Airbed vs Campbed vs SIM (What should I sleep on?) 

to be fair, this is totally subjective and as with any piece of furniture - different things suit different people. I have campbeds, SIMs and Airbeds and I find by far that the airbed is the most comfortable, for me. I'm a side sleeper and have yet to find a campbed which is comfortable. Also campbeds are very narrow in comparison to an airbed. Good single airbeds are 99cm wide, even the Posadas XL is only 77cm wide and that includes the metal bars down each side. Where I am camping with electric my first choice is always the airbed. I have the Intex beds and the aerobed. I have 6 airbeds in total, all except the aerobed around 6-8 years old and still going strong. the aerobed is 3 years old. In comparison I have had my Zempire Slumberlite Pro SIMs replaced 4 times under warranty and do not trust them at all. I have a bad back and am 6ft tall. I find a good airbed to be the most comfortable and most supportive for me Everyone has their own needs, their own experiences. It is not clear cut

good comment

Totally agree 👍🏼 all ive ever had with airbed is issues and back ache from them constantly going down, just recently came back from a week long camping trip in Norfolk with a camp bed and 10cm SIM i slept so much better 😁

Put a foil survival blanket with the foil side facing towards your body underneath. That can help keep you warm.

@@cmreagin thanks I will pack some.

@@simmer484 don't forget a hot water bottle or 4 disposable hand-warmers in the bed with you.

I put a fitted sheet on mine and that solved the sweaty issues.

You can’t beat the old cotton airbed in terms of quality, it is a shame that they don’t make them anymore.

@@AttwoollsCoUk Nope not even close. And those were used for many campings every summer and sleepovers again and again and never broke or leaked. But lets hope these will last at least some haha.

It’s worth the journey, especially as we’ve just extended our showroom.

It is the Outwell Posadas Camp Bed. www.attwoolls.co.uk/outwell-posadas-folding-camp-bed-xl

Unfortunately we don’t sell or ship to anywhere outside of the UK. I am sorry about this.

I’m terms of SIM widths there isn’t really much options when you are looking for 120cm. The only thing you can do is opt for two doubles and a single which would give you a bit of room spare. 60cm per person is based of a foam roll mat but admittedly isn’t a true representation of the majority of the sleeping options on the market.

Susan Stebila we have quite a few, you are welcome to look at the link below as it has our whole range there. www.attwoolls.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=Double+mat

Personally i prefer the air bed. The camp bed is too small. The last one is too thin. The air bed is still the best to me.

@@CC-gt3ro the self inflating mat (sim) will still be more comfortable than the airbed, esp if its a double. After going through loads of airbeds and now to a sim, I wouldn't go back. Just wish I'd have not wasted the money on airbeds and bought the sim first.

​@@CC-gt3ro Unlike the airbed, the SIM usually has a very good insulation which keeps you way warmer than the air bed with no insulation and air in it that gets cooled down from the ground up. And you'd be surprised how comfy a good SIM is. 😉
