Off Grid Power Supply

...or any type of air mattress that doesn't leak, Seems a bit bizarre. Design an air mattress that doesn't hold air and then add an automatic electric air pump to solve the problem? Weird.

The pressure will go up and down according to temperature, usually down as everything cools overnight. I've started many a night on different inflatable mattresses with the pressure just right only to find it sagging in the morning when the air inside has cooled down. It must be a smart mattress. :-)

An air mattress must surely be the work of the Devil! On the other hand, self inflating mattresses are almost perfect.

We took a double self inflater on a 10 day trip down the Birdsville Track, to Muloorina & Level Post Bay, to see the water in Lake Eyre, back in 2011. Good, comfortable sleep every night, temps down to single digits, but being a double, it was a team effort each morning to roll it into a manageable size. 2 singles would be the preferred arrangement, I’d suggest.

Hang on - agree it should not go down and does seem a weird arrangement but as it has a pump as designed why not make it work - a pump to fill a mattress is not going to use much power - find out how much likewise if it is only going to kick in when the sensor detects a lowering of pressure then there will not be much power consumption at all.

I suspect a small inverter - say max 600w will probably do (depends on pump draw) - $120 or so on ebay and you wont need pure sine wave but get one anyway to make it more flexible to use. An inverter that size will not use much power itself when on and the pump only running occasionally will not use much - probably only a couple of Ah overnight out of a good 12v aux battery.

As Bob says........"work of the Devil".......... spends all night leaking down and pumping up, then you wake up to a flat battery. The Devil and his friends!

Yep try it out at home , sleep on it , because without weight on it it possibly won’t leak much at all.
Other than that it sounds too complicated, I like to keep things simple.
And have slept on various air beds . we have 2 singles the width of a queen so a fitted sheet works well on them , 2 singles like this has a lot less affect bouncing the partner around.
Good luck
