Hi, Exped don't make a double but, as each one comes with a strap you can link two - or more - together...
OH and I tend to have a bit of space between us and our own sleeping bags as I'm a fidget and he rocks(in his sleep)which is really irritating. Oh the days of young love and lust are well and truly gone 
Having slept on an Aero bed, cheapo vinyl airbed, a 5cm SIM, a pile of blankets on the ground, a reeded rubberised cotton airbed (and a box-sided one) with fleecey undersheets, and foil-backed picnic blankets beneath me, I can honestly say this feels the most like a real bed. Yes it's expensive, but I have neck/shoulder issues and sciatica so being comfortable at night is really vital. It'll come in handy for the occasional guest too without the 'ashmatic making love' noises required from a foot pump, or the high-droning of a 12v electric one.
As I don't like tea so I don't mind that not being included

Thanks I will ring them tomorrow. I found two places online that looked as if they had stock but when I rang they didn't. Was told that the importer is expecting them in within the next two weeks. Typical than when I decide to buy no one has them

Hi PB, at least I bought it BEFORE I knew... and I've used it so I can't take it back
Very comfortable, even for a side-sleeper. It's not as wobbly as a straight forward airbed, and oh so much softer than a SIM (the ones I've tried out anyway).
Inflating on its own takes a while but you can leave it to go and have a cup of tea etc and then just add more air as needed with the dinky soft pump supplied. That's not hard work TBH. Deflating takes a bit longer than for an airbed but the trick, as with most SIMs is to fold it over loosely and squeeze out the main air, close the valves (you actually don't need to with this as it's a one wayer), unfold, then re-roll tightly. It's gone back in it's bag fine with this method. Snug but not a struggle.
And it feels good as well, the fabric is soft to the touch and not cold or hard. I'm glad I bought it but won't tell the OH its true cost. Some things are best left to the imagination.
If you DO try or even buy, I'd love to know how you get on. There, permission to spend from me.
