Hello again!

Looking for recommendations on double airbeds.  Looking for something good quality which will help a lady with a bad back (I've had a spinal fusion) get at least half a good night's sleep - whilst sharing with her 6'2" husband!!

Have been looking at coleman queen and the double chamber double.

Thanks

hi there

we have had a double ready bed for a couple of years and it was great, however last year i saw on that ready bed had a king size version out! we got it and it is so comfy and spacious, it has an attatched duvet so no need to take sleeping bags. its quite deep also, it comes with its own battery pump, the  only thing is the actual size when packed down is quite big, but if you have the room its worth it.

We'd second the Coleman Comfort too!

My aerobed went down on Thursday night, woke up Friday morning felling as though a marshmallow had swallowed me.  Looked at the 2 mutts and we all resembled toad in the hole

So have now sent the label back to aerobed for a replacement (knew i had a leak, was hoping i could 'wing' it for this weekend...)

Got 2 double airbeds and piled them up for the rest of the weekend - They are tiny!  Much shorter and only doubles

Not a patch on my lovely aerobed, would recommend them anytime.  Plus it is over 12 months since i bought it, so 10/10 for aerobed guarantees

I'm afraid I'm not a fan of Readybeds, they have their plus points and they could be so good with only a little extra thought. I've had both the single and the double. I'm on my own so I don't need the double, but I do like the room. The single suffers from a bit of instability so it feels like sleeping on a boat - the double solves that problem.

The biggest problem is that they are not long enough and the so called sleeping bag is too flimsy. Unless you're camping only in warm balmy conditions you'd be freezing cold. On the upside, I've never had one deflate on me, and that's in 6 years. (they are now effective sleepover beds for my kids friends in my house) 

I got the Intex double height comfort top electric airbed for this year, and it's the 'mutts nuts', very stable and high. I spent alot of money on it though and I wish I'd gone for the Outwell double airbed that's in Argos instead

It's only new this year so it's not really tried and tested, but someone (sorry I can't find the post) on here said that it is deeper than most, nearly double height in fact, and also liked the way it had a stable edge system all the way around the outside. I think it's possibly a contender to the Aerobed Raised active which is nearly twice the price.

If you get the aerobed on offer though (usually several times a year) you can get it quite a bit cheaper

I paid £49.99 fo mine with promo codes etc

Before that had a queen raised intex that went down on 3rd trip.  As it was over 3 months old they wouldn't do anything, so it worked out the most expensive in the end

ok - sounds like aerobed is the way to go - will now attempt a search on google for one with a good price.

Is it worth going for the aerobed above the active spec?

Are the none outdoor ones still ok for camping?

Thanks

(PS read that I could have done better by price matching at Go for my Yeomans tent last week - ih well you win some and you lose some (please don't tell the DH and please help me find some other bargains to try and recoup anything!!!)

Hi

They have the aerobed overnighter with pump double for £39.99 in TJ Hughes, I have 3 of these airbeds and are great to sleep on, very robust and no hassel pumping them up or deflating them

Good luck

Pete
