Hi Osvic, and welcome.
Whichever you use, duvet or sleeping bag, you will need some insulation between you and the airbed, and preferably also between the airbed and the ground. I speak from experience here. It makes a big difference.
Airbeds are just bags of air, which gets cold at night. Put a picnic blanket or similar under the airbed, and a blanket or one of those fleecey fitted mattress covers on top of it (e.g. from Dunelm etc). If you take a duvet, put a fitted sheet on top of the fleecy thing to make it feel more like home.
Duvets/cotton covers can sometimes feel a bit damp to me, depending on the weather and again due to my own experience. We've moved over to sleeping bags now despite my fear of feeling cooped up like sausage in a skin (I like to have my feet free and able to cool down also). Sleeping bags tend to be less bulky too.
But, I'm rambling. If you don't have sleeping bags and haven't yet been camping, take the duvet (with the blankets etc under and over airbed). For ultimate luxury you could have a duvet above and below!
See how you get on and whether you enjoy it all first, before investing sleeping bags (and it pays to get decent ones with our variable climate).
Take an extra blanket or two anyway - cosy for sitting out in plus extra warmth if it's a cool night.
I hope you have a great weekend.

Do campers 'peg it'?
