Hi,
After an eventful weekend away at the race track the double inflatable final gave up.

we are due to go away in 2 weeks time and I would like new self inflating mats for the children.

Either Gelert Expedition xl, Vango adventure xl or the multimat family premium xl.
I know these are all bigger than the norm, but both my children wriggle in the night and thought it would stop them failing of the floor.

They are at the cheaper end of the market but then I'm not going to get upset if they end up deflating or being punctured by the children.

Does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations on these mats?

We've had the Vangos before never had an issue, even with the dog's claws

Hi Sam

We bought Vango Adventure mats for our kids in halford sale, they've tested them out and apart from leaving greasy marks on the mat(!) they seem fine on them.

You still might be able to get them at this price, they've sold out in a lot of areas but its worth checking just in case.

sale mats

Thanks Nick,
thought I'd secured 2 from Halfords but had a call from the shop I reserved at and then hadn't hot them. So I now have to of the vacanza relax beds as DD saw them and said she rather have a bed (fingers crossed they stay up)
Hopefully I have an electric cool box and kettle reserved too, but my sister is collecting them tonight. The lovely chap at Halfords did try to source another mats but to no avail.

We have the Gelert ones and think they are great. They are on their 3rd season now.

Only one time I reserved something at Halfords was it actually there and that was more luck than anything else as it was the last one one the shelf

Halfords Reserve = Useless - IMHO

Glad you got sorted though and hope you manage to get the other stuff OK
