We've been extremely happy with our choice of average quality GO camp bed and average quality 5cm SIM.... although it seemed daft to ignore those cheap 5cm SIMS at Lidl last week... so we didn't!! :-), and we'll be doubling up to 10cm when we tootle off somewhere this weekend!!   
I'll let you know how it goes..... if I get out o' bed!!

Campingaz double airbed and a Jack Russell pillow does the job for me.

I used to use a thermarest prolite and still do for weekends in the little tent but the rest of the time I now use an exped synmat 7, it's half way between an air bed and a sim. You inflate it with a built in pump but it is filled with synthetic fibres so it insulates far better than a std air bed.

Thank you, some good ideas here. I shall see if I can dig out a single airbed and try that with my SIM on top.

We use a 7.5 sim plus decent mattress topper from john lewis . Prevoiusly used air beds and aerobeds. But they always develop leaks.

For Cub camp or Beaver Scout sleepover's it's my camp bed will a roll mat and blankets, but when the other half is camping with me then it's our Coleman's Comfort double airbed, blankets, cotton sheet's and the quilt off our bed.
