ive always used a single air bed when camping, but ive been looking at the raised air beds because im not getting any younger and find getting up off a sigle air bed a bit difficult, im not a serious camper only go a couple of times a year, so i dont want to buy an expensive raised air bed, but im wondering has anyone ever used like 2 or even 3 air beds on top of each other and was it succsesful ?

Likewise, my decrepitude is beginning to make climbing out of an ordinary air bed if not awkward, at least a noisy affair with far too many ooos and arrrs to entertain the neighbours!

Bought a double/convertible air bed from Lidl (middle aisle limited offer) a few years ago, you could clip the two singles together side by side as a single height double bed, or stacked as a double height single bed. IIRC, think they were under £20. Very successful and comfortable it was too.

They were quite deep beds, so perhaps better height than many even as a single, but perfect as a double depth stack.

Couple of points, don't just stack two ordinary beds on top of each other, think you'll find they'll be too 'wobbly' and will likely slip apart, you NEED them to attach to each other for stability (mine have 3 straps/clips on each side), and a stack of 3 would be like sleeping on a jelly, if indeed you could stay on top long enough to get to sleep!

So yes, it's possible, and IMHO VERY successful. .... using the right beds of course!

I have actually just tried this (thanks for the cool idea, probably wouldn’t have thought of it otherwise) and it is much comfier than one and a good height to sit on. Only moved a bit but I think it does need something to stabilise the two, so I will have to think about that.

I've just listened to Aldous Huxley's comedy Antic Hay on BBC Radio 4.
The main character has invented pneumatic trousers for sitting on hard church pews. Set in the 1920's he envisaged inflatable rubber sections under the trouser seat and an air hose running under your shirt to an accessible mouthpiece.
Weirdly, using modern self inflating mat technology this product could actually be realised as a practical consumer devise. Unscrewing the air caps in each pocket prior to sitting down would allow your trousers to self inflate for extra comfort on a hard seat.

-------------
Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.
