Sorry to say that we are returning our Aldi airbed. It seemed pretty comfortable (we haven't actually slept on it), although the 'ridges' were noticable.

We just found it was incredibly noisy to inflate and weighs a ton. We came to the conclusion that it is too big and heavy to take on our long-haul trips when we have the bikes on top, and on short weekend trips when we don't have the space and weight restrictions we wouldn't necessarily want EHU to blow it up with.   If our existing airbed was uncomfortable we would have kept it, but so far (touch wood) we have been pretty comfortable on our standard one.

Sorry to hear that.... ours is mainly for use at home as a spare bed and we could fit it in our Vango Venture 500. Know what you mean about the noise.... my daughters friend used it this weekend and said she slept like a baby. Hmmmm that could have been to do with the amount of alcohol she consumed though  I can understand that space and weight are a main factor when choosing airbeds. Aldi are very good at changing things though... so good luck

Up until now I would have said the Coleman every time - and still would recommend it.

HOWEVER - we went away over half term and needed an airbed.  (Mouse attack on our Coleman.)   Being a little short of cash, and Colemans being around £30 in our local camping shop, to say nothing of not knowing where our Coleman airpump is (other one doesn't fit) we opted for a £14.99 one from Argos (634/0049).  It stayed up for 4 night.  Whats more I did not get the roll together dispite being inbetween the two kids.  
I was so pleased that I have decided to get the Kingsized one as well.

Another vote for Colmen from us

colmen comfort - fantastic bit of kit. Bought in the lakes as after being in bed for two hours the previous airbed was flat!

if you could have seen the sights pumbing the air bed up at some ridiculus time of night. after seeing oh take off into the side of the tent- he was fast a sleep at the time. Well i needed the loo........... 

Yep, the Coleman Comfort.

Outdoor Megastore were very good to me this year as my 1 year old Comfort developed a split on a seam on the uppermost surface which simply couldn't be repaired for love nor money.

This happened whilst camping locally and although i tried a repair, spent some uncomfortable nights when we went straight off down to Cornwall for our main holiday.

I tested the Coleman 2 year guarantee and Outdoor Megastore came up trumps as they sorted out a replacement and shipped it to the campsite we were staying on in Cornwall.

As for the comfort value, my wife who does get a sore back if a bed isn't right, has always had a great nights sleep on this airbed.

Highly Recommended bit of kit.
