Camping Tip #26: In an emergency, a drawstring from a parka hood can be used to strangle a snoring tent friend...or husband!!

I have a vango 7.5cm sim, but as a side sleeper I felt that I needed a bit of additional padding so picked up one of the Aldi ones to go underneath, can't wait to try it out on our trip next week.

Bit of advice needed please.
Never been camping, but suffer from Fibromyalgia in my neck (basically chronic neck pain). I side sleep pretty much every night so would an air bed be better than a SIM?

I reckon as long as you bring your own pillows from home then a sim is fine.

Just bought one of those little lights. I was really pleased as it was the last one but I've changed the battery and it isn't't working. Grrrrr! It looked pretty useful.

I would go for a SIM of at least 7.5cm or better still 10cm very comfy and warm, airbeds can be very cold

I ended up just popping in to have a nosey like you do but was very pleased with myself as I came away with only one of the orb lights which look quite cool and another SIM So now I no longer have to borrow one off Diwlsn when I take all the kids

I can recommend the orb light - I bought one in Poole on Thursday and used it for the last night of my trip. The amount of light it throws out is just right for the tent pod.

After pondering , I hitched a lift to Aldi Wellingborough, and treated myself to a green Orb Light. Can't wait to try it when we go camping Wednesday

Just had three nights on a new Aldi Sim. Slept like a baby (well, like a tired grown up - babies wake up all the bl at at dy time).

My wife also slept on one and liked it. The kids had the 7.5 cm Vango SIMs - to be honest, I couldn't tell the difference.

In short: Aldi SIMs - highly recommended!
