Having been recommended the aerobed (was going to buy double campbed), I have been on the website and wondered which one you would recommend.  I dont have EHU so it has to be one which can be used with the rechargeable pump, which as far as I can see needs to be either the Active, Active dual zone or Active raised.  Anyone got any opinons or advice please.  I like the look of the premier raised but I think I am right in saying it has an integrated pump and I would need EHU.

I have an active dual zone - its brilliant, just like sleeping on a normal mattress!

it comes with a rechargeable pump (you can charge the pump for 12v too)

i wouldnt go back to any other airbed or inflating mat now!

Cheers

If its like my Aerobed then the pump is seperate, you can charge it up from a mains socket or from your car lighter socket.  Best inflatable campbed I've ever owned, never deflated in the midle fo the night, infact the last time I used it it stayed up for a whole week!!

thanks for posting this... it made me realise how decent the airbed my sil offered to lend us is... and I went and bought a 2nd single because 1m wide is great for my sleeping position and hubby can have the same. neither of us are overly tall so I ordered the active raised version for £30... hubby not convinced yet but I hope he will be when it arrives. :)

What is the difference between these and normal air beds? do they feel the same to sleep on?

Well we got the platinum raised for just over £100... It has support zones in it so none of that rolling into each other but the pump is built in so if we didn't have EHU not sure how we would blow it up ! Not planning to go without electric anyway so not going to worry too much ... We haven't yet slept on ours for a night yet ... But the couple of times that it has been blown up it felt better than my bed at home !

I was after the platinum raised one, but noticed it wasnt there, if its far too low for me to sleep on when I get it I am going to buy a double campbed and stick it on the top!

It's not low ....it's at least 2ft tall .. Like a double bed .. I was worrying it would be to high for tent ... So we put tent up last weekend to try it ... It was great !
