Hi, I'm on night 3 of 7 away and the children had the outwell sleep system. Great ideas to attach the duvet to the cover on the blow up beds.
However when the children move the creak and make horrid noises, I have to wriggle bottoms for children. Which means I'm awake listen in case they stir but its just them moving in their sleep.

Has anybody else had this problem and how did they rectify the issue.

Thanks Sam

Not sure what the solution is. My only suggestion would be to look at Self Inflating Mats which will probably not suffer from the noise issue and will be warmer than the air mattress. I know this will not cure the immediate problem but something you could look at on your return..?

Is the noise just keeping you awake and not the kids..? If so maybe ear plugs for you..?

Sorry probably not very helpful, I'm sure others will come along with more practical and sensible solutions...

When the kids are asleep let the air out of the air beds. If there like most kids they will still sleep on anything.

I'm sure this suggestion would be in breach of their human rights...?

Not feed them as many baked beans or not blowing the air beds up so much might help. Are the beds touching each other and rubbing together?

Seriously that is the answer, also flock topped airbeds don't suffer with this problem.
