Simultaneously, the two annular pulling sheets are of independent structure, and these two cannot cooperate with each other to realize the fixing of the bed body, and the stability of the bed body is poor.
In view of this, the designer provides an inflatable bed, which can not only simplify the manufacturing steps, improve efficiency and reduce costs, but also improve the stability of the bed body and improve user experience.

Furthermore, an inner side of the top wall 100 is provided with a thermal insulation layer 700, which is fixed to the top wall 100 through a heat welding, so as to reduce a loss of body heat to the outside of the bed body, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the bed body, and thus increasing use comfort and sleep quality.
At the same time, the thermal insulation layer 700 is provided with a plurality of massage bumps 710, which are arranged in a matrix to massage the user when he or she are lying on the inflatable bed. With the massage bumps 710 the contact surface with the body may be increased, so as to provide a more even massage experience, thereby enhancing the comfort and massage effects of the inflatable bed.
Furthermore, an outer side of the bottom wall 300 is provided with an anti-slip pad 313, which enhances the stability of the inflatable bed on the ground. By providing the additional friction and grip, the anti-slip pad 313 may reduce the movement or sliding of the bed during use, thereby increasing the safety and stability of the bed.
In addition, the outer peripheral sheet 200 is provided with a plurality of connection straps 800, an end of the connection strap 800 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral sheet 200, and the other end thereof is provided with a connection buckle 900, so as to connect a plurality of inflatable beds together to form a larger usage space, which allows users to connect a plurality of bed bodies as required, to meet different usage needs, thereby increasing the flexibility and versatility of the inflatable bed.
