We have airbeds but they are not very good, also when we woke up in the morning we were cold, is it better to have a campbed or can anyone recommend a good airbed.
Coleman double height airbeds are ace. Ours has never gone down, and I'm 17 stone. Us e a battery pump to get it nice and firm (can't believe I just typed that to a complete stranger.) Put an old blanket (cardboard, newspapers?) under it to insulate it from the cold ground, Then a blanket under you, then you will be fine.

I used an campbed for the first time at easter. I was as comfortable as I ever was on an airbed, but had no worries about waking up on the floor! I found it really useful to be able to place cloting bags, shoes etc under the bed so felt as though I had a lot more space...
I guess from a thermal point of view, its no different, right ? still need a blanket over the camp bed (as suggested by a few people here for the airbeds) ?
[ pretty new to this, and paranoid about being cold ! ]

Off the ground so no cold air striking up, well not as badly. Bed height so no getting up off the floor and storage space underneath. Love my cosy bed when I'm camping.

This is my first post after lurking for a few months. I would like to point out to everyone a site I recently found on the web which is great for camping gadgets as the americans really seem to think of everything. To answer airbed or campbed, why not have the both combined here !! . Take a look at the tents as well, they have everything inc indoor cooking
I use a Fox predator carp bed ( obtainable from most good fishing outlets) its far better than any camp bed..but far more expensive and a lot heavier, I have bad back so suits me.
I can't comment on the vango, but I say I have been a regular air bed user, and am now looking to buy a camp bed, as its not very comfortable waking up on the floor!!
