Hi, fed up with cheap blow up beds and have never found a decent enough camp bed, has anyone any experience of Aerobeds? They're not cheap, so really want to do my research before buying 4 of them! Thanks in advance :)
Dont waste your time or money like i did. Hundreds of pounds over two years. Now have a cocoon excel bed chair for fishermen and it's brilliant and the most comfortable portable bed we have ever used. They are not cheap i.e. 100 each but once you have it and look after it you'll have it for life.
Absolutely. Our Aerobed Active is worth it's weight in gold. Feels like a proper bed. The kids sleep well in their cheap Eurohike airbed and readybed so never bothered getting an Aerobed for then.
I agree areobeds are very comfortable, until the middle of the night when you realise the darn thing has a leak and you have to spend the rest of the night on the ground, and yes it will happen at some point. By the way i also agree that camp beds are really awful. Try a fishermans bed/chair and see what you think.
I would have said yes up until getting a leak last August whilst away in France. Aerobed have been pretty good up to now providing a new valve, then a patch, but still having problems with the bed and now they have ignored 2 e-mails I have sent them with pictures to show them the fault. Have now bought a double Outwell Posadas campbed and we are converted, much better and cheaper.

They are fab but not for people with chronic pain illnesses after a while, too soft n comfy, I need firmer. Im parting with my 2 aerobed active doubles for SIMs and a TF Gear bedchair for myself n lil one. Im surprised they havent been snapped up yet tbh.

Great, lots of info to ponder and mull over. I'm really not keen on camp beds, and SIMs seem to have that dreaded middle bar which does my back in. I'm watching a few aerobeds on Ebay, agree that the kids actually sleep happily in their ready beds so will maybe just get me and my husband one. I'll keep looking and will check out the other makes/fisherman beds some of you have recommended. Thanks for that! ;)
We have aerobeds, after trying many other types of airbed and would have to say they are much better. Get ones with separate chargeable inflater though in case you are away from electric!
Only thing I have found is getting cold in winter. I need to put a mat on top of the bed to keep heat in sleeping bag. I actually thought of using a thin memory foam 'topper' for real comfort! any else used one of these???
Aerobed are also currently ignoring my email over a problem we have - customer services not as good as they used to be - unless they are inundated with problem emails, but thats not a good sign either
