By trial and error we have gone through the whole camp bed regime and finally come up with something we both agree on, i prefer the blow up mattress but her ladyship wanted a camp bed, i bought two camp beds off ebay for £16 and we tried them out, i didn't like it but OH does, i decided to go back to my trusty inflatable until in a flash of inspiration i decided to combine the two

We now have a great bed off the ground and comfortable, roll mats take care of the insulation

Hmmm, you need to sleep on it, I think.


Sorry, couldn't resist.

Self inflating for me all the way, Therm-a-Rest the original and still the best ! IMHO

Lol Spudz, you have your funny head on today huh :)

We have tried 2 kinds of si mats and both ended up in the trash but it is all about personal choice and what is most comfortable.

I have to agree with the airbed on campbed route as I have just returned from a weeks camping having slept well every night.  When I went camping two years ago I slept on an airbed, it was uncomfortable, last year a campbed - even more uncomfortable but this year I combined the two and it was wonderful. 

I put a picnic blanket over the airbed and then covered the lot with a sheet.  I then slept under an opened up sleeping bag and two layers of fleece blanket - very cosy.

i put roll mats under my inflatable mattress, which keeps us a lot warmer. Guess its just extra insulation but i was really surprised how much colder i was when i left them out one night.

i think its all personal preference, if i was you, seen as you have both- try them both out again and see which you like best!

 on our first camping trip we both brought a double airbed.we decided to inflate them both and put one on top of the other!! lol!. its very comfy. we allways take them both now when we go away

well you have to be comfy when your asleep!!!!!!!!

I also have this problem!! I'm a big wimp and can't stand getting cold at night. We have an inflatable (Coleman) that turns into a bed with sleeping bag and blanket over that, but I'm still chilly, even with my tracksuit on.

What is the best bed?  And further more what is the best sleeping bag?

Can anybody help?

we also have fat airics - they're great.

On top we put "the bed" this is a sleeping bag made from a memory foam topper, a double duvet and 2 duvet covers which hold it all together with zips either side for ventilation and if it's warm (we get warm)

I got the idea from Raself duvalays which I saw at the motorhome show.

Inside we have a silk double liner (this comes out for washing every trip) the duvet covers just get washed when necessary!!
