Have just returned from Spain which was good except for my wife's comfortr on her airbed... it might just be old age, but she has tried the airbed thing, and the alluminium rigid bed (my favourite) but still struggles to get a good night's kip. Any suggestions out there? Any help advice, gratefully received.

Thanks

I can't sleep on an airbed either. We have a folding aluminium bed also, which does give a better nights sleep if you put blankets underneath the sleeping bag for more comfort & insulation along with a pillow.

We bought 2 Fishing beds from Argos this year & these are so much more comfortable.

Normally, these beds cost £60 - £130 in the fishing shops, but Argos ones are around £38 each & are just as good.

I'd highly recommend them!

My airbed failed me too a couple of weeks ago.  Fed up with airbed letting me down (literally) i took off to the nearest camp shop and bought a folding aluminium one for £28.50 - put a couple of folded blankets underneath it and slept like a log.  Going to get hubby one (argos as its cheaper) and eventually get the kids ones too as the airbeds die.  Plan to replace the blankets with rollmats also.

Does anyone know the size of these BEDS as it's not stated?

Cheers

our airbed let us down this week too! My beloved Coleman Comfort Double Bed had the mother of all punctures and after 3 attemps to fix it, one of the chambers has had it!.

Lee fancies getting one of those new aluminium ones that most people are talking about until I told him they dont do them in doubles! I quite fancy getting a decent thick sleeping mat as I bunked in with the kids one night and found theirs quite comfy.

I had a Coleman that kept deflating and took forever to blow up - just changed to Aerobed Active and haven't looked back - there is another thread where some bloke has got a discount code - not sure if it still works...

i'll make a note of that one (my campingaz with pillows has died) but can you tell me.. how easy is it to knock out the valve by accident.

in the video he seems to just flick off the cap and it deflates!
