I am going camping at the end of April and after many years of sleeping on cheap inflatable mattresses have decided to spend some money and invest in a decent one so that I can get the best sleep possible. I don't tend to sleep well when camping so want to try and make it as comfy as possible.
I had been looking at the Aerobed Active Dual Zone as this seems to be more of a premium mattress. Also me and my other half tend to fidget a lot in the night so the dual compartments will help with that. However I have read mixed things about these beds and have read that the Coleman dual chamber double is also a very good mattress albeit a lot cheaper.
To be honest I'm not bothered about the price because I have scrimped over the years and am ready to pay what I need to have a good nights sleep but I really want to know whether it is worth me paying more for the Aerobed than the Coleman or whether it's just wasted money. The Aerobed comes in at around £99 whereas the Coleman is around £30.
As mentioned the main focus is comfort but can anyone who has experienced either of these airbeds advise as to which is the best, taking price out of the equation.
I am going to purchase online in the next week so any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
not used this particular model, i have the raised comfort and LOVE my aerobed, wouldn't be with out mine!!!! we did have a puncture and it was replaced within 2 days no questions asked great service even though we bought it from tesco direct!!

We have just thrown our coleman away - do not recommend. Unfortunately I was on the side that deflated throughout the night, am now in the process of buyin an aerobed dual zone, will let you know how I get on (hopefully will arrive before next weekend!)
We have the older Coleman Comfort double and so far, after 3 years of use camping and as a guest mattress at home, we have not had any problems at all. I find it extemely comfortable and the problem of being bounced about like a pea on a drum when your partner wriggles about at night, is not a problem at all !!
My only one problem with it, is that it is not a double height mattress. I would have really liked to be higher up off the floor. This is not a comfort reason ( the coleman is very very comfy ), just a personal preference. Our next air bed will be a double height one.
