The Outwell Excellent Air beds are just brilliant ! We have 2 singles. They have never gone down and are really comfy. Plus they are a bit longer than some others which OH really appreciated as he hated his feet hanging over the end as with previous air beds. And as stated in numerous other threads - it's the only thing I miss about camping !
For years I used an ordinary cheapo airbed which was adequate but never really comfortable. Usually by the morning I found myself more or less sleeping on the ground because the thinnish airbed had deflated so much. I therefore bought a self-inflating camping mat (cheapish one) and at first thought it was better...certainly warmer, but still uncomfortable.
So, I have just splashed out on the Outwell Excellent here
I pumped it up at home and couldn't believe the difference. It is not classed as a double height airbed but it must be twice the height of an ordinary flocked airbed, and so comfortable, and because of the height it can be pumped hard or soft without your backside touching the ground. It is also slightly wider and longer than the typical airbed so plenty of room.
The single is £19.99 and the double version is £24.99. I have not tried it for real yet but I am certainly expecting good results.
