Does anyone know of a double airbed that doesn't go down?

Also are there varying sizes because when you get bedrooms in tents for 2 the blooming thing never fits......

I love camping but this subject is definately starting to get me down. So does anyone know the answer maybe an alternative.

Thanks in antisipation

I still use the old style rubberised cotton airbed, they are still manufactured and they very rarely deflate.
Most modern airbeds are made from plastic with a flock covering and they are very prone to leakage, both from the seams and from minute cracks that develop where they have been folded.

With regard to the size of bedrooms, many manufacturers state the number of berths based on sleeping bags without airbeds.  Most people therefore buy a 3 or 4 berth tent to accommodate two people or a 6 berth tent to accommodate four people in order to ensure that there is room for the airbeds.

I had a Morrisons double airbed - it went down, I have a Tesco's double airbed and it went down as well

My friends red and blue one stayed inflated the whole time - seems to be the best type

Thanks for all the advice. I think it is a big thumbs up for the old style beds, These do actually go down much easier as well.
