Put an old army blanket on the air bed,it must be wool, get them from charity shops.At night do not put your head down inside the sleeping bag as your breath will cause you to get cold and it will make condensation.

We have the outwell contour double sleeping bag on an airbed but we put a picnic blanket underneath the bed, a fleece blanket on top of the bed and then a bedsheet on top of that. Then the sleeping bag and have never had a problem.
If it's really cold, we put a duvet on top of the sleeping bag, but again, still no problems and nice and cosy.

Wow so pleased I found this thread! I had the same problem for the first time recently in a new sleeping bag, even though I had a fleece blanket on the air bed. I was baffled, and to be honest, as we were at a motorbike rally and had rather a late night and rather a lot to drink, I did start to wonder whether I had had an accident in the middle of the night lol!  However the fact that my fleecy pjs were dry reassured me on that one! Will try a picnic blanket next time, thanks!

Even more effective, and a trick i have often used when staying in a hotel with those horrible plastic mattress covers fitted is to put a large cotton bathtowel under it, and condensation or persepiration gets absorbed instantly, giving a much more comfortable nights sleep. Just remove them and air them by day, they dont take long and can easily be replaced ready for the next night.
