What is a Flocked Air Mattress?

Get a Good Night’s Sleep from Anywhere 

Waking up refreshed and renewed – from anywhere – begins with a flocked top air mattress.

A comfortable bed can upgrade your sleeping experience from “average” to “blissful” whether you’re at home or in the great outdoors. 

So, what makes some air mattresses more comfortable than others? It could be one feature that puts it over the top: flocking.

What’s a flocked top air mattress?

A flocked top (what we call “Soft Top”) refers to a material used on the surface of the air mattress. This soft, velvet-like material mimics fabric, instead of PVC plastic, which provides sleepers with a more comfortable sleeping space.

What are the benefits of a flocked top air mattress?

Just because you’re not in the comfort of your own home doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice a good night’s sleep.

Flocked top air mattresses provide a softer, more comfortable sleep surface that eliminates the need for sheets. It reduces the items you need to pack if you have limited space for the getaway to the great outdoors, or it simplifies your setup if you don’t happen to have extra sheets for overnight guests. 

If you still prefer using sheets, flocking provides more slip-resistance than traditional air mattresses, so you don't have to worry about your bed sheets slipping off the corners in the middle of the night.

For those cooler nights, flocked top air mattresses can provide additional warmth when you need it most. And, if you’re camping in chillier temperatures, Bestway® also has air mattresses with a velvet-like Premium Soft Top sleep surface that traps air to provide more cushion, comfort and support – when you need it most!

If style is a top priority, add an extra “layer” of fun with our sleek and trendy Fashion Flock™ air mattresses. With all the same benefits as our Soft Top air mattresses, these air mattresses feature aesthetically pleasing patterns and colors on the sleep surface. 

No matter which flocked top air mattress you choose, Bestway has a wide selection that fits every style, comfort level and budget.
