MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Nov. 1, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Truck-Bedz is announcing at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week the launch of the first full line of truck air mattresses that offer a custom-fit around the pickup truck wheel wells. Truck-Bedz offers an unprecedented standard of comfort and quality. The super-robust, durable mattresses are offered in sizes to fit most truck beds and provide the comfort of sleeping on a full-size 8" thick inflatable airbed.
With prices starting at $249, Truck-Bedz offers unbeatable value for a very high quality mattress. Virtually all inflatable beds sold today are made primarily for indoor use out of the lowest quality vinyl materials (similar to a typical swimming pool toy) and are not well suited for cold weather, harsh environments or rugged outdoor use. Truck-Bedz are made out of heavy-duty 420-denier expedition weight nylon backpack cloth, reinforced with an industrial-grade urethane coating. This is the same material used in many life vests and airplane safety slides. Truck-Bedz offers a full one-year manufacturer's warranty as opposed to the industry standard 90-day warranty.
Truck-Bedz was created by company founder and outdoor sportsman Terry Hanrahan specifically for fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
"The idea for Truck-Bedz came one morning when I crawled off the crummy little thin air mattress in the bed of my truck and felt all the aches and pains that come with a rotten night's sleep after a hard day's work and play. I looked over and saw that two of my buddies wore the same tired, haggard expression and thought 'I need to invent something better!' And, being an engineer by trade, that's what I did," said Hanrahan.
Popular since the early 70s, pick-up trucks from manufacturers including Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Nissan, Toyota and Mazda have enjoyed broad acceptance as vehicle of choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Today's pick-ups range from basic models to luxury vehicles from Cadillac and Lincoln and according to current U.S. industry statistics, over 2.9 million new pick-up trucks are sold domestically every year many of which are used for outdoor or sporting recreation.
Truck-Bedz are sold direct and through select retail distribution and are available, along with more information, at www.truck-bedz.com or by calling 1-866-303-2339.
