New to the site and camping, so please go gentle on me!
Me and the missus have been looking at seeing more of the country from our motorbike, I have camped before YEARS!!!! ago, so consider myself a complete newbie.. Wendy is a typical Scouse woman, she would prefer the tent to have showers, a loo with music and a clinique counter in the corner....
Beside this, she is prepared to give it a go, so it's my duty to make it as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible.
We have most things, as being a HGV driver, I have to kip out and cook for myself. We don't have inflatable mats, and with riding a bike, space is at a premium.
Please could any of you advise us on some decent quality self inflating mats?

Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
Buy the thickest in the maximum pack size that you can carry or afford.
Good luck!

We bought the Outwell SIMs after putting up with years of deflating airbeds. Found the Outwells very good - we got 2x5cm and 1x7cm. Being wusses, we put foam sleeping mats under them and they are incredibly comfortable. The added bonus is they are much warmer than airbeds. This is all IMHO, of course.
Sorry - meant to say welcome. It's always good to see new people on here. I got so much help from this Forum when we started camping and I'm still learning loads from other people.

Thanks Fiona!
Much appreciated, I suppose we're lucky in that we have a couple of camping stores and an extremely decent mil surplus store close by.. I had thought about a foam mat under the bed, to increase insulation, but will have to see how things pack out.
