Hi - what does anyone recommend for a comfy nights sleep for a couple of adults int a tent. We dont have much luck with airbeds - punctures or faulty valves see to be common

Thanks

Many thanks - I will get down there tomorrow.

Have tried both camp beds and air beds and air beds are better even if they sometimes need to be reinflated. Camp beds took up too much room and we have an 8 man tent. Needed to use 3 pods for sleeping instead of 2 when using air beds. We only used them for 2 weeks and because the ground was soft the frames bent on 2 so we  took those to the tip but kept the canvas. Also camp beds take up too much valuable boot or roof box space !

Have tried SI matresses, Outwell and Aldi ones and found them just too uncomfy for some one with a 'traditionally built' English figure.  (Aldi ones were very poor quality btw). Campbeds were an improvement but too firm and if you get one with a good size sleeping area it's enormous (even tried SI mat on top of campbed).  Best nights sleep we've had has been on the airbed - we just reinflate every couple of nights
