A typical air mattress is designed to float on water due to its air-filled chambers, but its buoyancy depends on the material and design. If properly sealed and inflated, it can float for a considerable time; however, factors like weight distribution, any punctures, and water conditions can affect its longevity on the surface. Generally, it may stay afloat for several hours, but it's not intended for long-term use in water. Always exercise caution and ensure safety when using any inflatable in water.

Does the size of a parachute affect how long it will float in the air?
Yes, the size of a parachute does affect how long it will float in the air. A larger parachute with more surface area will create more drag, slowing the descent and allowing it to float in the air longer compared to a smaller parachute.
Who invented the air mattress?

How long will balloons float filled with exhaled air?
When a balloon is blown up by mouth, it will not float, but fall to the ground. This is because the air inside is the same density as the air outside. For a balloon to float up into the air, it must be inflated with a gas that is lighter than air - such as helium.
