Hi

I just wondered if anyone had any experience of either of the following beds ?

Outwell Posadas

or

Kampa Together Double

We were looking at a double airbed but quite liked the idea of not having to inflate these.

Don't know about those, but we use two "ThermaRest DreamTime XL's" fastended together with there own straps, to make a Queensize bed, uber comfortable, and does us for our fortnights camping in France.

We looked at getting a Kampa Together last year and they were never imported!

Another one has been seen in one of the magazines, but I'm not holding my breath!

A little more research finds that the Posadas Double is only introduced this year, presently only availale for pre-order, so still may not be imported!!!

Hi
The Kampa one was superb when we looked at it at the trade show but I felt it was way to big when it was packed down, I could get into the bag and im not small. It was never brought into the country as far as I know.
The Outwell double bed packs down pretty good, 100 x 27 x 20 cm and is really comfortable but as with any of this style of double bed you do get the bar down the middle. Its a big purchase but if you put say the vango 7.5cm double self inflating mat on top then you will have one of the best double bed set ups around.

UPDATE

I've bought a Kampa Double Together from Norwich Camping & Leisure. £59.99

We slept on it last night with our Fat Airics on top. Very comfy. In our pod at Thetford.

As Gary says it's not small or light when packed, but space is not a major issue for us, but we both suffer with our backs so comfort is!

The lady in the shop said they had design/production issues and they only arrived last week.

The outwell looks great - any suggestions for a foam mattress to go on top?

When I considered one of these I was going to get a Decathlon sleepin bed double to go on top, basically sim type with bottom cover and duvet style upper connected, pillows too. Weight restrictions put me off tho.

We received our 2 double Posadas beds on Friday , i must say i am very impressed.
Simple to erect and put away.
I'm 6ft2 and 18 stone and they appear to be very strong and secure.
I think we will have some sort of thin mattress to add to the comfort and then i'm sure we'll have the perfect camp bed.

Kampa are bringing out a double bed very much like the Outwell Posadas. i.e like 2 singles joined together. Looks good. Saw it in a C & CC magazine.

No use for me, I was looking for summit without anything down the middle restricting to one side, if I could get my double bed in the car id take it lol, I love space just for me.

just an idea but worth a look check out to see if you have any web sites in your area called freegal or freecycle here in stockport where i live its called freegal basically it is for people clearing items out that they dont use anymore and instead of going in the bin or tip they are offered free of charge to any one who can collect, it is set up by the goverment to encourage people to recycle and cut down on landfill, air beds are allways popping up i just picked up two singles from a guy who has never used them they were ideal and completley free of charge, theres all sorts of items being offered you never know what will come up,
