Which camp beds do you have for your kids? Ours have been on cheap airbeds since we started camping, when we upgraded to an aerobed they got our SI mats but my daughter's complained of a sore back with that. I don't want to go back to airbeds as neither of them actually manages to stay on for the whole night, I was wondering about some way of bungeeing them in place but not sure that would be safe! They're 8 and 6 and I wonder whether camp beds might be a better option for them.

Hi Mairij
Not competent with links, but it's the Quest concertina that folds up into a bag, similar to the camping chairs. I found these not as rigid as the metal framed ones.

Must admit I'd be nervous of those straps along the sides of the bed. Have you done anything to make sure the children won't get tangled?

I bought an adult ready bed for my 6 yr old for camping last year, got a few quid off in argos when prices were reduced. Loads of reviews say they deflate etc hers has been fine up to now(touch wood). Because the sleeping bag is connected to it no roll off, my lil one is an active sleeper too.

My son uses a four legged camp bed (about £13.99) with his SI mat on top, he's very happy with this.

I resurrected my two ready beds recently, since my intex double height (no splits in it) was being loaned to my fairly infirm Dad.....(brill job by the way)
The secret to ready beds is to insulate well underneath....and extra bedding on top. In this case our own duvets, a single sized one and my king sized one. We were as snug as a bug in a rug.
If I was any taller than my paltry 5'3.5'', I'd not enjoy sleeping in the Readybed, as it's barely up to my chin as it is. If you're a short arse like me then the Readybed isnt' so bad....
