1. An inflatable air mattress comprising:
- a top surface having a plurality of top surface connection points;
a bottom surface having a plurality of bottom surface connection points;
one or more side surfaces connecting the top surface to the bottom surface such that the top surface, bottom surface, and side surfaces form an airtight enclosure that comprises the exterior of the inflatable air mattress; and
a mesh structure attached to an internal surface of the inflatable air mattress at the top surface connection points and bottom surface connection points, wherein the top surface connection points and bottom surface connection points are positioned such that the mesh structure has a three-dimensional approximately sinusoidal shape when the inflatable air mattress is inflated.
