Selectair mattresses only adjust the hardness and temperature of the bed. It would definitely be a step up from your foam mattress. The air beds that are being mentioned by others here are low-loss, which typically are prescribed overlays or complete mattress systems. I could see a low-loss on a Selectair being quite comfortable. Don't confuse this with a sleep number mattress...
