Intro

I have written a number of reviews now on how to make a camping holiday more enjoyable and more like being in a snuggly warm hotel but in the outdoors, definitely the best of both worlds. The other aspect to achieving this kind of comfort, obviously, is an airbed, they really are an essential purchase for a good nights sleep. Having spent many a night on one of those stupid rolled up mat things (mainly at festivals), whereby you can only sleep once completely drunk, i went camping with my parents and slept on an airbed and could not believe the difference, thus i highly recommend you purchase one quickly! I bought this one from the local tesco, after the bed i was originally using began to deflate overnight. That proves that its available anywhere, and i am sure it is online too.


The product
---------------
Firstly, blowing it up is extremely easy, attach a pump of any kind to the nozzle at the bottom end and go for it, and soon you will have a nicely pumped air bed. Obviously laying on it whilst doing this at different stages is a good idea, to test how much air you want in; i actually found on the first night that having it too pumped up proved uncomfortable and something which i did not enjoy. It has a grippy top, to put your sheets or sleeping bag on, and to ensure you don't fall off it, whilst having a smoother bottom, so that it is comfy when placed on the floor.

I slept on this for 7 nights and after a first uncomfy night, when there was far too much air in it, i slept very well. It is quite thin, which can become a problem when rolling over, but at over 6ft long it suits most adults for a week or so.

As i already stated, i bought mine from Tesco where it retailed at just under £10, i think this is extremely good value as it is something that can be used again and again without too much hassle. I also believe it is available online for a good price so it may be worth looking on camping websites or equally somewhere like amazon.

Putting it down is also easy, it has a quick empty nozzle, which is about an inch wide, meaning that air floods out under pressure, and obviously it is then rolled up. You do get met with the standard airbed problem where you cannot get the last bits of air out, making it tricky to roll, but this is a flaw in the whole air bed idea, rather than with this product.


Summary
-----------
I therefore recommend this product very highly. It is well priced, comfortable and widely available. Get one quick to improve all your camping trips of the future.
