It's always great having friends and family visit, but overnight stays can be tricky if you don't have a guest room. Sofa beds are good options, but those aren't cheap either. Air mattresses are a terrific alternative, and they've come a long way from the inflatable bed 3 inches off the ground. The most recent one we've come across (after our editor was scrolling through TikTok and stumbled upon it) is the Ivation EZ-Bed inflatable mattress with its own rolling bed frame.

Available in twin, full, queen and king sizes, starting at $299.99.

The bed frame lifts the air mattress two feet off the floor to make it feel less like a makeshift bed. The self-inflating dial also lets you control the firmness of the bed. More than 1,500 Amazon shoppers give the Ivation EZ-Bed a five-star rating and rave about how comfortable and easy it is to use.

“Unbelievably comfortable!” one reviewer wrote. “After looking at sofa beds for weeks and finding them quite expensive, I came across this inflatable bed with a frame attached. This has been a big hit with our overnight guests — ‘feels like a regular bed.’ Plus it’s pretty amazing to watch it inflate itself with the metal frame, deflate itself and it was very easy to put it back in its case.”

The bed takes about two minutes to self-deflate, then you can fold the frame back up and zip the case over it. Simple and easy, just like a guest bed should be. “This product was actually amazing!” wrote another reviewer. “It’s really useful, especially when you have guests over. Comfort is pretty great. It’s really easy to set up and to put away. By far one of the best air mattresses I’ve purchased!!”

The Ivation EZ-Bed comes in twin, full, queen and king sizes and ranges in price from $299.99 to $399.99, depending on the size. It does run a bit more expensive than your average air mattress, but it feels more like rollaway bed with a sturdy frame, making the price tag a little easier to digest.
