Hi there, we are once again faced with the "which airbed to buy" dilema! We started out with one cheapie double Tesco one and a Royal double Flock one. We need to replace the cheaper Tesco one as it keeps going down alot in the night. The Royal Double Flocked one lasted really well for the week, still  going strong. But we now need the replace the other Tesco one. We cant decide between the Argos rubberised one, which is now £14.99, or weather to spalsh out on the Coleman Double Chamber, or Campinggaz one. I get the impression that it really is a lottery with airbeds which work and which go down. It is really worth the extra £10 or so for a "Colemen" one, or will the Argos one last ok? (we prefer the look of the Argos rubberised one, to another Flock one, get the impression that the flock ones are not that good?).

Any advice/experience/comments welcome.

We had one of the rubberised ones for years & sleep really well on it.  Recently, I've thought it seems a little bit flat in the morning, although not enough to warrant pumping.  Thinking of buying a new one & can't decide whether to buy the same again or go for one of the Coleman ones.  I'll keep watching this thread & see what other people think.

We recently got the camping gas flock ones and I didnt sleep too well on it although the tent pitch was a bit dodgy so i wont knock it just yet, at least it stays up!

used to have rubber type but they seem to loose air when they get older. If you do decide on the rubber type make sure you get the one without the built in pillow as it we found it too high.
