You will find here information on the air bed frame and the best place to find it online.

An air bed frame is crucial if you want to set up your own air bed. Getting an air bed is a great investment. Not only it is extremely comfortable and it can be used in the bedroom for a permanent sleeping arrangement that replaces a traditional mattress and box spring, but it is cheaper than a traditional bed as well. It also offers more support because this mattress resides inside a very soft but strong inflated frame. You can tuck your bed sheets very easily into the frame and you have superior pillowed head board that gives you additional comfort. Some can easily open into two separate air beds if they are needed to split the beds.

The air bed frame consists of l-beam that gives a stable base and various tubular chambers for the sides giving it additional support and strength. It incorporates the latest in folding technology using strong steel legs, a mattress enclosure as well as some really durable nylon webbing. The mattress is hold in place securely by a nylon cover that encases the frame and zips around the mattress, giving it additional support.

It is important to note that when you set up your air bed frame, it should be longer than the space you need for your bed because the mattress, once is inflated, needs to be inserted into the fully open bed frame, and to properly work to set it all up, you will need space for movement behind the mattress. Also keep in mind that the frame is quite heavy and it's bulkier than the actual mattress. Storing it on a closet shelf is not an option.

Usually the air bed frame is tested with a 'static load test' whereby a test load is placed evenly on the frame. The bedframe passes the test if it holds a 600 pounds capacity.

Some of the air bed frames are folding which means that they give you additional comfort of being off-the-ground combined with having an inflatable mattress. When you purchase such a bed frame make sure that it contains the air pump as well so you can inflate the mattress properly. When you set up your bed you need to unfold the frame, insert the pump and simply inflate the bed. It is really simple to setup.

If you already have an air bed, you can buy the air bed frame separately. When you purchase the frame it will come with its own storage bag which will make it easy for you to store it when no longer in use, particularly that this frame folds to compact size that allows easy storage and portability.

College students are perfect candidates for an air bed frame. This is because they are usually sharing the place with other students so sleeping on the floor many times is a necessity. This way they can have their own bed that they can inflate and then pack away when the bed is no longer needed. 

For more information on your sleeping comfort and how it is effected by an air bed frame, along with various physical, psychological and physiological conditions, I recommend Back and Bed: Ergonomic Aspects of Sleeping. It is a bit pricey but if you have sleeping problems due to ergonomic alignments of your bed, I highly recommend it. It has been a good investment for me from the time I bought it from Amazon.
