We have 2 of the Posados double beds.
Not used them in 'anger' yet but we have also purchased 4 cheap SIM from Go which will sit on top .
This does appear to be very comfortable but we will find out for sure on our next trip in 2 weeks.
Im thinking of using our SIMs on top of ours when it arrives too. We've got what sounds like exactly the same as your Cleck Campers.

Thank you so much for posting this Dezzie, think you might have just answered my prayers, need a double bed for the tent for the lay out
I normally use an airbed and oh a single campbed, which we use for storage underneath.
The 2 kids have the cheap campbeds but always want to swap with dad, so we had decided a double bed for us and another decent single for the kids, I had looked at the coleman raised queen airbed but whilst looking fab, oh prefers campbeds and tbh I was reluctant to lose the storage space.
We are away on Friday so prob too late for this weekend but think will defo be investing in one of these for the summer!
Please let us know how you got one with yours please.

Might be worth putting some carpet under those Posados bed legs. Wouldn't want you having them go through the bedroom floor . Look nice though. We are both 'fatties' so I think the canvas would pull at the stiching !

Im planning on putting a few of the rubber car mats that poundland sell under the legs - even if I buy two and cut them into quarters, that should be enough to sit the legs on (I think).

Would not be without our camp beds now, have tried everything over the years but seem to have it down to a fine art now, this is what we have.
A camp bed each, a heat reflective sheet on top, followed by a half inflated air bed inside our old sleeping bags, that make it very soft and comfy, it’s all held in place by the wife’s handmade elasticated sheet, we then use a quality duvet each + a throw to use if it gets cold at night and a proper pillow from our home bed.
This keeps us snug and warn and also gives us a decent hight off the ground making it very easy to get out of in the morning, it also provides valuable storage space for boxes underneath.
We stand the feet of the camp beds in old jam jar lids to preserve the floor, they work a treat, just remember what suits us may not be your cup of tea, it’s the old personal choice thing again, but try experimenting with various set up’s, that’s half the fun.
after having a nightmare of a time with our air beds at weekend (they went in skip Monday morning when packing up) i don't know what to get to sleep on, do i go for a new air bed or camp bed or sim's??? we stared the weekend off on a high air bed cos of OH disability makes getting up easier but found it was deflating so swapped with my dad for his standard air bed which also deflated so ended up constantly pumping them up n waking every morning on the floor.....
Hi, If you have airbeds that go down ... you can't really blame ALL airbeds . It's just yours that have a problem. Much like car tyres ... if you had a slow puncture , you wouldn't blame all tyres , then go changing to wooden wheels ! Thousands of people use airbeds and theyre very comfy and in general are also very reliable. However , as another person says above .... " it’s the old personal choice thing again ".

Absolutely fantastic! Im delighted with it. Its the height of a normal bed, which means storage space underneath and no struggling to get in and out of it. Its so stable that you can sit at the side or the end and it wont tumble. Really sturdy and very very well built. The wife and I just lay on top of it to try it and its very comfortable too. Well worth the £60 we paid for it.
Its quite heavy to carry when folded, but that only gives me reassurance that it's strong enough to hold my big frame and my wife's not so big frame. The bag it comes in isnt one that you need a song and dance to get it in and out of either.
My advice to anyone who has fallen foul of their airbeds - Get a posadas. You wont regret it!
I am SO impressed with this bed I might even sleep in it tonight.
