OK I am fed up of getting dead arms and legs in the middle of the night from our air bed. So time for a new airbed, I have done a quick search on here an noticed that most people seem to recommend coleman. I was thinking I wanted a raised one as I thought it might be more comfy??
We have a Vango Orchy 400 or 500 ( I can't remember which) do you think a raised queen sized one would fit?

If any of you have any recommendations for air beds please let me know. The majority of the others seemed like older posts and maybe there is some good new beds on the market

Cheers all and happy camping

We tried a raised airbed and had problems with it deflating during the night, so we have campbeds with an airbed on top, very comfy and warm, plus storage space underneath 17

They look good, but how comfy are they? I just can't be dealing with waking up with dead arms and legs in the night anymore!

Just realised I have posted this in the wrong area of the website - I guess it should be in equipment
Maybe I should repost there!

We too have a coleman double comfort on top of camp beds....It's really cosy, warm and feels like a real bed as you are off the ground.

Had to put blankets between the camp beds and the air bed though, too squeeky otherwise!

not been impressed with the aerobed tbh - its going back to argos this weekend - might just have been a dodgy one though, the vango one is much better but doesnt come with a rechargable pump17 - so thats really only suitable with ehu - if me and the wife can get away on our own this year I'll be getting a campbed with a blow up on top (fingers crossed)
