another vote for Coleman double comfort! as I put in reply to another thread... me and OH are both on the tubby side, and it just does not go down! It's as comfy as the matress at home and when OH turns over you don't hit the roof! It's reasonably priced too, so everyone is a winner!

Try one of THESE. OK I know they're not cheap but you won't need another airbed. Ever. It's usable as a put you up at home for Christmas etc too for visiing rellys who may not appreciate an airbed.
It'll last 10years easily, I have a similar one that I bought nearly 20 years ago and I use it 5 or 6 times a month on night shifts. If it lasts 10years (and it will, easily) that's £12 a year.
Others are available from £50 up. Don't buy Badger ones though, cheap and very nasty.
EDIT: THIS ONEis rated to 255kg! that's 40stone! And it's £100 less.

We have just bought an aerobed king size it was on offer for £50 half price from tescos, very comfy and loads of room, we loved it.
OH and myself are no lightweights, we had no problems.
we have just bought this airbed and slept on it in the lounge last night, me and hubby are both chunks and it was really comfy, gets 10 out of 10 from us

Fat Airics all the way... See my glowing recommendation in other thread... Superb beds... Very comfty... Superb quality... Had 17 stone 4 lying on one for two weeks earlier this month - didn't lose any air and is so so comfortable...
PS I use a Thermarest coupling device to hold two together, and also place them in a double duvet cover that my ma re-sized to exactly to fit the airbeds to avoid "slippage"...
We got single double height beds from tesco - both have out own space and don't affect each other when we move around ! They need topping up a bit everyday but are still comfy. We also found singles were better for OH as he is 6'6''. Our problem has been with chairs for fatties! We have got some wynnster wittering chairs which seemed strong enough until we took them to the beach and the legs bent into the sand. Anyone know of some folding chairs (not too expensive) for those not shy of a pie?
These Fat Airic thingys..I just cant see how they can be comfy if you're heavy. Does it not just flatten when you lay on it. Theres not a lot of depth to them so can you feel the floor at all? Do they roll up smaller than a deflated airbed? Space is short in my Vectra.
You can feel the floor when you put a lot of pressure in one place, for example, if you kneel on them, but mine certainly holds my weight once your weight/pressure is spread across the whole mat. They don't roll up small, but there not particularly massive when rolled either...
our vote is aerobeds. Now our aerobed has given up the ghost after 3 years. nothing else has lasted more than a season. We've just replaced it with a hi-rise king classic. we put that up in the lounge today. it didn't instantly burst so that's a start.
aerobeds are rated to 272kgs we're over that, and not had a problem until this year.
