Small room - mattress options

[Jennifer140]

My house is listed as a 2 bedroom with the second smaller bedroom using a full size air mattress.  I ahve had to replace the air mattresses a few times as they randomly get holes (even the more expensive ones).  Are there any comfortable options that will fit in a small bedroom but can be stored in a closet so that I am not constantly buying new mattesses?

You could get a bike patch kit - my husband has fixed ours with a bike patch kit.  I guess still a hassle to repair it, but then you wouldn't have to replace it?  

[Jennifer140]

That's true.  It's just difficult to find the holes as they are so small sometimes.  I will look into it.

Here's a video about finding the holes and using the patch kit.  He talks a lot but you can fast forward.  We just repaired this ridiculous REI mattress that retails for like $250 and it is good as new - we've used it about 7 times since patching it no problems.  Wound up being a great deal.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVZT_Nf4GzY.  I looked at your picture and that is indeed a small room, so air mattress is probably a pretty decent way to go unless you want to move your office elsewhere.

If it's for occasional use only try a futon they are great

A fold up Murphy bed.  Also much more comfortable

There are sideways (lengthwise, that is) Murphy beds that work fairly well. They're expensive, but I think there are companies manufacturing them with plywood, which is paintable, and so you can easily get rid of the bed when not in use.

Invest in a Slumber Bed in a Box. They're around $150 for a full size maybe around $200 for a queen or king. They're really good quality I have them in two of my rooms.
