Hi

We just got back as well and didn't have that many full nights either but that was mainly due to the heat!  We have single blow ups so that one moving doesnt disturb the other - sorry - thats all I can suggest.

I've found, up until now, the most comfortable sleep I can get is with a campbed with a fat airic on top. It's not ideal if space is an issue, a 3 berth outwell bed room can only take two campbeds side by side, with very little legroom between.

Then, whether good or bad, it's single, comfortable sleep, and no cuddling the OH  Plus on top of that, pack size of both compared to the coleman comfort double. But where it comes into it's own, I don't need to pack extra picnic rugs and fleece blankets to layer up ground protection, so it kinda cancels out the extra pack size.

I guess it's one of those situations where a bit of research and experimentation wouldn't go amiss, to try and find the best solution to suit yourselves. Any alternative has to be better than 3 sleepless weeks, so it might be worth a trip to a camping shop and see if they have campbeds up you can try out for size. Or at least something as a suitable alternative, beyond that, I can't be much more help I'm afraid.

Good luck, I do hope you find something that will suit you, nothing worse than coming home more worn out than when you left

We have a Coleman Double Comfort air bed. It has 2 seperate sides that inflate seperately, so you don't bounce about like a pea on a drum, as you do with regular air beds. They have some sort of support inside which makes them even more comfortable. I have used 'Argos' type mattresses before, this is different, firmer and comfortable. It is the same size as an ordinary air matress but a bit more expensive. However we felt it is money well spent.

Another vote for Coleman comfort. Someone saw them on Amazon (I think ) for around 20 pounds recently. And we saw them in a local camping store for €20 a couple of weeks ago. What a bargain and very comfortable :)

I vote for the Coleman comfort double. It is really very comfortable. I have to share mine with my daughter who is a worst wriggler and I did not feel her move at all! I got mine off amazon for under £20 with free supersaver delivery!

Ooh that sounds good and cheap. I'm now torn between a coleman comfort and a fat airic. No room for both!!

We've got 2 of the red/blue ones from Argos - we sleep 1 adult 1 child on each in double sleeping bags - tend to be ok (means I don't have to listen to snoring!) Just bought a single Vango as I had the 2 kids myself last thurs, but I overinflated it and felt I was sleeping on a rock! It had the velour flock and a very high tech looking valve - think it would be ok if I hadn't inflated it so much!
