Hi mufc7

            I have been using a Thermarest Pro Lite 3, in my backpacking tents for the last five years, and it is still in perfect working order, now that I am going for a family tent, I picked up a Campigaz Double QuickBed, for less than a tenner, from Asda, I have to say it is a real piece of nonsense, but hey ho, I will give it a go, I wanted the Airic Wide, but they have sold out, and may not even be running them for 2009, if thats the case, I will be ordering two of the fat Airics, although Thermarest do a similiar model to the Fat Airics for double the money.

I don't know about Go Outdoors but we have several leaks with our coleman comfort and in the end switched to fat airics.  They're fab.

I recently (beginning of August) bought two Outwell airbeds from Go Outdoors in Sheffield ahead of a week long trip to Dorset that took place last week.  On the first night I woke up to find that my airbed had gone flat, probably due to a faulty valve.  I telephoned the shop in Sheffield and told them of the problem and they told me to bring the mat back to the store on my return to Sheffield.  This I did and, after a week's use (albeit in a semi-flat state),without a receipt, they gave me a new one straight away.  The chap I spoke to was a guy called Dave and he was head of the 'airbed' department as it were.  He was very helpful and so based on my experience I don't think you'll have a problem.

think i read somewhere maybe on here that there was a recall for outwell airbeds ? either way i have one and its been ok...

anyway what are these  fat airics ? anyone got a link to them 

(EDIT) found a link,they look rather thin so question is are they realy comfy for us larger heavier types
