It is the temperature difference as much as anything that causes this, how I got around it was to use a camping roll mat under the airbed, then a flocked airbed, then an old sleeping bag unzipped and laid over the airbed, tucked under the edges so it stays put, then me in a 3 season sleeping bag - and because I'm nesh, another sleeping bag over the top if it is really chilly.  I remember from my Guide days, 'as much under you as over you'.

The camping roll mat should stop the cold striking up into the airbed from the ground, and the old sleeping bag over it should stop the body heat going the other way, and also absorb any moisture. Then raise it in the morning to air it all.

Bingo - dry beds!
