Hi there and welcome to UKCS. We always use cotton sheets between the airbed and the bags. We have never had a problem with condonsation or feeling cold.

Hope this helps

We found that when we switched from  air beds to camp beds (because of my bad back )  an unexspected bonus was that the bag still feels dry and fluffy  in the morning instead of a bit damp and flat so its camp beds for us also you get storage space underneath

The big vinyl-backed picnic mats are now £4.99 in Millets (priced on tag at £9.99). Or, you can get a freebie from M&S with x 6 deli items (we have been eating thin sliced ham, sausage rolls and pate all week!  )

Pricey yeah but you get what you pay  for and I camp enough to make the investment worthwhile. They have a lifetime guarantee too.

I did get mine by scouring the web and ended up paying £45 for each one.

Seeing as how I regularly spent £20-30 on a new airbed every season and sometimes more than once I reckon its a good deal :-)

Try wearing a woolly hat in bed. I spent three months camping one summer and wore my hat every night. It is great fun to wake up warm and crawl out of your tent to see your fellow campers shivering!!
