Talk:Air mattress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] About the paragraph 'External links'

The link in that paragraph is Advertising, isn't it? Put it away, or I'll do. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia and no Advertising website. Sorry for my bad English (If I made a mistake). --Crout1 17:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that "It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Sleeping pad". I tend to think that an "air mattress" is a water toy or pool toy. For sleeping I believe it is commonly called an "air bed" or "inflatable bed". Also I believe that a "sleeping pad" is generally not inflatable. Sean.barton 00:57, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I wish the person suggesting the merge had given a reason. The two articles reference two completely different things. An air mattress or inflatable bed or air bed is generally held to be an inflatable structure of standard bedding dimensions, i.e."Twin","Full", "Queen", etc. These objects are absolutely not designed for nor appropriate for use in the rough, outdoor conditions for which sleeping pads are designed. Actually, the technology has progressed quite a bit in the last years and deserves considerably more than we have here. When I have time... Would the person suggesting merger be so kind as to explain their rationale? ThanksPanthera germanicus 12:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)panthera_germanicus

I just took "Siemens" out of "Siemens mobile phone" in the picture caption. Perhaps I should have discussed it first on this talk page but my reasoning was that mobile phones really don't have anything to do with air mattresses and Siemens mobile phones certainly don't have anything to do with air mattresses. So it seemed to me that someone planted it their as advertising and so I removed it. If others disagree please put it back. Note that the word "Siemens" is still clearly visible in the photograph.

Air Beds are completely different that sleeping pads. As a matter of fact there should be made a distinction between camping air matresses, guest air mattresses and permanent air mattresses. The way the article is written jumbles up all 3 types. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandman52 (talk • [[Special:Contributions/Sandman5271.218.155.190 (talk) 02:19, 20 February 2008 (UTC)|contribs]]) 02:10, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
