The red and blue ones from Argos are great, we've had one for years, and being Argos they'll change it if a seam goes, just remember to keep the receipt.

Just went in my local Woolworths

Double airbed with rechargeable elec pump £19.99 (from 39.99)

Single airbed with same was £29.99 down to 14.99 but now reduced to 11.99

Couldn't tell if pump deflates but will work off mains, car cigarette ligher socket or as stated is rechargeable.

I have 1 double Coleman Comfort bed which cost me £19.99 and 2 x Single ones which cost me £12.99 each.  I bought an electric pump that runs off the car cigarette lighter for £11.  These have been the most comfortable beds that I have slept on so far.

We converted from tin to canvas this year, used coleman comfort dual chamber.  Slept like logs, (wine from french supermarket at equivalent of 46p helped).

I'm a big fan of Thermarest.  So simple, warm and comfy; they roll up really small and self-inflate without a pump (they're full of foam rubber, so when you open the valve, the foam regains it's natural shape and pulls in the air...all you have to do is tighten the valve after a few minutes).  One of these on a canvas campbed is the height of luxury.  I also have a three-quarter length version which is cool for backpacking...and you can fit either type into a clever little harness thing to make a chair which is great inside a small dome tent.

Downside: £70!!!  However...

Last time I was out I decided I needed a second one, but the shop didn't stock Thermarest.  I bought a "Multimat"; identical in every way...except the £30 price tag!!!
