5in1 Inflatable Sofa Beds


5in1 Inflatable Sofa Beds



Here's your challenge: you have a small apartment or dorm, you move a lot or you have a spare home and need furniture. Do you go out and buy new or used furniture to cram in there or is there another option?


Of course there's another option: 5x1 inflatable furniture.


What is a 5x1 inflatable?


A 5x1 inflatable is a blow up furniture product that can be used in 5 different positions: a bed, a sofa, a booster bed, a recliner and a lounger. The item is made of PVC plastic and has three separate chambers that can be filled with air with an air pump. Depending on the chambers that are filled, the 5x1 can take different shapes. The three chambers are the backrest and arms, sitting area and the base. Each chamber is independent and can be inflated or deflated separately.


Are they durable?


Depending on the use of the products, 5x1s can be used for many years. The key to their longevity is to:


•Don't over inflate them


•Keep kids and pets off of them (no bouncing or claws)


•Keep them away from heaters or really hot days on the pavement (though you may not notice the PVC melting, heat will weaken it)


•Save the patch kits that come with the item (you may need them at some point)


Who buys 5x1 Inflatables?


Anyone really, but if we had to classify it:


•College students or the parents of college students


•Military personnel who move around a lot or are stuck in Afghanistan or Iraq (thank you for your service by the way)


•People who live in small apartments such as singles or one bed rooms (think Brooklyn)


•People who have vacation homes (worried about your beach home getting flooded from time to time? if these come in contact with water, they won't be ruined)


•Tailgaters. Going to a game? These inflatables make great tailgating furniture.


•5x1 inflatables make great camping furniture. Just make sure you have a rechargeable pump to inflate them, but during the day - 5x1s are great chairs and sofas. At night, you already have your bed (note: keep them away from flames or any sticks or rocks that might puncture them).


Where can one purchase 5x1 inflatables?


You can find inflatable furniture on large sites like Amazon.com or smaller niche sites like AirBedWarehouse.com.
