No It’s Not a Camping Mattress

By Jo

We know what you are thinking.  “Air Flotation Technology” is just a fancy word for “Camping Mattress”.  If you’ve ever slept on a camping mattress you know it isn’t the most glamorous experience, in fact it’s debatable if it’s even a step up from sleeping on the ground. 

I’m here to tell you that the UnderDog Pet Bed is not a camping mattress, in fact the UnderDog bed’s comfy air-cloud technology is the farthest thing from the discomfort you have come to know from a typical “air bed”. 

One Air Cell to Rule Them All…Not a Great Idea for Comfort
Have you ever stood in the middle of an air mattress?  Chances are if you have, that almost immediately upon standing on the mattress, your feet were making contact with the hard surface of the ground.  That’s because camping mattresses are traditionally created with one large air cell.  This large air cell isn’t very good at evenly distributing areas of high pressure (like your feet), therefore you end up with painful pressure points as you sleep (or in this case stand on the hard ground). 

Sometimes More is More…More Air Cells = More Comfort
The key to UnderDog’s Air Flotation Technology is that it’s comprised of many small interconnected air cells.  So if you were to stand on an UnderDog bed a few things will happen:

• You will probably have a harder time doing it because of the small air cells.
• Your feet won’t sink in and touch the ground because as you stand on the bed your feet will span over at least 6 total air cells, that means these 6 air cells will help distribute your weight over the whole bed, resulting in less pressure points and ultimately more comfort.
• You might start to feel like you are getting a core workout from trying to balance on the bed…so if that’s your goal keep on keeping on, it not then call the experiment a wrap.

The Point Is, More Air Cells = More Comfort

So the take home point here is that the UnderDog bed is not a camping mattress and more air cells means less pressure points for your fluff face pet and ultimately a more comfortable rest.  Want to try this little experiment for yourself?  Go ahead, the UnderDog bed is super durable, it will be fine.
