JetBed began offering its patented design in 2008 and it has since become the gold standard for sleeping flat in a small aircraft cabin. Its beds weigh 20 to 26 pounds and deploy from a single integral bag when placed on the floor between two or four facing seats. The foundation inflates in less than a minute with the aid of a portable, rechargeable battery pump. Atop the inflated foundation is a mattress that helps create a uniformly firm feeling with no sagging or hard spots.

Some of the fabric technology is proprietary, but creator Gary Bosstick says it is a high-quality ballistic nylon that does not stretch and is mated with “a precisely applied special formula urethane.”
