Abstract: An inflatable furniture design has a user-interfacing surface, such as the sleeping surface of an air mattress, which includes a breathable multilayer mesh which separates the user from the underlying air-impermeable sheet. The breathable mesh is made from a material such as 3D fabric, which is resiliently deformable while also allowing for airflow through and around the volume of the mesh material of the breathable interface material. When a person contacts the inflatable furniture, her or his body comes into direct contacts with the breathable mesh.
