Well folks I think I will stick to the air bed, thought I was missing something as more expensive I may have thought ment more comfort.

 Just goes to show its horses for courses.

Tiss a regular debate as you can see - and if you do a search.

Personally, I have switched from air beds to self-inflating mats.

Why? well becuase I don't mind the firmer SIMs and becuase I got fed up of getting to a site and having air bed worries - "will I have a leak or not... ?". After one more problem than I needed the year before (and with the famed Coleman confort air beds), I swapped to mats, so I could pack them and not have to worry if I was going to be comfortable, or on the floor, for the weekend. Piece of mind in the end; even though SIMs take up more space in the car.

Cant beat a Thermarest Luxury self inflating mat.

We have a Thermarest Dreamtime and a Fat Airic. And you are right when you compare them side-by-side, but the cost diference is over 3 times!

Is a Thermarest more comfortable than two, still cheaper, Fat Airics - and we have done the test - the answer is no.

In fact, a campbed and a Fat Airic is still cheaper than the Thermarest - and better if it is cold. So if you, don't mind the extra transport space... yes, IMHO, you can beat a Thermarest.
