Hiya ............... I love my Fat Airic!!!!!!

We have the Coleman Comfort airbeds and the Fat Airics.  Sorry to all Coleman Comfort lovers but the Fat Airics win hands down.  They are soooooo easy, just leave them to inflate, a couple of puffs at the end and Airics your uncle!!!!   When you are packing up you just roll them and your off.  Definately  for Fat Airics............go for it!!!!!!

I think I'll stick with my Coleman ... I haven't enough space in the car for a couple of puffs for the end of the bed

We are very happy with our Coleman airbeds; you can get the Comfort (double or single size), the double has separate chambers each side so avoids that feeling of seasickness you often experience on airbeds;  when your other half gets up or turns over during the night!

Then there is the Pillowtop, which is the same size as the Comfort, only deeper and only single chamber. The zip-off quilted mattress top is nice and luxurious and so makes for a cosy sleeping experience.

The Coleman Double High is in fact a 5ft wide bed and is excellent if your bedroom inner will accommodate a  high airbed (no good for inners with sloping sides though, unless the ground area is substantially bigger than the floor area of the bed). Again, this is a single chamber bed but inflates quickly and is quite firm and very comfortable. As with all high airbeds, is certainly easier to get in and out of!

We haven't tried a Fat Airic but we have considered them, especially with a view to overnights. We decided that, with the airbeds taking just a minute or two to inflate / deflate, and with the inclusion of a 12v pump for those pitches where there is no EHU, the Airics were not necessarily going to make life easier (and, we have read that they take some manual deflating/rolling and so it is probably easier for us to use 3 x double airbeds rather than 5 x Airic mats).
