I now use a camp bed with my 10cm SIM, but only because I have a knee problem. Personally I sleep better with the SIM on the floor but I can get up from the camp bed easier than the floor, If you are fit enough I'd try sim alone before spending on a camp bed. It' another bulky thing to pack an another thing than needs assembled.   As pointed out already, they are good for hiding all your debris underneath though :).

I have a camp bed on top of which I use an airbed. Between the airbed and the camp be I put a picnic blanket and then I put a fitted sheet over the airbed. I sleep very well and it is much easier to get out of bed in the morning.

We have used both and would opt for campbed every time also being able to use the space underneath is a added bonus
