" Nothing so Mare as Resting on A.ir ' * 



The Pneumatic Mattress 



AN IDEAL BED 



•'I will have all my mattresses blown up, not stuft. Down is too hard." — Ben Jonson. 



THE PNEUMATIC MATTRESS is as far superior to any other mattress as the pneumatic bicycle tire 

 is superior to the solid tire. It fits the body perfectly. You cannot find an uncomfortable position on 

 the Pneumatic Mattress. It conforms to all positions of the body, thereby resting all parts 

 equally. Did you ever think how unsanitary the ordinary hair, wool or other mattress is? All the 

 perspiration from the body permeates the substance of the mattress and remains there. No amount of airing 

 will remove any disease germs that may have lodged there. Nothing can enter the Air Mattress. It is the 

 only sanitary mattress in existence. There is no place for dust to lodge; there is no home for vermin. 

 The Pneumatic Mattress need no turning, as air never mats down. It is always smooth and requires no 

 manipulation to take out the inequalities. No odor, and never musty. It can be regulated to any degree 

 of hardness or softness by admitting or expelling a little air. It weighs when deflated about 18 pounds. 



We make these mattresses in three sizes : %, ^ and full size; the latter is also made in two parts divided 

 lengthwise in center; thus if two people sleep together and one wants a hard bed, the other a soft bed, both 

 can be accommodated. 



No springs are required with the Air Mattress; we furnish iron slats for iron beds. It should rest on 

 ordinary wood slats on wood beds. 



Durability : The air sack is protected by a covering of the best quality ticking. With ordinary care 

 this mattress will last a lifetime. Should it by any accident become punctured it can be easily repaired.

" I plainly see that you have gotten me into trouble over those air mattresses, as my wife 

 is already fascinated with them, and 1 myself, am inclined to think we cannot get along with- 

 out them." J. S. TICHENOR, Sec'y Naval Y. M C. A.. Sept. nth, 1902. 



14 1 find the mattress as you represent it. I find it a great joy and comfort. My hair mat- 

 tress is nothing compared with your Pneumatic for sleeping. My friends admire it very 

 much, and tell me they will order for themselves." 



W. M. NEVITT, Bozeman, Mont., July 1st, 1902. 



"After my boat, 'Azalea,' went out of commission last fall, I sent the mattress had of 

 you home; and now the women folks won't let me take it away, and so will have to ask you 

 to send another mattress of same size." 



Col. FRED'K G. AGEUS, Newark, N. J., May 13th, 1902.
