Nearly forgot the sleeping arrangements in all the excitement!  lol

We're upgrading our sleeping to self inflating matts and are struggling to decide between getting two (10cm) or one double (5 cm).  I'm worried that 2 singles will slip and my OH (or even worse me!) will end up sleeping on the floor.  However I also want a decent night's sleep - is 5cm too thin?

So for all you 'self inflaters' do you go double or single?  And what's the best way of keeping the singles together?

Thanks for all responses!

Do you share a sleeping bag? If you both sleep in your own bag go for singles, if you have a double go for a double.

I have tried thin and thick mattresses and they were both fine - I went for the fat airics simply because they were wider not because they were fatter.

yes defo go for singles we have 2 vango xl ones and a outwell dino for our 4 year old would never ever go back to airbeds no matter how good they say they are nats are soo much better and easier.

Great responses - fab advice guys thanks!  Two singles it is!

Petermillis obviously that would be the OH making smells and me escaping

Thanks guys! 

Would love the ThermaRest Dream but really can't justify the cost (trust me I tried!).

  I'm thinking Fat Airics or Rubens are within price range... However can't seem to find anywhere online that has any in stock.  Does anyone happen to know of a site (or indeed a shop!) that I happen to have missed....bit of a long shot (especially with the shop) but if you don't ask.....

Loving the advice and really appreciate it - thank you!

Have you tried PJ Camping in St Albans, I know they sell Outwell and Robens mats.
