Well we had a double aerobed which we were rally pleased with until one side developed a leak less than a year after buying it and we can't find the hole :(

Not prepared to waste more money on these expensive items I am now wondering about a double campbed rather than air bed. Can anyone recommend one? And are they comfy! The only one I saw had a metal bar down the middle, not exactly romantic was my thought but does it get in the way as much as it looks like it does?

Cheers everyone

hi debs just go and get a outwell double posadas they are brilliant , as for the middle bar getting in the way well IN THE WAY OFF WHAT hope you are not talking nookie lol we have had no problems with ours yes A BIT OF NOOKIE ,
as long as you get a couple of sims on top you will sleep like a log .
just make sure that it will fit in your bedroom pod as they are quite big, but fold down and erect so easy . also the kampa one is good aswell good luck - shaun

We have one to and we put an airbed on top, so comfy and high just like being at home, plus of room underneath to store stuff out of sight, much more important than nookie

Just thinking of doing the same after sleeping on a friends single bed and SIM.

Is a 5cm SIM sufficient to iron out the centre bar, for general sleeping arrangements.

Sure with a bit of imagination we can work round it if "restless"

No 5 cm SIM does not cover the bar in the middle, but where's there's a will, there's a way!

We have 2 x double posadas beds

One has a 7.5 double outwell serenity sim and the other has 2 x 5cm single sims.

I personally think the 2 x singles sit better but they don't cover the centre bar.

Pretty decent kip and far better than air beds.

We have a double Vango 7.5cm SIM. It is amazingly comfortable on its own and no squeaking! (also no chance of falling out!)
