About this deal
It also features a very subtle built-in pillow and raised sides that we all thought gave good edge support and made it easy to get in and out of. The choice of airbeds for occasional guest use has become a lot more sophisticated in recent years,’ says Jessica Alexander from the National Bed Federation.
We test the most popular air beds with built-in pumps from brands such as Argos, Hi Gear, Dreamcatcher, Outwell, Vango, Yawn and more. Treat yourself to the luxurious comfort of the Hi-Gear Deluxe Single Airbed on your next camping trip. Elevate your glamping game with this delightfully comfortable mattress from bell tent makers Boutique Camping.Camping mats are thin, inflatable mattresses that roll down small and are designed for backpacking, wild camping and adventures where portability and weight are key factors. Height: A taller mattress is likely to be more comfortable, as it has more air, but, of course, it will be more cumbersome. I did struggle somewhat to get the deflated bed folded as neatly as when it had been taken out of the box. Designed for decking out your canvas yurt or tipi, this wide double mat is stuffed with a thick foam that feels very luxurious to lie on and only takes a few minutes to self-inflate despite its generous size. The raised sides, to stop you rolling out at night, are quite thin compared to other air beds I tried, but this does give you more surface area to sleep on – something my 6ft partner Daniel, who also tested the bed, appreciated.
In the morning, we note which beds have stayed firm and which ones are noticeably spongier than the night before. The bed also did well to retain its firmness in the night, needing only a little topping up after the kids had a play on it.We’d recommend using an electric pump as this is such a large mat and we had it inflated in under three minutes.
