Air Bed for me, I think most people over inflate them hence the dislike by some I do use a sim as well and as others have said don't over inflate it makes them uncomfortable

Try SIM's on the floor to start with then if you feel you need a bit more comfort get camp beds and put the SIM's on top.
We started on 5cm SIM's on the floor which were fine (even for me at 17 stone) but with the advancing years (and subsequent aches and pains) we splashed out on a double Outwell Posadas this year and put the SIM on top, never had such a good nights sleep in a tent as we have with the Posadas!

If you sleep fine on the floor, then a SIM would appear to be the perfect compromise. We have the Vango Comfort double, which is 10cm thick. It is quite bulky when packed but it suits us both very well; I am prone to sciatica, and my partner has Parkinson's, so we have specific needs for a firm but supportive bed. With a big rug that extends out on either side, we can make a very cosy nest with square footed sleeping bags.

We have been using a Zonesleep mattress topper over the summer and it has meant that we no longer wake up with aching hipbones or sore backs.
