Hi could any one tell me if putting an Emergency Survival Blanket http://www.winfieldsmegastore.com/camping_equipment/survival_equipment/gelert/emergency_blanket/gelert_emergency_blanket/svl097/assort/product.htmlunderneath of the airbed whilst camping would help to redude heat loss, or would a picnic rug be better, along with a fleece blanket on top of the air bed

We went the week before Easter ( gail force winds on a coastal site!!) and put an emergency survival blanket on the bedroom pod floor and then a picnic blanket and then the airbed on top. 

I also used thermal fleece covers from Dunelm (which are brilliant and cheap)  as a sheet on the airbed and then the sleeping bag. 

A lot of faff but I was lovely and warm.  None of it takes up much room and if it extends our camping season then worth it.

thanks for that layers are the way to go will have to stock up thanks again

Poundland had these in stock last year, not checked this years camping stock yet. We use them under our airbed, they are big enough that 1 fits under a double airbed.

Fold up tiny too.

I do exactly the same with a fleece liner in the bags if night time temp is particularly low - we did this at Easter when it was 3 degs and we were fine
