Anything ,newspaper , flattened cardboard boxes , blankets, cell foam mats, picnic rugs ,straw beach mats ..


But its better to put something on the TOP to stop the cold coming into contact with you.

My preference is a plastic or foil backed picnic rug on top of airbeds. some use the mattress covers, like fake sheepskin, or the quilted ones, a duvet instead of a sheet.

No point insulating under the airbed, if its a choice between either/OR , because the air inside will still be cold air.

We use foil backed picnic rugs on the floor then thermal fleece topper (from Dunelm Mill) on top of the airbed followed by a fitted sheet.
Then we have good quailty sleeping bags and if it's really cold, a fleece blanket on top of the sleeping bag!

We use a picnic rug underneath the bed and then put one half of a double sleeping bag I cut in half, then put a double fitted sheet over the top and then a thick duvet on top and we were toasty warm last time but the 2 weekends before where we hadn't packed the picnic rug and sleeping bag I was freezing and was awake most of the night

Hi

We use a mix of picnic rugs and foam underlay that you use for wood flooring
