Whilst equipment gathering and browsing various sites for bargains as on a limited budget for stuff, I came across this:
Steel Framed Camping Bed

for £14.99 at Argos it looks very much like the Gelert one (only a couple of cm's difference and Aluminium) which I've not seen for less than £24.50

Gelert Bed

Just thought I'd share as I now know when buying equipment for several people it adds up.

We use airbeds on top of campbeds, very comfy and warmer than being on the ground.

Hi Beagle 1, I've recently changed from airbed to camp bed as they are a lot more comfy and you get a better nights sleep. The air beds can deflate a bit in the night and you end up with a bad back in the morning sometimes. I've bought a sunncamp extra large camp bed off ebay and it is really sturdy and comfy. Hope that helps.

Thanks Ai, we are going for our first trip next weekend with airbeds, but if they don't work out I will get campbeds instead. Really looking forward to camping for the first time
