It might be time to upgrade your inflatable mattress

To find your visiting relative a great extra bed, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested six twin-size inflatable mattresses for how well they held air overnight and for durability. Then testers rated the ease of inflating and deflating, and comfort.

The winners: The Eddie Bauer Insta-Bed ($82) triumphed for its superior leak-resistance. Consumers gave it a gold star for comfort, looks and its hands-free, electricity-powered inflation and deflation. The puncture-resistant Aero Sport All-Terrain Bed with Dual Power Pump ($80) is great at home or for camping. The battery-pack pump can be charged in a house outlet or a car.
