I have found a properly inflated airbed will give a good nights sleep, but they are prone to puncturing and that until repaired is that.A ruined trip.
I MUCH prefer, though, a SIM. Depending on my style of camping, determines the thickness etc., but these insulate well, are available in different thickness', and sizes, are tough (good ones), don't wreck your trip if punctured....
Have a look at Thermarest and Multimat……?

You're welcome
The SIMS will be a lot thinner than an airbed, but more insulative.
If you want more height off the ground, these can be put on campbeds or whatever.
Multimat are excellent quality and tend to be a bit cheaper than Thermarest.
As a base camp type mat, as I suspect may be more what you are looking for?.... the 50XxL may fit the bill. It is what I now use after being recommended by someone else...…and I too would happily recommend them.

At the other end of the scale are SIMS by TRAIL. These are lightweight, incredibly cheap and just as comfortable if properly inflated. TRAIL mats are narrow and short, and do not inflate on their own, without help, as well as the likes of THermarest or Multimat.
I have slept well on these too...….
