Drive-On-Tough Airbed
 |
“We routinely park large vehicles on them,” says Terry Hanrahan, TD3 Products, LLC, maker of Truck-bedz. “They are 7 to 10 times the strength of Coleman, Aerobed or other airbeds on the market.”
Hanrahan allows that the company does also sell a more conventional airbed. The Weekender series (starting at $69) is similar to other velour flocked airbeds on the market. He says it fits consumers on a tighter budget.
However, you get what you pay for. The Weekender series is rated at 400 to 650 lbs. burst strength. Truck-bedz Expedition series (starting at $169) have been rated to 4,000 lbs. capacity.
“Our original cloth Expedition series airbedss are constructed from a thick 420 denier nylon fabric,” explains Hanrahan. “The fabric is laminated to a TPU urethane to give outstanding strength, abrasion and puncture resistance for real world use.”
The material is the same as is used for premium level backpacks, life jackets and airplane escape slides. The Truck-bedz air beds are designed to inflate in 60 sec. and deflate just as fast. They come standard with a high flow air pump that plugs into the dash and has a 19-ft. cord.
Truck-bedz offers 22 models of their premium bed, shaped to fit around wheel wells to offer the maximum sleeping surface. Truck-bedz claims to have an airbed to fit nearly every pickup and SUV sold in America. They even offer a queen-size version for use in tents ($199.95).
