I like airbeds but OH doesn't, so we tried the self-inflating bed rolls, which I liked but OH didn't, so we got 2 single roll-up futons from a shop called Futon World or Futons R Us or somesuch, and they're very comfy.  On the downside, however, they take a lot of room up in the car and they seem to get a bit damp overnight- anyone else noticed this?  So you have to give them a good airing before you can put them away again.  Those Colemans sound fab though, might have to look into them!

We have Fat Airics from Alpkit.com these are self inflating mats and they are not hugely expensive and are very good.

I can't stand airbeds!!

I would second that Fat Airics are a excellent piece of kit.

a bit creaky but a decent nights sleep. now redundant as we bought a TT, but still use them when people some to stay at home

We bought one of the new Outwell excellent air beds. It seems thicker than the standard size we have been used too and there doesn't seem to be much roll together - shame!
