Better sleeping bag?

Ditch the airbed and switch to camp bed with a self inflating mattress on top?

. woolen blanket, faom matting/yoga matts , card bord

but one big problem with air beds is they do get cold so if insulation under the bed is not enough for you then a different type of bed is needed

I use some of those foam squares under the airbed and a woolen blanket on top. My daughter doesn't like sleeping bags so uses a duvet but never complains of the cold.

Yes, a foam mat underneath the airbed should make all the difference, I speak from experience a long time ago.

We use a reflective backed picnic rug as a carpet in the bedroom.

Foam bedroll on top of the airbed. The air in the airbed gets cold at night so you need to insulate between yourself and the airbed.

Agreed to a certain extent, but it's best to put any insulation underneath the airbed.

Foam camping mat under the airbed to prevent conduction of heat into the ground.

Airbeds are cold period. They mould as well and I hate them and then sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night, deflated on a hard floor. Worst overused camping item ever..

This suggestion of a self inflating mattress is the best idea in my experience though I would highly recommend you spend big on this to get the best experience.
