We've had numerous airbeds over the years, cheap ones from Tesco, Aldi, Asda, an Intex one and a rubber type one and they have all eventually let us down. We've used a raised Aerobed since 2011, we make sure its well insulated underneath and then have a sheepskin type mattress protector that we put on top before putting on a fitted sheet. Its never let us down.....yet!!
My hubby has rheumatoid arthritis and would struggle with a SIM only, so if we need to change in the future it will be campbeds with SIMs on top.

Mine (a double) was £9.99 in Asda and has been going strong since 2010.

I'm considering a Posada camp bed as well, as I now have trouble getting up from such a low level. Getting old is damn nuisance (but preferable to the alternative, I suppose).

With me being a lot younger than most on here... ok then, starting camping a lot later in life... and being fortunate enough to find these forums at the same time, I was, moreover, also fortunate enough to begin my camping career in an era when everyone was championing the SIM & Camp bed combo, so thanks to these forums, and a bit of luck with my timing, I streaked straight past the air bed route, and got it right first time!

I guess I really should thank everyone for doing the research (and suffering untold years of unsettled sleep in the process!) for me!

Yours smuggly (and snuggly!)

We have had cheap airbeds & then moved onto the Coleman double chamber airbed. Thats been replaced twice already under guarantee & needs replacing again! We saw the Outwell 5cm sim on offer at £20 so we bought 2 of them today from Go Outdoors. I would never buy another airbed they never seem to last for us.
