Remarks from the Fray:

Aside from the many apt complaints in the article, my big annoyance with air mattresses is that they are cold in the winter, because you are sleeping right on top of cold air, which doesn't warm up from your body like a mattress. The cold factor interrupted my sleep even more than the comfort or squeaky factors.

I bought an inexpensive puffy-topped mattress cover for may air mattress and that helped some. Depending on how much available extra bedding I have for my guests, I'm inclined to put a comforter or (ideally) wool blanket on top of the mattress & under the fitted sheet for extra warmth.
