hi all

Were a new family to camping 2 adults, 2 kids 3,5 and had our first night at the weekend.

overall it was a good experience apart from no sleep....we have 2 of the tesco inflatable mattresses ..the ones with built in inflator / deflator....

we slept 1 adult and 1 kid in a bed but both ended up almost on the floor with a kid each rolled towards us..and it was nigh on impossible to move the kids as we were just

what do you use or recomend to make this more comfortable....in the morning we let them down and it was far more comfy in the pods just lounging around on the sleeping bags as at least we could turn over and move around a little..

cheers in advance for any help

P.S   we have a base 4.2 seconds pop up tent so looking for 2 doubles that will fit in each of the pods.

cheers

Its a while since i used air beds but my first thought is the difference between the weight of the two people on each bed,this would lead to the lightest rolling towards the heavy one,you could buy a better air bed or a self inflating air bed, or even two singles as the cheapest answer.

a bad days camping is better than a good day at work

You'll get more responses to this question in the equipment section.  Airbeds are prone to this as there is not really any way of stopping the heaviest person sinking down.  You need either a foam matress, or 2 x single airbeds to overcome the problem.  Sleeping the 2 adults & 2 kids together would also help.
