Sleeping bag descriptions are notoriously misleading, this is a regular topic on here.  Two seasons mean Summer & late Spring/early Autumn.  You will notice the cold in them even in July.  I wouldn't be comfortable in less than a 3 season bag, even then the descriptions & specifications vary wildly.  What you put beneath you will also make a big impact.  You need insulation below you like a foam mat.  Airbeds are quite cold to sleep on.  We take a fan heater too & leave that on low when it is cold overnight.

Something underneath then on the airbed, you might be fine with the bags you've got, but take a couple of blankets just incase it turns nippy

We put thermal backed picnic blankets on the ground, then put a thremal sheepskin topper (from Dunelm Mill and the best thing we ever bought!) and a fitted sheet on top of the airbed. Sleeping bag and if it's really cold we take fleece blankets too.

We went away for the May bank holiday and my middle son was too hot and ended up just using his fleece blanket!!

We have a plastic backed picnic blanket under the airbed, the Dunelm fleece over the top the sleeping bags and if nec a balnket over the top. we camped the wekend after easter and were very cosy at night with a hat on our heads and a hot water bottle to warm up the bags. My dughters partner thinks we are wimps as he was going to bivvy out..

thee fleece was an idea I picked up from this site it really works
