Can't see the point of a layer under an airbed as it gets cold from the air around it - although it might help avoid a puncture. Its more important to place the barrier between the airbed and yourself. We use a fleecy mattress cover from Wilkos for this - nice and cosy with the sleeping bag and acts as a sheet too... Helen
Half true, but the cold ground will draw the heat away far more than the surrounding air, it's best and warmest to insulate both sides.

....gone wild camping....

On a serious point-- we know how cold it can get and we have just been awa y with freinds who's kids slept in their own pup tent, as they put the tent up I noticed my freinds hubby put down a -silver survival blanket thingy- he said you can pick them up from Tesco and others for about 50p.........maybe that would be better. cheers gary
