hi, can any one tell me what is the most comfortable bed for camping, i was thinking of a camp bed with one of the fat airics on or am i being silly, i need something comfy, or is an air bed the best option

yer im not able to bend and get stiff so thought if i was off the ground it wouldnt so far down. ill have a few drinks too, that should do the trick

fat airics website says they wont be in stock untill autumn

Thermarest also do a bit thick mattress, but it is about £120....Fat airic for £35 seems a brilliant deal. The ordinary T-a-r is very comfy so a thicker one should be OK.

I'm going to get a Fat airic in the autumn as I get a stiff back, but raising it up on an airbed should be a help. Not sure about camp beds...I always seem to tip them over!

Apparently you can curethe slippiness with that matting stuff that is used to stop stuff flying all over the dashboard of the car.....sort of matting with holes in and sticky (although there is no sticky feel to it)

We have the Fat Airics and the coleman comfort airbeds and I must say that the Fat Airics win hands down. As for slipping off, I think it might depend on which sleeping bag you have aswell.  The sleeping bags with a nylon type shell..............well, I just slip about all night.........I need the cotton type shell.  Perfect
