is necessary to use special pumps, which today are presented in a wide range. We will talk about what they are, how to choose such a device correctly.

For a long time, the market leader was a manual or mechanical pump for pumping mattresses. He is quite popular today. It has a compact size, quite light weight, convenient and easy to use, and still has a wide range of uses. Today, such a portable pump is available in two forms.

Let's say right away - This is not the best option for pumping large mattresses. It is necessary to make all the necessary manipulations with hands and only in a half-bent position, moreover, due to the small volume of the device, the inflation process itself takes place rather slowly. But at the same time, such an adaptation compact and lightweightthat allows you to transport it comfortably even over the longest distances.

Foot mechanical unit is a more advanced model. When using it, there is no particular difficulty. The inflating process is performed by the feet. - all that is required from a person is only to make a special tab, and his legs can be easily changed as he gets tired. In addition, you can work just standing upright or, if necessary, holding the support, which does not cause additional inconvenience or stress on the spine.

Like the manual model, This has compact dimensions and light weight. The main advantage of mechanical pumps, regardless of their type, is compact size and low price. In addition, there are usually several different types of handpieces included with this device, which makes it possible to use them for inflating mattresses and other products of different sizes and different manufacturers.

Such an electrical unit is only considered highly specialized. Currently, it is used only in medical institutions to inflate and maintain the optimal density of medical mattresses for bedridden patients. The device works around the clock and only from direct connection to the mains. Such pumps are sold only in specialized stores, and they are not suitable for inflating ordinary home or camping / water mattresses. They have a very high cost and complex operating principle.

As the name implies, apart from the mattress itself, such a pump will not function. Built-in units are available in almost any inflatable furniture. They allow you to simply and quickly pump up inflatable furniture to a certain degree of rigidity. They do not need to be transported separately, but if the mattress itself breaks, then the pump will no longer be able to be used independently, since it also fails.

It is considered today the simplest and most convenient in operation. It has several varieties, but they all share big weight and quite high cost.

The battery model is the most popular and easy to use. All that is needed from a person is to connect the pump to the mattress and press the start button. The unit will do the rest on its own. True, in order for the device to serve for a long time and properly, it is sometimes necessary to recharge it, as indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions.

A pump with a battery, working from connecting to a car, is also very popular today. Such models are actively used by those who often travel. Indeed, at any time, with virtually no physical costs, you can pump up a mattress and a boat, and even pump up tires a little.

Battery-powered devices appeared relatively recently, but have already gained great popularity. They as well as the pumps of the previous type are more often used by those people who regularly travel. Such a unit can act as a spare when there is no possibility to use any other. But it is worth considering that without changing batteries, he can work only 2 cycles in a row.

All of the above types of mattress pumps are comfortable and versatile to use. However, in order for the purchased unit to serve really long and efficiently, it is necessary to choose products from proven brands.

Currently, pumps for mattresses are available for sale by many manufacturers, but for many years the company has been the undisputed market leader. Intex. This brand has won the trust of customers not only by the long term of its existence, but also by the highest quality products. It was Intex that became one of the first to put on sale mattresses with an already built-in pump, and the line of its mechanical units allows you to choose a device for every taste, color and wallet. Therefore, this brand is rightfully ranked first in the ranking.

In second place is the company Drillpro. Electric pumps from this manufacturer are quite popular and popular. Products designed to inflate and adjust the rigidity of mattresses, has a compact size and light weight.

The pump itself is made of high quality and safe materials. The great advantage, in addition to low prices, is the fact that almost every product is completed with several types of different nozzles, which allows you to significantly expand the scope of use of the device.

In the third place of the mini-rating, in the opinion of both specialists and ordinary customers, is the company's products. High Peak Akku Elektropumpe. In this case, we are talking about the battery models of this brand. They are the most durable, powerful and convenient to use, as well as completely safe. As can be seen from this rating, almost every type of pump is better to purchase from a particular manufacturer.

Before you go to the store for a new pump for the mattress, you should carefully study and put into practice the recommendations for his choice. Without taking them into account, it will be quite difficult to acquire a really high-quality, inexpensive and durable device to use. Therefore, first of all, one should pay attention to such nuances of further exploitation.

• Size folded. Most of the pumps for mattresses have a collapsible design. The smaller the volume in this form they occupy, the better and more practical they are. It will be convenient and traveling, and at home such a unit does not take up much space.
• Air capacity of the mattress itself. Everything is simple here - the bigger it is, the more modern and powerful the pump itself should be. Otherwise, its operation will be inconvenient and impractical, and pumping the mattress itself will take too much time.
• Frequency of use - the more often the unit will be used, the more comfortable and durable it should be. Power here should also be taken into account - high-power pumps will easily withstand even daily loads.
• The place of operation of the device itself. So, if you plan to use the unit in places without access to electricity, it is better to choose mechanical or battery models.

The manufacturer encloses a detailed instruction for its operation for each particular pump; it is this that must be carefully followed. In general, it should be remembered that:

• Use the pump only for its intended purpose;
• self-analysis of the unit should not be performed without proper skills;
• Only fully healthy adults are allowed to operate the pump;
