## Common ground
All options describe inflatable mattresses or pillows, differing only in their primary material.
## Options at a glance
**3926.90 – Plastic material**
- **Defining trait:** Made primarily from synthetic plastic (e.g., PVC, polyethylene), often used for lightweight, waterproof, and durable designs.
- **Typical examples:** Inflatable sleeping pads, plastic pool floats, travel pillows with plastic shells.
- **Best fit when:** The product is rigid or semi-rigid, waterproof, and intended for outdoor or wet environments.
**4016.95 – Rubber material**
- **Defining trait:** Made from natural or synthetic rubber, offering high elasticity, durability, and air retention.
- **Typical examples:** Heavy-duty air mattresses, rubber air cushions, medical anti-pressure sores pads.
- **Best fit when:** The product requires strong resilience, long-term air retention, and resistance to punctures.
**6306.40 – Textile material**
- **Defining trait:** Made from fabric (e.g., polyester, nylon) with an inner plastic or rubber layer; often soft and breathable.
- **Typical examples:** Inflatable sleeping bags, fabric-covered air pillows, camping mattresses with textile surface.
- **Best fit when:** The product has a soft, fabric exterior for comfort, is used indoors, or requires a plush feel.

## How to choose
- Is the product made of a hard or rigid plastic? → 3926.90
- Does it feel elastic and durable with strong air retention? → 4016.95
- Is the outer layer soft fabric (e.g., polyester), not plastic or rubber? → 6306.40
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A product may combine materials (e.g., textile outer with plastic inner), but the **primary material** determines the HS Code. If unsure, prioritize the dominant or outermost layer. No option is clearly superior—choice depends on material composition, not function
