Hi Den

Glad your wife enjoyed your camping trip. The standard recommendation for airbeds is the Coleman Comfort which is a double that you can inflate differently on each side.

Personally I'm an inflating mattress fan and we just take some normal pillows with us (some cheap thinnish ones that squish into corners!)

Hi Den ... pleased it all went well ...... you can take pillows from home and sit on them for travelling ....... with an airbed ..... not so much right now, but when it's not so hot - you will need something underneath it as well as on top (ie: silver backed picnic blanket - Lilds £5 ish) .... the air in the bed will get as cold as the air outside

Happy camping

The Coleman Comfort double airbed is the best around, as P&T says.

Any of the supermarkets do cheap pillows...get washable ones for campng. Or try the half sized camping pillows made by Vango etc if packing space is tight.
