ok after some research its down to Aerobed, Nash fishing chairbed or a 10cms sim. Any thoughts on the pros and cons of these
I can't give you an answer on the Aerobed as I've never used one. I have never got on with conventional airbeds, I always seem to slide off, never seem to be able to inflate it to a comfortable level or I get one that goes down in the middle of the night!
Nash bedchair:- It is quite big and bulky,
 mine is the Wideboy and you will need quite a big tent to accommodate it. While it obviously folds it is still big but as I said in an earlier post there is a space in my Landy that is tailor made for it! When it is set up it is extremely warm and comfortable, it is padded so you do not get that "cold back" feeling that you get with some camp-cot type campbeds. It also has a built in pillow, although I prefer to use it with an additional thin pillow. It does dip in the middle slightly, for me it added to the feeling of security, i.e. feeling like I am not going to fall out but I suspect that some people may feel that they are sleeping on a tired old mattress......
10cm SIM, can't help you there either, but I used to camp on a 5cm thick double sized Outwell SIM. It felt like sleeping on a firm mattress, which suits me fine but I could understand if it feels too hard for some people. Being self inflating it was easy to set up but a bit of a wrestling match to get it deflated and folded up again! I was always warm enough and I never had a bad nights sleep on it. I would still be using it today but the old body cannae handle the getting up off the floor bit anymore!
Hope I have been some help to you.

and a bit of a fussy old bird 
I have a 10cm sim, blanket on top, then a big puffy vango nitestar bag, with an extra blanket on stand-by. You could put one of those foam mattress toppers on a sim or an air bed.
