One of these from the states-
Exped
After shipping and tax they're about £200 each which is a proper bargain.

If pack size is a problem,why not try the rubberized canvas airbed.They are much more reliable
we have gone back to these as we did not find the camp bed comfertable and and borrowed a quality sim,but hubby did not like.I like to be able to have my feet outand move aroundwhen i sleep.
I am rubbish at sleeping at home too....

We had similar problems and after going through several versions of air beds invested in 2 fishing beds and omg they are amazing
We went mid range and spent £100 each but they will last for years and made such a diffeence
Onlly down side is if you tight for space in your car as they are fairly bulky

Therm-a-rest Dreamtime XL. Worth every single penny of the £130 quid I paid for mine. Sleep like the proverbial baby on it.

I think this is one of the major problems with camping, so does everyone else judging by how many views this post has had! lol.
I find it really hard to sleep on a SIM, too flat, I like to lie on my side/front with leg and arm hanging off bed. The air beds are either too hard or too soft. I don't like the ones with pillows. An if we use a double one, I find it hard to sleep with OH moving around it disurbs me. Have tried campbeds in the past, but they are too bulky.
I quite like the look of the areo beds also the Hi gear SIM, for got what its called but its quite thick and rounded, but don't want to spend lots only for it to be same as everything else we have had!

Hubby and I have two singles next to each other, cant stand being bounced out of a deep sleep
I tried a multiple cell air bed, to fishing bed and back to air bed again. I have also tried an air bed on top of a camp bed
If you have an electric air bed you can top it up every night , and have a memory foam pad on it if its too hard. Keep searching !

I have an Outwell Posadas bed (2 of these fit in a 2 man pod on a Bear lake for example..)
I have a SIM on top of that. I wrap a quishon round the sim to act as an "undersheet" and then open up the sleeping bag over the quishon so it's like a quilt on top (I also like to sleep with a knee bent).
I sleep better than at home :)
